A foster-based, non-profit 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to finding loving, forever homes for homeless animals.
Hours by Appointment Only.
Nikki the German Shepherd spent months on the streets of Detroit before Almost Home Animal Rescue League and South Lyon Murphy Lost Animal Recovery saved the dog.
It`s me Kito. I`m starting to feel left out again as no one has reached out to foster or to adopt me.
I`m as sweet as can be and everyone says, I am so cute too.
I really have to find a place to cozy asap. You see Almost Home doesn’t have a facility anymore. They rely on people like you.
Our volunteers are full over the top.
I don’t think I could bear going to a shelter. I would think I was back at the meat market.
Please take the time to watch my story on video it’s right above my post. I know the production isn’t the greatest but if you have patience you will see what I went through. If you watch the whole video you will see how I flourished.
No one deserves what I went through. Watching my friends being killed and so much more.
Almost Home is so disturbed and sickened they are making a plan to save more dogs like me.
But for now I need a home real, real bad.
Please fill out an application to foster or adopt me.
Praying I don`t have to go to a shelter or be boarded either. Most boarding facilities are full for the holiday coming up.
Desperately praying for a temporary or permanent home.
Love,
Kito xo ❤️❤️

Happy Gotcha Day Maverick!From his new Mom ❤️ “You came to us 1 year ago a scared, skinny little guy that would coward in the corner of your crate and growl. You were terrified of the leash and did’t want to go on walks. You were not potty trained and would mark all over the house. I was going to be a new empty nester, I needed you and you needed me. Oh my how you’ve grown! Put on some weight, grew some wonderfully crazy wiry hair, love, love your walks…can do 3 miles and still come home and want to play! You’re favorite things are playing fetch (and boy are you fast), back scratches (you melt in my arms and fall asleep) and snuggling up in bed with me. I think we both hit the Jackpot when Almost Home picked me to be your mama. ❤️🐶”

It is #givingthursday time and we wanted to thank everyone for your continued support! All donations/funds go directly to animals in need. We use donations towards bones, stuffed squeaker toys (an all-time pup favorite), wet food, medication, dry food, leashes, collars, tags, supplies and vet bills. It costs a lot to keep Almost Home animals fed, warm and safe while we help them find their forever homes. Consider donating today! 🐶❤🐶❤🐶

Meet the ever so handsome Ramen (aka Romen). He is very laid back 8-year-old Poodle mix (25 pounds). He was rescued from an overcrowded shelter in the south. Almost Home took him in where he has been living a cozy life in his foster home. He unfortunately had heartworm and Almost Home paid for him to get well. He just finished his treatments and is negative at this time. He may have had some arthritis in his back legs. His treatment included steroids and it seemed to help. Fill out an Adoption Application to meet him ❤
Here are some things his foster mom says about him:
* He loves to be pet by everyone.
* He loves rubber balls and chew sticks but may show a little possession with them.
* He loves to be brushed and has been trimmed a little (by foster mom is not a groomer lol).
* Sole dog in home. Not sure about cats.

Our little Valencia, or Val for short, is as perfect and ideal as the orange variety he’s named after! Valencia Oranges are known to have a famous bit of bitter tang in their sweetness, giving them this distinct character, and that was Valencia’s first weeks here on earth. He was born on a farm, nurtured and cared for by his mother, but then unexpectedly losing her not long after his birth, and having only his brother (Clementine) to cling to for security and hope of what might happen next. When Almost Home Rescue heard about this tragedy of motherless kittens needing bottle feedings and nursing and all-around comfort, we wanted to give him the best beginning in life that we could. Having a lactating mother cat in our Rescue currently nursing her baby, (Strawberry Shortcake & Orange Blossom), who had suffered a loss herself before coming to us, we thought it might be the perfect comfort and decided to try to save his life.
Since then, Valencia has turned the corner from a grieving sweetheart who was unsure of his future with his four paws wrapped around his brother, to a precious kitten who is so sweet. He’s a kitten who has thrived on any reassurance, and is growing every day in his confidence and joy. Valencia is weaned and on solid foods, is litter box trained, growing in his independence, and looks for comfort of being held (his adoptive feline Mommy brings him to her side, kisses him, lets him rest on her back, and when she’s done her part, his Foster Home Mommy does the same!) 😊 Would you have it in your heart to continue the comfort this sweet boy, and tell him his life from now on is going to be as peaceful as the soft blue seas and as gentle as the kisses he gives? Do you like stargazing? Because that’s Val’s favorite time of night, and he looks up to any evening sky without fail, each night, with a special connection and a smile on his face and his head distinctly raised, in absolute peace. Or perhaps he’s just thanking his 1st Mommy…….running his motor, and telling her he’s just fine.

Have you ever met a kitten so special, so intriguing, that an entire song & country line-dance was the inspiration for his name? Then you’ll definitely want to meet our “Orange Blossom Special”, and you’ll be instantly enamored! There isn’t a person who has laid eyes upon him, or held him in their arms, who doesn’t fall in love.
The offspring of the beautiful Strawberry Shortcake, a sweetheart of a dilute calico mother, he takes after her dilute coloring with a stunningly buff and white coat, eyes a mixture of blue and golden flecks, and the most lovely length of fur thusfar that is the softest you’ve ever felt. He is inseparable from his mother (and would love if you’d ever consider a bonded pair adoption, his dream come true!), always by her side learning his set of manners on how to properly conduct himself, his extremely affectionate demeanor gleaned from her, and his love of being held and played with, sweetness in all he does, all that she has gifted him for his future endeavors.
Orange Blossom has also worked hard on his character trait of courage, in spite of what he’s been faced with, and it shows in his positive, can-do approach to life. He’s the first to want to try anything, and he’ll make you giggle at his growing interest in climbing and exploring, playing with toys or his adopted siblings, taking his naps in the fuzzy cat hammock in the sunshine that he scales levels to reach, and lying on your chest or in your hands, for an abundance of kisses, strokes, and affection. There isn’t anyone he has met, human, canine, or feline, that he isn’t instantly connected with. He loves when you sing to him, or a song is on the computer or radio, and we’d bet he’d dance to his namesake-song if only he could, it describes his personality that much! You won’t regret it, he’ll be your Orange Blossom Special, and he’ll shower you with all that he is, and can be in the future, if only you’ll let him into your heart.

Almost Home Animal Rescue League was founded in 1999 by Gail Montgomery Schwartz and Lauren Montgomery Anchill. The mother and daughter team became disheartened while volunteering at various animal shelters.
Being of the ‘never kill’ philosophy, they were disturbed by the endless euthanasia practiced simply because animals were born homeless and society felt there was no place for them.
Gail and Lauren wanted a huge difference in our animals’ lives. Almost Home became the first Never Kill 501 (c)(3) animal rescue organization. Almost Home is the one and only pure never kill organization. It’s truly a place for dogs and cats to not only feel safe but to be safe.
We are so proud of our work and all the people who are instrumental in saving lives with us. Here’s to being the model never kill animal rescue. Love to all. Peace and good life to all.
