Our Success

  When Dave and I began Almost Home Foster & Rescue, we had stated that  we would always try to help those furbabies that were “located in our own backyard.”  We had been tagging, pulling, and saving so many dogs from the Southern states, “trying to save them all,”  a feat that we quickly learned, is […]

“Do you know any Doberman Pinscher Rescues up there?  I have a full-blooded female.  Ears and tail docked, fully vetted, very sweet and was at one time, fully trained…one just needs to know the right words.  She gets along with other dogs, cats – so-so, and very small dogs.  A Vet Tech got her from

  Lilly, one of the final four to make it to rescue as a breeder-release, found her furever home and family on Friday.  Lilly, a white, nearly 8# Toy Poodle enjoyed a full spa treatment, courtesy of Amanda Weigel, owner/operator of The Pet Authority in Albert Lea, finalized her vetting, including a complete dental with Doctor

Fancy * IA came to Almost Home Foster & Rescue by way of a breeder release.  Over the past several years, AHFK has been assisting a local breeder to downsize and eventually close the doors to their breeding business, restructure their vision in animal care, renovate their building and business and re-open as a boarding facility

Approximately 6 years ago Almost Home Foster & Rescue assisted a local breeder with finding homes for the dogs that were being released from breeding.  Their intent was to close their breeding facility and focus on renovating their facility into a boarding kennel instead.  In April, AHFK took the last of their dogs into rescue.

  We love repeat adopters. William first became an AHFK family member in October of 2020 when he adopted Tucker.  Tucker, if one remembers, lived in Oklahoma with his family.  The family dynamics changed and the family split and moved out and on, however, they left Tucker behind.  Tucker was taken in by a foster

  Charly, along with her 5 siblings made her way to Minnesota, to Almost Home Foster & Rescue at the age of 6 months.  Their momma had been listed on Craigslist as “free to a good home.”  We all know where that could lead and the horror stories that circulate because of animals being given away
