Our Success

One of my rescue passengers back to Minnesota from the Kansas City MO area was Luke. Luke and Luna had a family, but their Chihuahua traits and their activity level was more than what this particular family could handle, so, they were surrendered to AHFK Foster Momma Felicia Stilley. Felicia has big dogs and little […]

Aspen, a small, petite, Lemon Beagle was surrendered to Almost Home Foster MN License #132328 earlier this month. The inquiries and applications were abundant. She was the perfect size – 14# , a “Lemon,” quiet, atypically for a Beagle, and a cuddler…man, could she cuddle. Her desire for a pet, a love, a lap was

Josie, a 3-year-old Blue Merle Aussie Doodle was surrendered to Almost Home Foster & Rescue. The demand for a “little or no shedding” dog is high. I have a rescued “oodle” myself and I quite enjoy at least one dog who doesn’t contribute to the “hair bunnies” that can be found in nearly every corner

When an application is received, processed, and all the boxes are checked, then and only then do we at Almost Home Foster & Rescue schedule a meet and greet. This time, the procedure was backwards. We were contacted by Paul and Julie. They would be traveling in the Albert Lea area on Thursday and, “if

One year for Christmas, I received a game called “See the USA.” I loved that game. Due to the financial status of our family, and its size, we weren’t able to travel and see the sights that the United States had to offer. This game gave me an escape to “travel” the USA if only

Sometimes the rescue weekend starts early. Sometimes it starts on Wednesday. And that is exactly how this weekend started. Of course, I still had to go to my real job, the job that nets me a paycheck, the one that allows me to do rescue, but afterward the clock is punched, it’s all about the

Rescue is NOT and should NOT be considered a competitive sport. It is for the animals. It is for something bigger than oneself. It is not about you on a personal level, or about your organization. It is ALL about the dog, the cat, the reptile…whatever needs saving. Rescue is ALL about finding the best

The stork kept busy this weekend when a second delivery was planned and the awaiting parents, Amy and Grant and their two sons, waited excitedly to receive their new furbaby into the family. Sara, a Cavapoo, was also released to AHFK in hopes of finding a perfect family and home for her. And, we did.

This past weekend we celebrated two, in my book, National Holidays: National Dog Mom Day on May 11th and Mother’s Day on May 12th, today. I can’t think of a better way to celebrate either day than for Almost Home Foster & Rescue to play the preverbal stork and deliver furbabies to awaiting mommas and
