Our Success

Lillian was surrendered to Almost Home Foster & Rescue of MN by a local, SE Minnesota breeder.  The owner of the breeding facility had purchased Lillian from an Amish-based puppy mill.  She had been used extensively to produce beautiful, Red Cocker Spaniels.  However, her life, for 24/7 had been confined to a cage, only to […]

  It is a common weekly, sometimes daily occurrence to receive another plea for help from Almost Home Foster & Rescue’s Foster Momma Felicia Stilley.  This woman, upon waking nearly every day, finds another abandoned, dumped, neglected, four-legged furbaby in her yard.  Word has gotten around her hometown that she cares for and fosters the

The region where AHFK is located is in a rural area of SE Minnesota.  The community is mainly elderly or retired couples, those who are looking for a smaller furbaby and companion who can travel with them, snuggle with them, and be a comfort to them.  The Chihuahua breed is an easier breed to place

The plea went out for KY Little Girl.  She was surrendered to a small, rural animal shelter in Albany KY.  She was just a year old.  Her owners claimed that they could no longer afford her daily needs – she wasn’t sick.  She didn’t have a medically condition.  She didn’t require anything of great monetary

Sandy, an F1 Cavapoo was surrendered to Almost Home Foster & Rescue from a local breeder.  She was released at the age of 18 months and escaped from a life of breeding.  She is a lucky one.  Many are destined to breed unto death.  This, however, was not to be the fate of Sandy.  

Luna came to Almost Home Foster & Rescue from Oklahoma.   Luna, along with Luke, a small, long-haired Chihuahua, were both surrendered to Foster Momma Felicia when the family could no longer care for them.  Luke was adopted immediately.  Initially Luna went to her furever home, however, it was discovered that her furever poppa was severely

Ashley, our second of 4, was released to Almost Home Foster & Rescue from a local breeder.  Ashley, a 3-month-old puppy, found the perfect home and family.  We are extremely careful in placing our puppies.  They are too young to be spayed/neutered, therefore they enter a “Foster to Adopt” agreement.  The families assume all the

Abe, a petite, F1b CavaPoo puppy, was released by a local breeder.  Abe, along with three other additional releases made their way to Almost Home Foster & Rescue.  The initial social media posting brought a barrage of inquiries and as many adoption applications.   Kami and her husband, and their daughters recently lost their little

“Her name is Speck.  She was born the runt of the litter.  She was no bigger than a speck.”  Speck was released to Almost Home Foster & Rescue from an area breeder.  This little girl was the quietest, well-mannered, little Beagle that I had ever run across.  She wasn’t hunting material…she was a lap dog. 

Albert is the result of a backyard breeder who couldn’t sell all the puppies from this litter.  The backyard breeder does as one usually does… “Free to good home, need them gone.”  In many cases, the pups are abandoned, taken to shelters, euthanized, some at the hand of a vet, many in disgusting, inhumane ways.
