Father’s Day Gets a Whole New Meaning for Alf and His Furever Dad – Andrew

Alfie, a gorgeous little Bichon Frise’ was reluctantly surrendered to Almost Home Foster & Rescue.  Little Alfie, and the smallest family member were butting heads.  They were both in their “terrible twos” and they had the ability and knack to press each other’s button.  Although there are times when we would love to send out

      Ceyone, a petite, Maltese/Toy Poodle Mix was found in the wee, dark hours of the morning, laying atop the garbage in a large, 32-gallon container.  It appeared as if she was thrown out with the trash as one would do when cleaning their car.  She was just laying there.  Too stunned to
