Meet Mabeline
APPLICATIONS AVAILABLE ON OUR ALMOST HOME FOSTER & RESCUE WEBSITE: almosthomefoster.com
Almost Home Foster Kennels, MN Lic. 132328 is a 501c3, not-for-profit, foster-based, rescue organization. AHFK is located in SE Minnesota, in the Austin/Albert Lea area. AHFK is primarily a Beagle and small dog rescue.
Our focus is to pull from High-Kill Shelters and to save those dogs that are at risk of euthanasia.
All AHFK adoptions require an approved, completed application, a Veterinarian and Personal Reference Check, a smoke-free environment, and a home visit.
Our Adoption fee is $425.00 for a single dog adoption, however, a portion of Mabeline’s adoption fee has been sponsored. We are asking $300.00 to cover the necessary vetting expenses upon her return to rescue.
All our dogs are completely vetted, 4DX tested, current on vaccinations, spayed/neutered, and microchipped.
We are currently accepting adoption applications for Mabeline.
Mabeline is 8-9 years of age. She is a tricolored Beagle. She weighed a whopping 45# when she was returned to rescue after spending 5 years with her AHFK adoptive family. Her human poppa passed away and momma had medical issues that did not allow her to properly care for Mabeline. She has lost some of her excess weight and is currently in the 38-40# weight range.
Mabeline loves the outdoors, long leash walks and just hanging out with her human parent(s).
Mabeline is a typical Beagle. She does well as an only dog…She relishes on being Queen of her Domain. She does well with male dogs of medium size or larger. She does best when fed alone or in a crate.
Applications can be accessed on our website: almosthomefoster.com
Because Mabeline is a Beagle, we are looking for a family and home that has a securely, fenced yard and a Pet Parent who either works from home or is a stay-at-home Pet Parent.
When transitioning to a new home, please allow 6-10 weeks for Mabeline to adjust. She will need this time to decompress and adjust to a new routine, schedule, and environment. During this time, we will provide check-ins and suggestions to ensure a successful transition.
We take finding the right homes for our furbabies very seriously. They deserve nothing but the best. Please allow 2-7 days for applications to be processed.
Meet and greets are scheduled upon approved, completed application. If interested in Mabeline, adoption applications can be filled out and submitted on our website:

Hello Dianne,
I am a 75 year old retired teacher who loves older dogs. In fact, I have adopted and outlived 5 of my
lovely companions. My last dog, Bennie, was an 8 yr old beagle when I adopted him. He was a wonderful
dog and died in May 2024 of congestive heart failure. I’ve been thinking of Mabeline or Buddy as prospective
adoptees. I live in St. Paul (Highland Park area) near the Mpls/St. Paul airport so I am a bit far from where you
are located. I’d like to meet somewhere inbetween if that’s possible so I could meet Mabelline. From my experience
I know if the prospective dog and I have some sort of connection, then adoption will work out.
I have a large fully fenced -in yard as I know how beagles are! My landline is 651-699-6425 or cellphone is 651-253-1319
Call anytime. Sincerely, Carol Dey
Good evening Carol,
I would love for you to have the opportunity to meet either Mabeline or Buddy. Both would love a fenced yard. I am available to meet on Saturday afternoon. Do you have a particular location in mind?
Just for info: Mabeline does have another meet and greet scheduled for Sunday also.
Let me know your thoughts on where to meet. I could meet about 3:30pm if that isn’t too late in the day, or bring her up to St. Paul on Sunday.
Dianne
