Almost Home Canine Rescue

"I have been a foster at Almost Home Canine Rescue for about a year. The entire organization is run on volunteers, from medication mentors, the social media team, application screening…. all the way up to the director herself. Every single penny goes back to the animals and nobody takes a dime for themselves. The entire organization has a collective goal: making sure the animals are safe, well taken care of, and go to loving homes. Every animal is spayed/neutered and up to date on vaccinations. The rescue even works with different trainers to help with the doggos that struggle with different things like socialization or basic obedience. They carefully screen potential adopters, fosters, and volunteers to ensure it is a good fit. Every single animal adopted out by Almost Home has been cared for, loved, and prepared for having a forever home. I will only recommend Almost Home to anyone looking to rescue an animal because I know first hand the amount of care that goes into each and every fur baby."

"Workers tirelessly give of their time and pour their hearts into helping dogs from all over the state. They celebrate when pups are adopted, and hearts break when things don't go so well. They take in so many and never, ever, give up."

"I adopted my sweet male Rescue Kyler from almost home canine rescue. The work these people do are nothing short of amazing. I adopted directly from a fosterer whom also works at the rescue (aside from her main job as a nurse). I saw first hand how much work she puts into helping these animals. The things these people do are so selfless and noble. They save countless lives on daily a basis . They put their heart and soul into this rescue and go above and beyond what most people would ever do. To say I admire them is an understatement."

"It is hard to put into words and quantify the gratitude I feel for the Almost Home Canine Rescue (AHCR). They have grown our family and hearts by 2 sweet dogs. Because they actually take the dogs and cats in need into their homes, we felt comfortable asking all our questions and making multiple visits to see if these dogs were right for us. We knew their medical history and if they were behaved around children. The AHCR kept the dogs healthy and safe in a loving home until we could adopt them. They asked questions and required a tour of our home so they knew the animal was going to a good home. The way this organization is run, really creates the most successful outcome possible for the animals. Our family highly recommends Almost Home Canine Rescue."

"I've adopted two dogs from Almost Home and then began working as a foster. This organization is dedicated to the dogs they are saving even after adoption. As an adopter and foster I was set up to succeed because Almost Home has resources put in place, including training access. As a foster of a dog who has abuse in her past and struggles with reactivity, Katie and her team have invested hundreds in behavioral training to help Autumn succeed (and me). I've never seen her say no even when it seems impossible for the rescue to do anymore with the resources it has. The group is inspiring."

"We adopted our sweet Noel from Almost home 3 years ago last month after a meet and greet. The whole process was so professional and they knew the dogs personality and she was the perfect fit for our family. She is now 5 and such a sweetheart, you could tell that the foster parents had taken time and worked with her."

"I adopted my dog Dory thru Almost Home when she was only 10 weeks old. When I adopted her I was told she had more energy than your normal puppy and those words have never been more true! I have worked hard to include brain drain and physical activity to help her live her best life. I am so grateful the rescue was completely honest with me about her needs. We’ve been together almost 4 years and she calms down a little more every year. She keeps me on my toes and makes me so happy!!"

"We adopted our girl Dakota from Almost Home Canine Rescue in South Dakota. She is a sensitive girl and an old soul and she has taught us so much about unconditional love, taking time to trust in others and at the same time how to let loose and just enjoy life. Working with AHCR and her Foster Mom were flawless and we even made a lasting friendship with her Foster during the process ♥️"
