This sweet girl is Piper.  She is urgently in need of a new home. Her owner has medical issues and can no longer take care of his dog. He's currently hospitalized.  She is a 10 yr old, 50-60 lb  black lab.  She is a very sweet dog gets along with both cats and dogs but is only used to living with her person, so she becomes anxious out of her comfort zone.  She also has some joint/arthritis issues so is on meds daily for that.  Although she gets along with dogs they think she is better suited as the only dog because she is not used to sharing her space with other dogs however, she can do it.  She has spent the last week with a relative with 4 dogs and had no issues but because she lived by herself with her human the past 10 years having his sole attention, we feel she would do better in that setting.  She also would do better with someone who works from home or part time as she’s used to having someone around all the time. Piper would not do well in a shelter situation, so we are desperately trying to find her a home and keep her out of there. Please let us know ASAP if you can help.

(Local adoptions preferred — Philadelphia and tri-state area [South Jersey and northern Delaware] only.) PLEASE READ BEFORE CONTACTING US! We are NOT a shelter: All of our dogs live in private homes with foster families. Come and meet the Almost Home dogs and their fosters at our Meet & Greet events, where you can learn more about our wonderful dogs from the people who live with them, find out which dogs are on their way and when they’ll arrive, and fill out an application to adopt or foster. We cannot adopt to homes where electric-shock fencing systems or training collars are used. For more information on the dangers of electric-shock collars, please visit banshockcollars.ca/studies.php . We do not have an online adoption application; to request an application, e-mail us at AlmostHome4Dogs@yahoo.com. To speed e-mail processing time, be sure to note the name of the dog you are inquiring about in the Subject line. For Meet & Greet times and locations, visit our home page, where you also will find information on our adoption process and fees. FOSTER FAMILIES ARE LIFESAVERS!! Can you open your heart and home for a few weeks to homeless shelter dog? Remember, by fostering a dog, you save TWO lives — that of your foster dog, and that of the dog who takes his place in the shelter! Come to a Meet & Greet and find out if fostering is for you — there's no reward quite like the feeling that you've saved a life ... or two!
