⭐️DOG OF THE WEEK⭐️
Meet Roo! This cutie is around 9 months old and is a Bully mix. He came to us from the pound after he was found running with his brother Rio and they were never claimed. He’s been great with other dogs, but we are unsure how he is with cats. He has met a few kids and has done fine, but does like to jump. He is such a happy dog and loves getting all the loves from everyone. He loves going for walks, but does need to learn some leash manners. He also loves playing ball and pretty much with any toy he can find. He is a very active boy and would love a nice active family who will take him on lots of walks. He is neutered, current on vaccines, negative for heartworm, and microchipped.
If interested in adopting Roo please go on our website and fill out an application ❤️🏠
⭐️CAT OF THE WEEK⭐️
Meet Penny. She was our sweet girl that came to us from the pound as an unclaimed stray and ended up needing her leg amputated. She has been feeling so much better since she had that painful leg removed and she is ready to find her forever home. She originally had a home lined up before she had surgery, but unfortunately they changed their minds. We recently introduced her to other cats and she has been great with them. She is a very active cat for having only 3 legs and is always looking to play and roll around on the floor. She LOVES attention and always makes sure we know she is in her kennel when we walk in the room. She is spayed, current on vaccines, negative for FIV/FELV, and microchipped.

⭐️CAT OF THE WEEK⭐️
Meet Teddy❤️
Teddy is around a year old and came to us when his owner had too many cats and could no longer care for them. He is very shy and keeps to himself most of the time. He would thrive in a home with other cats as they help him come out his shell and make him more confident. He does enjoy being pet, but at this time doesn’t like to be picked up. He has already come a long way since he first arrived and we think once he gets into a home environment he will do so much better. He is neutered, current on vaccines, negative for FIV/felv, and microchipped

⭐️DOG OF THE WEEK⭐️
Meet Frannie! ❤️ This goofy girl is around a year old and we think she is a German Shepherd/Husky mix. She came to us from the pound as an unclaimed stray a few months ago. She was adopted out and unfortunately returned due to no fault of her own as her owner ended up having to move and couldn’t take her with. She is very friendly and energetic. She still needs to learn some basic obedience, but she is very treat motivated and learning fast. She lived with a cat recently and did just fine. She has been great with all the dogs she has met so far. We think she would do best with older kids as she is still learning not to jump on people. She is spayed, current on vaccines, tested negative for heartworm, and is microchipped.

Bambi says if anyone needs help with their garden she is your girl! ❤️ She even has her own watering can 😂🪴
Tobias wants to thank everyone that donated towards his eyes and getting a dental done. He had to have 7 teeth pulled and he is already doing amazing and feeling much better without those painful eyes❤️ we are happy to let everyone know that if all goes well he does have a forever home to go to 😊🏡
Our pretty girl Milly got ADOPTED today! Everyone was so excited that we forgot to take a picture. So please enjoy this video of her yesterday enjoying an afternoon snack. Yay Milly! Enjoy your new home!🏡 ❤️
⭐️ DOG OF THE WEEK⭐️ Presley❤️ Meet Presley! This handsome man is around 1.5 years old and his breed is your best guess! We have no idea why this boy is still with us! He is such a happy dog with a goofy personality. He LOVES playing ball and loves sitting pretty. He is pretty high energy and needs a home that will take him on lots of walks or runs. He has a few volunteers that come and spend time with him and every weekend he gets a cheeseburger from his friends Jen and Kendall😁 he seems a little picky about other dogs, so a meet and greet is a must if you have any other dogs in your home and would do best in a home with no cats. He is neutered, current on vaccines, tested negative for heartworm, and microchipped If interested in adopting Presley please go on our website and fill out an application 🏡
Happy Monday! To start off our first week of Saint Pitties month we would like to introduce you to our boy Duke❤️🍀 Duke is 8 years old and originally came to us when he was just an 8 week old puppy along with his siblings. He was adopted out and had a great life with a very nice family, but unfortunately had to be returned recently. After owners had a new baby and he began walking it made Duke very nervous and uncomfortable. The decision for the owners to return him was not easy, but they knew it was best. He would do good in any home as long as there is no babies/toddlers. He is good with other dogs and cats as well. Don’t let his age fool you. He still loves to run around and play. He likes going for walks, but also loves just laying around and being a couch potato. He is neutered, current on vaccines, tested negative for heartworm, and is microchipped. In the past a DNA test was done on one of Dukes siblings and the results were American Pitbull Terrier/Doberman/Husky/Shepherd. If you know our girl Binx that we have available for adoption that is his mom❤️ If you are interested in Duke please go on our website and fill out an application 🏡 *a really cute baby picture of Duke included in the comments*

Who had the opportunity to meet our Spotlight Pet, Fiona, at National Night Out on Tuesday?! Thank you to the Fort Dodge Police Department -Official- for allowing us to join their annual event! Fiona was pretty nervous with all the commotion at first, but she felt more and more comfortable with each kind human she interacted with. She startled easily when kids came up to her too quickly, but eventually she got used to meeting kids of all ages! We think it helped that most of the kids' fingers tasted like cotton candy and other tasty treats. 😋🍭 She gave babies little kisses on their toes, and the bigger kids got extra kisses on their sugary hands and faces. Sam and Allix made sure to eat alllllll the chocolate off their dilly bars so Fiona could enjoy the final licks of ice cream from the Ardys Mae Coffee and Dessert truck! We don’t know what her life was like before we met her, but we can tell you that Fiona is one of the absolute sweetest dogs we have right now! She’s a beautiful lab mix, estimated to be about 3-1/2 years old and she came to us as an unclaimed stray in early February this year. She is timid when meeting new people, but after a gentle greeting, she will warm up very quickly! Fiona’s future family will experience years of loving and loyal companionship from this girl. She loves to play fetch, particularly with stuffed toys — and she actually drops it for you to throw again! When she’s not playing, she’ll want to be snuggled up on a soft bed or – even better – in the lap of one of her beloved humans. Our sweet Fiona has missed out on being part of a family for close to six months now. We love her as part of our Almost Home family, but we can’t wait for her to find her forever family! 📄 If you think Fiona sounds like a perfect addition to your family, visit our website to fill out an application: www.almosthomeiowa.org 🤝 If you already have an approved application, contact us to set up a Meet & Greet with Fiona!
