The Perfect Dog!
Read heartfelt stories of rescue, and share your rescued animal stories with others.
After I lost my sweet Maggie of 16 years (also a wonderful rescue dog) in May, I knew that I wanted to adopt another companion, but I could not do so until after the summer. I just knew there was a little friend justing waiting for me to adopt him, and sure enough, I found Matthew (now Matty) on the Almost Home Foundation's website. Poor thing was living in a kennel for 6 months because he was attacked by a dog in foster, and he was just waiting for us to come get him. He is the perfect little dog, sweet, loving, playful, and well behaved. We love him so much!
Adoption is the way to go, and the Almost Home Foundation has dedicated and kind people who give their all to find homes for dogs and cats.

About The Animal Rescue Site
The Animal Rescue Site focuses the power of the Internet on a specific need — providing food and vital care for some of the eight million unwanted animals given to shelters every year in the U.S., as well as animals in desperate need around the world. Over four million animals are put to death each year in the U.S. alone because they are abandoned and unwanted.
Each click on the purple "Click Here to Give — it's FREE!" button at The Animal Rescue Site provides food and care for a rescued animal in need. Funding for food and care is paid by site sponsors and distributed to animals in need by Rescue Bank, The Fund for Animals, the Petfinder Foundation, North Shore Animal League, International Fund for Animal Welfare,and other worthy animal rescue organizations supported by GreaterGood.org.
In addition to clicking the purple "Click Here to Give - it's FREE" button, visitors can help more by shopping in The Animal Rescue Site store. With each item purchased, shoppers generate funds for the feeding and care of animals in shelters and sanctuaries.
