Adopt a Terrier (short coat)

Meet Max.  He is approx 2 years old , beautiful brindle, maybe 60 lbs. of solid muscle He is extremely high energy and would do well with a large fenced yard. He knows sit, stay, come, paw, and is housebroken.He is great with his foster's  kids, which are 16 and 11, and   he came from a home with children. He is a licker with a long crazy Gene Simmons tongue and loves to snuggle. He loves to be close to you and whines when you walk out of the room but settles down in a moment or two. He does not like to go in a crate but is well behaved in one.

Please email us at [email protected] to find out if Max is the right one for you! (Local adoptions preferred — Philadelphia and tri-state area [South Jersey and northern Delaware] only.)

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 and http://www.hollysden.com/say_no_to_shock.htm (scroll down and click on the  "Invisible Fencing Systems" link).

We do not have an online adoption application; to request an application, e-mail us at [email protected]. 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.

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!
