Buddy is about as cute as a Golden Retriever can get. He was heartworm positive when he came to us, but has been successfully treated and is now ready for his forever home. Buddy is probably 6 - 7 years old, and would prefer to be the only pet as he doesn't like to "share". |

Toby 9 - 10 year old Toby's owner had some bad luck and could no longer care for him and his brother, Toby - so Toby is looking for a new forever home to live out his "retirement" years. Toby is very spry for an older dog, and loves to go outside and play and go for walks. He is housebroken and gets along with other pets. This wonderful old boy would be a terrific addition to any home and family. |

Bubba 9 - 10 year old Bubba's owner had some bad luck and could no longer care for him and his brother, Toby - so Bubba is looking for a new forever home to live out his "retirement" years. This boy does have some arthritis, but seems to be handling the meds for it very well. Once he gets going, he is a ball fetching machine and LOVES to go for walks. He is housebroken and gets along with other pets. This grand old gent just needs a soft bed, a tennis ball, and love! |

11 year old Buck found himself homeless when his owners moved and he couldn't go. Buck is a big sweetheart of a dog - completely housebroken - and very loving. Buck is missing a front leg, but that does not slow him down one bit. It appears he had it surgically removed many years ago. Buck likes the company of most female canines, but would really rather not deal with another male dog in his house. |

Andy Poor 10 year old Andy first entered a rescue when his original owner no longer wanted to deal with his storm phobia issue. His second owner passed away. He ended up back in rescue when his phobia resulted in an incident involving a family member. Since Andy has a history of assorted phobias Almost Heaven feels his interests are best served remaining here as a permanent resident. |

Sunny (male) Sunny is a GREAT boy, approx. 8 yrs old. He's happy, loves his tennis balls, very loving, but he really would prefer to be your only fur friend. Sunny would do best with his own fenced yard so that he can run and chase his tennis ball to his heart's delight. |

Trevor Trevor came to Almost Heaven about 3 years ago from a rural shelter in Ohio. He is now about 9 - 10 years old. He had been picked up as a stray, adopted, then returned when he didn’t get along with the adoptors resident dog. Trevor is extremely storm phobic and does discriminate in his choice of canine companions, so placing him in a forever home was going to be a challenge. What we didn’t anticipate, however, was Trevor’s attitude towards potential adoptors—he completely ignores them! This is behavior we had never seen before—especially from Trevor, who is extremely outgoing and loving with us. |
|
So, after over 2 years of failed attempts to find him a home, we decided that it was probably in his best interest to stay where he is obviously happy and content. Trevor came to us well trained. Someone really loved him at one time as he is trained to sit, sit up and beg, speak, and dance. And, Trevor is very loved once again. |

Allie Allie, approx. 8 years old, was transferred to Almost Heaven from a rescue up north where she could no longer adjust to family life after suffering from uncontrolled allergies for years and years. Her reaction to these allergies became so bad they left her very sensitive to being touched. So far, the change of climate appears to be improving her condition. |
|
Jessie Too Jessie, Too came from a NE shelter where she ended up after having spent most of her life on the end of a chain. At 13 years young, she could not adjust to life in a normal household, and so she will remain in rescue for the remainder of her life. |

Huckleberry 10-12 year old Huck is such a good looking boy. But, something happened to Huck before he came to us - and he just plain doesn't like other pets. He LOVES people - but as far as we can determine at this point, he could be dangerous to other pets in the home. We are going to have Huck evaluated for a couple of medical conditions and work with him on accepting other pets, but with his history, he would be best suited to remain with Almost Heaven as a permanent resident. |

Roo Roo, a young boy who was born with no front legs, has led a hard life. He has been successfully treated for heartworm disease and received a wheelchair, wonderfully donated to him. Even without the wheelchair, Roo gets around just fine using a series of walking on his hind legs, hopping and flopping sort of like a frog. He's a happy boy, but does have some issues as he really is very distrustful of strangers, and very headstrong about taking correction. He is a sweetheart, though, and has quickly become one of Almost Heaven's favorites. |
