Residents Looking for Forever Homes

Zeus
3 year old Zeus needs to find a forever home. Zeus is housebroken and
gets along with most other dogs. We require a standard fence for Zeus and he will only be placed in a home
with adults only or children well into their teenage years. Zeus is just too active for the youngsters, though
he settles and behaves beautifully for adults.

Brady
10 year old Brady is just a wonderful dog - - - - plain and simple. He
loves everyone and everything - gets along fine with other dogs and cats, is housebroken, and just needs
a home to call his own.
|  |
 |
Chewie
Every now and then, a truly special dog enters rescue - this is one of them. 10 year old Chewie's
owners had to move and he couldn't go with them. He is one of the sweetest natured dogs we have here. He's very well behaved, crate
trained and housebroken, and likes everyone.

Justice
8 - 10 year old Justice is simply a sweetheart of a boy. He's a good
looking, sweet dispositioned boy that is lively and always looking for fun, fun, fun. Unfortunately,
that fun may lie on the other side of a fence, so he will need a 6' fence, invisible fence, or someone
willing to take the time to leash walk him (and he is soooooo worth the effort) |
 |

Stacey
4 year old Stacey is a sweetheart girl who LOVES people, including children of all ages,
but she will not share her home with another pet. She just wants to be the "only furkid". She's housebroken and very loving.

Tripper - Golden Retriever Mix
Tripper is one of the best boys we have ever had the pleasure of helping here. He's about 4 - 5 years
old, and has personality PLUS, PLUS, PLUS. This smaller sized Golden mix boy is guaranteed to make you smile. Tripper came to us heartworm
positive, but he has been treated, neutered, and is ready to go home with some lucky person.

Buddy
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.

Bettie
- Golden Retriever, Labrador, Hound mix
2 - 3 year old Bettie has had a hard life so far. She was picked up as a stray, with an injured eye,
dislocated hip, and pregnant. Bettie's eye had to be removed, she is now spayed, up to date on all vaccinations, and heartworm negative.
Her hip did not warrant surgery at this time. In spite of the terrible life she has had, this sweet, forgiving animal loves people of all ages,
though we think toddlers might be too much for her physically.

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! |

Lizzie - Golden Retriever mix
8 - 10 year old Lizzie was abandoned on a country road. She's a great girl who will undergo dental treatment soon. She doesn't have a lot of teeth left, but she does just fine at meal time - - - - - - This girl will chase kitties. She's an older girl who just wants to find that forever home she so truly deserves.

Buck
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.

Earline - Coonhound
We just don't understand why poor Earline keeps being passed by - - - - - Look at
this face! Brown on one side, white on the other, and oh so sweet. This girl is simply one of the nicest animals you
could ever imagine. She was tossed aside by her previous owner after having weaned her last litter of puppies. She
deserves a good home where she can live out her life as someone's beloved companion and friend.

Cody - Golden Retriever mix
2 - 3 year old Cody is quite
a character. He really doesn't like to be inside by himself,
though he is a love bug whenever he is with people. Cody
is a Houdini and we feel it is best for him to stay with
with Almost Heaven until his urge to escape and run free
is manageable. He has never met a stranger and loves other
pets, too.

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.
