Almost Home Foundation is a not-for-profit 501c3 charitable organization, a no-kill animal rescue funded solely by private donations, serving the northwest suburbs and surrounding areas. The Foundation has no paid employees – it is all volunteer. We are commited to reducing the number of homeless and unwanted companion animals through education programs, spay/neuter programs and volunteers who dedicate their time, homes, and hearts for our animals until that loving, permanent home is found. Our ultimate goal is to eliminate the need to ever have a healthy adoptable animal euthanized. Please visit our website at www.almosthomefoundation.org to view all puppies, dogs, kittens and cats that are eagerly waiting to be adopted.
