Available for adoption! Neptune (his foster family loving calls him Winston) is a 3-year-old, 50-pound Lab mix with a gentle heart and a love for the outdoors. When he first arrived after being found as a stray, he was understandably a little unsure of his new surroundings. With a little time his sweet personality quickly began to shine through. After just a few days out of the shelter, Neptune started seeking out affection and becoming a fun, happy and playful guy. This handsome boy enjoys the simple things in life—fresh air, exploring outside, and going for walks: he walks beautifully on a leash! He also gets along very well with other dogs. He has been a gentleman in the house and has been great being gated into a room when his foster family isn't home. Neptune is a sweet, gentle soul who just needed a little time to feel safe. Now that he’s come out of his shell, he’s ready to find a patient, loving home where he can continue share all the affection he has to give. If you are interested in Neptune please email us for an application at almosthome4dogs@yahoo.com! (Local adoptions preferred — Philadelphia and tri-state area [South Jersey and northern Delaware] only.) PLEASE READ BEFORE CONTACTING US! 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 . We do not have an online adoption application; to request an application, e-mail us at AlmostHome4Dogs@yahoo.com. 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. FOSTER FAMILIES ARE LIFESAVERS!! Can you open your heart and home for a few weeks to homeless shelter dog? Remember, by fostering a dog, you save TWO lives — that of your foster dog, and that of the dog who takes his place in the shelter! 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!
