Meet Iris

Meet  Iris !  This sweet little bundle of personality is a 32 lb shepherd mix (we think with corgi) and is 2 years old.  Iris  has been an incredibly well mannered house guest with her foster family. She's completely house trained.  Iris  is also crate trained and sleeps through the night.  She sits like a champ and walks well on a leash. Oh, and her ears are amazing!   Iris  loves to go for walks and hikes. She loves wearing her harness and eagerly hops into her crate in the car to go on adventures. When not busy with the yard or adventures, Iris is always ready for her other passion...cuddling her humans on the couch (and snoring a little as she sleeps). She eagerly watches for us to hop on the couch, and jumps up excitedly just to find a comfortable lap.    Iris  spends most of her day sleeping on the couch or cuddling with the other dogs in her foster home. She loves to meet new people and most dogs, and is great with kids especially our teenage son. Sometimes female dogs are a bit iffy, and she has a tiny bit of resource guarding around other dogs, but only with very strongly preferred food or items. We think she'd do best in a house with another pup (preferably male) or as an only dog. But, she's not a fan of cats.   In all,  Iris  is a happy and affectionate girl looking to start the next chapter of her life with her forever family! (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 [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. 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!

Adoption Process
We require vet and reference checks and a home visit for all adoptions. Our adoption fee is $275 with an extra $50 deposit for unaltered puppies.
