About

Meet Lacy

AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION! Lacy is about 15 lb at 10 weeks old and our best breed guess is Bernese shepherd mix. Her foster mom calls her little miss lucky as she has come so far since being found as a stray with her mom and sister. Some wonderful rescuers have been trying for some time to trap her mama who unfortunately doesn’t understand they’re trying to help and doesn’t want to be caught. For now, Lacy and her sister are safe and have a bright future ahead. The team continues to lure mom in so she doesn’t have to raise another litter ever again. Lacy is food motivated and is off to a great start potty training. She is doing well sleeping in her crate through the night with her sister. Lacy enjoys exploring and is doing well walking around the neighborhood on a leash. She loves playing with her fur sister and the resident dogs and kids in her foster home. She is a snuggler and will cuddle up on the couch next to you or, even better, on your lap. She is happy to soak up all the pets, but will also chill with a toy next to you. Don’t be fooled though, Lacy has a lot of puppy energy! It would be best for her to find a forever home with a fenced yard and an active family committed to continuing her training and keeping her well socialized with other fur friends. Lacy is the sweetest and a special family will be the luckiest to welcome little miss lucky into her furever home. Email [email protected] to apply for Lacy today!  Please email us at [email protected] for more info or an application. (Local adoptions preferred — Philadelphia and tri-state area [South Jersey and northern Delaware] only.) NOTE: Most puppies do best in the company of an older dog who can teach them "doggy manners," so homes with at least one other dog usually will be given preference in puppy adoptions. Please read Suzanne Clothier's wonderful article, "It Takes a Pack to Raise a Puppy!" 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 [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!
