Nonprofit Overview

Causes: Animal Protection & Welfare, Animals

Mission: Almost Home Rescue is an all-breed canine rescue group. This 501c3 non-profit organization is dedicated to saving lives and finding forever homes for stray, abandoned and surrendered dogs in high kill shelters, as well as locally surrendered dogs. We are an all volunteer run organization. All the dogs listed are either still waiting in Arkansas Shelters, or in New England Foster Homes waiting to be adopted. We do not have a physical shelter as we are strictly a Dog Rescue organization. All of our dogs arrive with a current Health Certificate, are up to date with vaccinations and are transported on an U.S.D.A. approved transport. We are permitted importers for Maine and New Hampshire.

I have been a volunteer for Almost Home Rescue for the past several years. The volunteers go above and beyond time and time again. I participate or host adoption days, I do home visits, local transports and am the Volunteer Coordinator. I have volunteered with other rescues in the past and Almost Home far exceeds in professionalism, expertise and caring. This is their tenth year in rescue and shows the dedication of the volunteers and the AHR leaders to continue for such a worthy cause. I am also the guardian of an Almost Home rescue dog. He is my boy and I thank Almost Home Rescue for bringing him into my life.

My husband & I both volunteer for AHR. We can't say enough good things about this group of caring people. We foster & I do home inspections. We try our best to make sure the home is safe & that the dog is a good match. It is very rewarding to be a part of socializing , training & loving these pets, who without AHR wouldn't not have had a chance.

Integrity, heartwarming and honorable are the words that describe my volunteer work with AHR, Recently, I fostered a senior German Shepard that a lovely veteran was compelled to adopt. While fostering the Shepard he was determined to have an infection and desperately needing a teeth cleaning. After hours of transporting and carrying this poor pup AHR paid for his blood work testing and treatment. Additionally, they brought the lovely lad back from his new country home, had his teeth cleaned and transported back for a healthier life at his new forever home. What more can a 10+ year old pup love?? Unconditional love and treatment after years of horrific treatment.

I am a volunteer and a client! I have three Almost Home Rescue dogs, and they are wonderful! Almost Home Rescue is a reputable all-volunteer rescue that is a 501(c)3 non-profit. They are in their tenth year of rescuing dogs from Mississippi and Arkansas as well as taking in local surrenders in New England - dogs that find themselves in need of a new forever home for a variety of reasons. The volunteers are knowledgeable and professional, and they go the extra mile to make sure that these dogs find safe and loving homes. Thank you, Almost Home Rescue!

AHR rescues adoptable dogs from the south that otherwise likely won't make it, and moves them up to the northeast for adoption. This all volunteer group has amazing organization, efficiency, passion, and coordination to save as many dogs as possible. Their knowledge base is extraordinary! Each dog is loved and tracked, from the south, while in transport, through adoption, and beyond so that no dog in their care is ever abandoned again. My Loki is an AHR dog, as are so many in Maine, and I have loved volunteering as a dog transporter. We need volunteers, fosters and adopters!
