For 19 years, AHF has been committed to reducing the number of homeless and unwanted companion animals through the responsible rehoming of dogs and cats through our adoption program. Almost Home Foundation is an all-volunteer rescue funded solely by private donations. We have NO paid employees. We rely on AHF volunteers and its board members to dedicate their time and hearts for our rescued animals until they find their forever homes. Your donations and adoption fees help us to rescue animals from high-kill shelters of all ages, breeds, and health conditions including animals that require life-saving medical costs and intensive and complex caregiving needs.


About Almost Home Foundation
Almost Home Foundation is a volunteer-run, 501(c)(3) rescue dedicated to saving stray, neglected, and abandoned dogs and cats. Since 2005, our mission has remained simple: give homeless animals a second chance and place them in safe, loving homes.
We are a no-kill rescue that prioritizes responsible placement, using temperament evaluations to ensure the right fit for every family. With the help of our foster network and supporters, we rescue animals across Illinois and from high-risk shelters in surrounding states saving pets that might otherwise be out of time.
We welcome animals of every breed, age, and health, focusing on those who need us most.
A big thank you to the Petco Foundation for their donation to Almost Home Foundation.
