Ty * URGENT! Labrador Retriever & Bloodhound Mix Doylestown, PA

Ty needs a foster home -- can you help? Please see below for more information!



Handsome Ty is a survivor in the truest sense of the word: During the recent severe flooding in Ohio, this 18-month-old Bloodhound-mix boy was trapped inside a shelter kennel when an overflowing river sent 4 feet of water rushing in. He somehow managed to escape and met the firefighters at the door, "dog-paddling" and staying afloat until they could evacuate the dogs. Ty was one of the few who made it out alive; others drowned before the firefighters could get to them :-(


Ty and the other survivors, including Newton, were moved to another shelter, where the staff promptly fell in love with him. One wrote: "Ty is one handsome dog, and he is a blast -- he loves everyone and everything, is super-gentle, and does very well with other animals and with kids. He's a social, playful boy who knows how to 'sit' and 'shake,' and seems very intelligent!" He currently tips the scales at a healthy 55 lbs., so if you're a big-dog lover, there's just enough of Ty to love!



We'd love to make Ty a member of the Almost Home family, but unfortunately all of our foster homes are currently filled :-(   However, he may be available on a "foster-to-adopt" basis, so if Ty sounds like the right pet for you, please e-mail us at AlmostHome4Dogs@yahoo.com for more information on this wonderful way to save a life! (Local adoptions preferred -- Philadelphia and tri-state area 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: 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. (Note: Please e-mail us at AlmostHome4Dogs@yahoo.com to request an adoption application.) 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 website, 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!
