1. Cody
Meet Cody!! This 30-pound lovable fellow is about 6 months old and is a sweet mix of heeler and maybe a sprinkling of beagle. He keeps himself busy--inside, following the Swiffer is a very popular activity; outside, collecting sticks is a must-do. He loves playing with the resident dogs and exploring the fenced-in yard--after all, leaves are just asking to be pounced on and plants that haven't been cut back yet are perfect places for afternoon naps. He enjoys his walks around the neighborhood and seeing birds of all sizes adds to the fun. He loves snuggling on a favorite lounge chair--as long as a foster family member provides a warm lap and blanket--plus the gentle rocking brings the final dose of comfy and eyes closed.
Read more about Cody
His foster family has been very diligent about getting him out and about for potty breaks and he is getting very good grades.
Cody is micro-chipped, neutered, and is up-to-date on all his age-appropriate vaccinations. He is ready for his next adventure--and maybe that might include you! Please email us at

3. Gunner
Looking for a foster and / or adopter.
Gunner is a 5 year old scruffy terrier / hound mix who weighs just under 50 lbs. Gunner landed in the shelter after having a home so he already has the hang of a number of things, Sadly, his owner fell ill and had to be hospitalized indefinitely.
Read more about Gunner
Gunner enjoys riding in the car and going for walks! He likes to follow his nose so he pulls some with just a collar, but is quite manageable with a chest-leading harness. This guy does not like crates but that is not an issue because he is already house trained. Gunner is comfortable in a home and has no issues exploring all floors of the house, so steps are not a problem. He is a cuddly guy who enjoys a dog bed and the opportunity to cuddle with people on the couch,
Gunner was an only dog but has been friendly to other dogs in the shelter and foster home. He could go with or without a dog companion. We do not have information on Gunner and cats. We would recommend Gunner be in a home more on the quiet side since that's what he was used to (no little kiddos)
If you are interested in this adorable scruffy guy, pleases email us at AlmostHome4Dogs@yahoo.com.

6. Odie
Good things don't ALWAYS come in small packages. Meet Odie, a 69 pound yellow lab/ hound mix who sports white leggings and an ever-wagging tail. Just like Garfield's doggy buddy in the comic strip, this Odie is super loveable, good natured, friendly, silly, loyal, fun-loving, and sometimes a bit goofy. At just shy of 2 years old, he is quite an athlete--is that Odie standing on top to the picnic table?? In his quieter moments, Odie is a sun-worshipper who enjoys bird and squirrel watching while relaxing outside and TRIES to be a lap dog inside.
Having him close by in the yard helps his foster mom's weeding chores seem pleasant--well, almost!
Read more about Odie
His foster family laughs when Odie is in the kitchen and he stares out the window--they just aren't quite sure what is grabbing his attention! Odie is house-and crate-trained, micro-chipped, neutered, and up-to-date on all his vaccinations. He gets along with all the other dogs who live with his foster family--especially the other foster dog Danny who is a favorite playmate. Odie's bags are packed (yep--with an Eagles logo) and he is ready to settle in with a forever family who can't wait to spend fall with a new buddy.

7. Gracie
Gracie’s life would make anyone who loves dogs cry. She was used as a breeding dog snd had 3 litters til she was no use to the breeder. The best news, he allowed our rescue to take custody of her to ensure that she has an awesome life going forward. We placed two of her puppies in wonderful homes snd now it is her time. She is current on all vaccines and is extremely shy. She will need a family to provide love and patience. She is starting to come out of her shell but loud noises frighten her. Gracie is 3 years old and a golden doodle. Our team is working on her leash manners and showing her basic commands. Slow and steady is what we prescribe. Interested?

8. Brutus
interested please complete Three weeks ago, our transport was leading on 23 East when the driver saw a dog in the middle of the road with no collar. There were a lot of cars, it was dark and our Team was worried he would get hit. When called he jumped in the van. The team went around the houses near the location and no one knew his story or where he came from. He was checked gor a chip snd every effort was exhausted looking for his family. Brutus is current on all his vaccines. He is heartworm negative and he will be neutered before adoption is final. He is a strong, muscular boy but he loves people. We are looking for an active family with no young children. He loves playing in the yard but we have not tested him with other dogs.

Shadow is the smallest pup from her litter, but she holds a special place in our hearts. She is a sweet little girl who loves pets and affection. She's silly and playful and absolutely wonderful!

Meet Lovey!
This adorable puppy wants nothing more than to find a family all her own. She will melt into you for pets and affection. She and her sister, Valentine, were abandoned when they were very young. We promised them we would find homes where they would be loved and cherished for the rest of their lives.
Lovey is a very smart girl, true to her breed. She's great with a sit and makes good eye contact during walks; she's learning basic commands and how to take treats gently. Like any young pup, she loves to play and is her best self when she gets proper exercise. We think she'd do best in a home without young children and other animals.

14. Tilly
Little Tilly has had a rough go recently and is looking for the perfect forever home. Despite sustaining life threatening injuries from being attacked by another dog in the home, she gets along really well with all dogs and people she meets.
While on the small side, she is all Boston Terrier. She loves to thrash her toys around, play a vigorous game of tug-o-war, and chew. Her favorite pastime is keeping the local squirrels in check.
Read more about Tilly
She needs a terrier savvy home with a fenced area to run and would do best with another dog(s) that is close to her size & likes to play a little rough. Not recommended for small children - she is mouthy and will accidentally nip a finger while playing. She’s working on this & is very responsive to being told no. It’s just hard when playing with fun toys.
Due to the trauma she’s been through, she is relearning potty training. She’s improving daily & usually lets her foster mom know when she needs to go out. She just needs consistency. Tilly is still a little scared of the dog door, but is starting to copy the other pups in the house. She LOVES to be out in the yard, but is scared to leave the gate or go on walks. She’ll need a human who will work with her on regaining confidence. She is crate trained, but is also good alone in the house for a short period (she will relocate your shoes though bc she wants to be near your scent).
She’s the cutest little gremlin that will make a Boston Terrier lover very, very happy. In between bursts of energy, she wants to snuggle - preferably on a pillow right next to you.

Bio
Nala is a sweet little dumpling full of love who was slated for euthanasia at Trenton Animal Shelter before she was rescued. Now that she’s taken some time to decompress from the shelter, she’s ready to find a furever home where she can feel safe and put a difficult past behind her. Nala can take some time to trust new people, but once she bonds she’s as affectionate and as loyal as they come. She loves attention, and will gladly let you know when she needs some TLC, whether that’s by rolling over for belly rubs the moment you enter the room or sticking her big head in your lap and staring at you with her soulful eyes until you give her some scratches.
Once she’s settled in, Nala is happy to live a calm, quiet life. She likes a little excitement in her day, whether that’s playing with squeaky toys, chewing on a good stick, going for short walks, jumping in the car with you, or some occasional zoomies in the yard. But for most of her day she’s content just to lie down by your feet and know that she’s safe.
Nala has made a lot of progress improving her manners, and needs a home where she can continue to work on improving these skills. Fortunately, she’s a quick learner, very food-motivated, eager to please, and she even takes her treats very gently! She already knows sit, lie down, stay, come, touch, and paw, and she’s capable of learning much more.
Nala has had a lot of homes in her three years, and that’s left her with some separation anxiety. Once she’s bonded, she’ll follow her people from room to room like it’s her job, keeping an eye on you to make sure you’re safe. Fortunately, she clocks out in the evenings and will happily run straight to her crate when it’s time for bed. She’s gotten much better at being alone during the days, and if people are coming over and she needs to be out of the way she can stay by herself in another room with only the occa

Baby Girl is a total lovebug. She wants to be where you are but can also hang out in her crate alone. This girl was in an overcrowded shelter for over two months. ABR stepped in on the last day before she was put down because the shelter was out of space. She was so skinny and starved for attention but all that has changed now. She is gaining weight and loving her new home life.
Baby Girl plays well with toys and likes to play ball in the yard. She has a medium to high prey drive so a fenced yard is a must (we can’t have her sprinting off after a squirrel ). She is house trained but will get into things if left unsupervised (you would too if you had been a bag of bones not knowing when or if your next meal was coming). Fortunately, she is also crate trained so keeping her safe when we aren’t home is easy.
She would be great as an only dog but could also go with a laid back male.

Meet Shamrock, a 5-month-old Pit Terrier mix who decided his first big adventure should be an unexpected solo trip around the Maplesville area. Unfortunately, no one came looking for this handsome little guy. But Shamrock isn’t letting that keep him down! He has officially moved on to Plan B: find himself a forever family who thinks he’s pretty darn awesome. Now, we should probably mention that Shamrock can be a tiny bit unsure when something new comes his way. But honestly? This kid is a BRAVE little explorer! Give him a minute to investigate, sniff around, and decide that whatever looked scary two seconds ago is actually pretty interesting. And people? He LOVES them. He wants to be where the action is, see what everyone is doing, and soak up all the attention he can get. At just 5 months old, Shamrock is right in the middle of one of the most important learning stages of his life. He should be busy discovering the world, learning puppy manners, experiencing new things, and figuring out how amazing life can be, not spending his puppyhood behind kennel bars. This boy has SO much potential. He just needs someone willing to be his teacher, cheerleader, adventure buddy, and forever person. Shamrock may not have had the best luck so far… but maybe his luck is about to change! Will you be the one to change it? (9/13/26 Hope)

How to adopt from Pooch Kaboose
Loyal and loving, dogs are social animals who thrive on being upstanding members of their families. Caring for a companion animal goes far beyond providing food, water and shelter. It takes research and careful planning to bring the right pet into your home, and to make sure your lifestyle is the right one for your pet. If there are young children in your home, a puppy may not be your best bet. You may want to consider adopting a medium-sized dog over five months of age. It is a good idea to draw up a schedule of who in the family will help with the care of your new dog, including walking, playing, feeding and grooming. Don’t forget to have your new friend spayed or neutered. Please fill out the required adoption form.
Adopting a dog in Perkasie
Most rescues ask you to fill in an application, meet the dog, and pay an adoption fee that usually covers spaying or neutering, vaccinations and a microchip. Many are foster-based, so you'll often meet your dog in a volunteer's home rather than a shelter.
Senior dogs are often the calmest companions and the slowest to find homes. If you'd like a settled, affectionate dog, ask the rescues about their older residents.
Puppies go quickly, so if you've fallen for one, contact the rescue soon. Ask how big they're expected to grow, and plan for plenty of house-training and training in the first few months.
