In this week's Paws & Pals, News 12 Long Island featured four dogs up for adoption at Almost Home Animal Rescue. The shelter is on 646 Route 112 in Patchogue.

 

Snowy is a 5-year-old spayed, boxer, pit mix. She was rescued from the shelter's Training Wheels Outreach program during a snowstorm. She was frostbitten and in bad shape. She is good with most dogs and recommended for a home with children 8 and over. Snowy is not a fan of cats.

Elmo is a 2-year-old, male, neutered dobie/lab mix rescued from the streets of Thailand by the Soi Dog Foundation. He is a sweet and gentle boy, quite shy at first. He is good with other dogs, despite being a bit defensive at first and would be best placed with another dog to gain his confidence.

Dylan is a 4-year-old, male, neutered Border Collie mix rescued from the streets of Thailand by the Soi Dog Foundation. He was destined for the dog meat trade in China. He is an outgoing, social boy that is good with female dogs. He is a fun loving boy. He remains uncomfortable around some men, so he needs someone that will be patient with him while he adjusts.

Dove is a 4-year-old, female, spayed pittie. She was found, along with three of her older pups and one adult. All were emaciated, and sadly one dog starved to death. Dove was pregnant at the time of the rescue. She gave birth to 9 beautiful pups. She is an amazing girl. She needs time to get to know you. A few visits to the rescue and she will eventually become your best friend. Dove is house trained and gets along with some dogs. She will do best in a home with children 12 and older.
