🐾💙 Meet Lalo – Loyal, Loving & Ready for His Second Chance 💙🐾 This sweet 2-year-old Staffie is looking for a fresh start and a family to call his own. Lalo was surrendered through no fault of his own after his beloved owner became critically ill. Despite this heartbreaking change, he’s remained incredibly loving, gentle, and resilient — the kind of dog who reminds you what unconditional love looks like. 💕 ✨ Why You’ll Love Lalo: • House-trained & crate-trained 🏡 • Knows all his basic commands (sit, stay, down – you name it!) • Smart, food-motivated, and eager to please 🍪 • Great with cats 🐱 • Comfortable in both active or calm homes Lalo may have some vision impairment, which can make him a bit cautious around new people, but he’s making wonderful progress with socialization. Once he trusts you, he’s your best friend for life — loyal, affectionate, and full of heart. 💛 If you’re ready to give this deserving boy a true forever home, apply to meet Lalo at almosthomeli.org. Because every dog deserves a second chance — and Lalo’s ready for his. 🐾 #almosthome #almosthomeli #adoptdontshop #animalrescue #adoptlalo #staffy #rescuedogsofinstagram #dogadoption #specialdog #rescuejourney #longislandrescue #foreverhomewanted #rescueismyfavoritebreed #secondchances (fb)

💛🐾 Thankful Thursday 🐾💛 Today, our hearts are full of gratitude — and it’s all because of YOU. We’re thankful for our incredible staff and volunteers, who work tirelessly every single day to care for our animals and bring our mission to life. Their dedication and compassion shine through at every event, fundraiser, and quiet moment spent comforting a dog or critter who needs a little extra love. We’re grateful for our community, who shows up — not just to support our fundraisers, but to share smiles, spread awareness, and celebrate second chances with us. To our donors, your generosity keeps our doors open and our rescue running. None of this would be possible without you. To our amazing fosters, thank you for opening your hearts and homes — the love and stability you give is a vital part of every animal’s journey. To our adopters, you’re the happy ending every rescue dreams of. You remind us why we do what we do every time one of our animals finds their forever home with you. And finally, we’re thankful for every animal we’ve had the privilege to save — like Blue, a sweet 1.5-year-old pup who came to us fearful and under-socialized but has blossomed in foster care with patience, love, and time. Blue is still waiting for his forever family, but because of supporters like you, he has a second chance. 💙 And we know his person is out there. You are the reason lives are saved. The reason hope continues. The reason we can keep saying yes to the ones who need us most. From all of us at Almost Home Animal Rescue & Adoption — thank you for being part of our family. ❤️ And thank you for being an integral part of every animal’s story. #ThankfulThursday #almosthome #almosthomeli #animalrescue #adoptdontshop #gratitude #rescuedogs #happytails #communitylove #fostertoadopt #foreverhome #dogsofinstagram #thankyou #supportlocalrescue (fb)
