Can’t Adopt? You Can Help by Sponsoring a Rescue Dog in Training

Rescue dogs from Almost Home receive training and socialization classes from the Better Life Canine Center and the Detroit Dog Trainer. If you’re unable to adopt consider sponsoring their training.

Almost Home currently had 14 dogs enrolled in the training program and their goal is to raise $100 per dog. If they exceed their goal they’ll be able to add more deserving dogs to the training classes.
