New Dogs To Rescue
We took in 2 pregnant schnauzers this weekend. These dogs came from a deplorable puppymill. The dogs were living in makeshift pens with dog houses. After 3 days of rain, they were living in standing water and mud.
This precious girl is close to delivering her puppies. She went to see Dr Anna yesterday and was diagnosed with tapeworms and is very, very thin. We purchased 2 cases of canned Chicken Soup puppy food, calcium tablets, puppy milk replacer and Chicken Soup puppy kibble for her. She needs the best nutrition that we can provide!
Momma schnauzer does not have a name yet. Do you have a name suggestion? If so, email the suggestion to almosthomesd@yahoo.com
Ester is adopted!
Remember Ester, the chihuahua from a puppymill, who was rescued last June? She came into rescue and we knew something was seriously wrong with her. When Dr. Anna did her spay surgery, she saw exactly what was wrong. Ester had a bloated up kidney that needed to be removed as soon as possible. One week later Dr. Bill Ouverson removed the kidney and Ester felt so much better. We were devastated when the lab report came in and it said that the kidney contained cancer. We took Ester to the vet 6 months following her kidney removal for an xray and were thrilled that there was no visible cancer. We took Ester to the vet last Friday for another xray. The xray showed no cancer so Ester is cancer free!
She left on Saturday for her new forever home. She will join her new mom and Cuddles, another Almost Home alumni, in Minnesota. Ester is enjoying her new adoptive mom, Cuddles, a soft dog bed and poached eggs!

Where are all the kittens?
Every spring the rescue braces itself for the inevitable "kitten season". In years past, we received calls from all over town about stray pregnant cats and kittens in need. We did all we could to rescue the homeless cats and kittens, but never had enough homes or foster homes to keep up with the need.
This spring, we have not had one call about pregnant cats or kittens in need!!!
Why would that be?
Because: Almost Home has been spaying and neutering cats and kittens by the hundreds! We have assisted cat owners with the cost of spaying and neutering their cat(s). We have also paid to have well over 100 feral and homeless cats spayed and neutered and released them back into their colonies. We make sure that the homeless cats have someone who is looking out for them, feeding them, and providing shelter. Now that these cats are spayed and neutered, they will never reproduce again.
Almost Home has made a significant difference in the stray and homeless population in Madison SD! : )
We will continue to aggressively spay and neuter animals in our area!
