Almost Home Animal Shelter's Adoptable Pets of the Week

Almost Home Animal Shelter—located at 9140-C Pennsauken Highway, in Pennsauken— serves as temporary home to many animals in the area. The shelter and its animal control operation are both supported by the Collingswood Stray Animal Organization.

From strays to new litters to rescues, the animals housed here each have a past that will shape their future. 

Would your family be the right family for one of these pets? Read each animal's story and decide for yourself. Maybe your home will be the bridge from "Almost Home" to "Home For Good."

Pauly D., Mike and Snookie's Story—

Yes, you heard correctly. A litter of kittens named entirely after the cast of the hit MTV reality show Jersey Shore. While the litter came to Almost Home as a group, most of the cast—er, cats—have found forever homes. Remaining are two boys, Pauly D. and Mike, and one girl, Snookie. Snookie's the perfect black cat—sleek, mysterious and playful, all wrapped into a loving companion. Pauly D. and Mike live true to their reality counterparts–always together, the two boys are frisky and fun-loving, curious, spontaneous and gutsy. 

Pork Roll's Story—

This loving pile of pudge is the picture of his name. The pug mix is a happy little guy whose chunky rolls will instantly make you want to pinch his cheeks. Trotting out from his kennel for a visit, Pork Roll's presence was first noticed in the form of grunting noises coming from ground level. The piggy noises belonged to Almost Home's fan favorite—Pork Roll. And the only thing better than his expressive vocals? His expressive face. An underbite that could make anyone fall instantly in love, Pork Roll's twisty tail and adorable chubbiness are as cute as a baby piglet's. And while Pork Roll's friends at Almost Home currently have him on a doggy diet, the little guy was thrilled when offered a "stay still and pose for the camera" treat. Just two snorts later, the treat was gobbled up, and Pork Roll was content. Almost Home staff suggest a laid-back family for Pork Roll, and one that will stick to a diet and exercise regimen—with the occasional treat. 

Klaus & Adolfo's Story—

This pair of brothers are under a year old, were born in the shelter and raised there. They are two of Almost Home's youngest kittens. short haired domestics, the two—who live in the same kennel—act as if they're connected at the hip bone. Adolfo is the more gentle, laid-back, mellow of the two, and prefers cat naps to cat nip. Klaus is the complete opposite—excitable, rambunctious and endlessly active. But, as they say, opposites attract, and these two live up to the expression. Their ideal home would be one willing to adopt both brothers. A perfect ying and yang, it would be a shame to see the pair's balance broken up.
