Description:

Please contact Judy ([email protected]), (865) 300-8146 for more information about this pet.Almost Home believes that every animal deserves a loving home regardless of appearance, age, or physical limitation. We have come together to give animals in need the safe and happy life they all deserve. Almost Home Animal Rescue believes that no animal is expendable. Adopting a friend:The animals, lucky enough to find refuge with Almost Home, are all in loving foster homes. If you are interested in the possibility of giving one of the animals a new lease on life, please contact us. The contact information is listed at the end of each biography. What you need to do to adopt:If you would like to adopt a pet in need from Almost Home, basically, an application must be filled out. We will check two personal references and a vet reference. If you are approved for adoption, there is a trial period of about one week to make sure this is the animal for you and you are the person for the animal. Along with the trial period, a contract must be signed that basically states that if ever you cannot keep the animal that you must return the animal to Almost Home. Last but not least, a home check will be done. Meet & Greets:An approved application is required. This does not mean that you have to adopt but that you are approved to do so if everything works out. Since we are foster based, this limits the amount of people coming to our homes. Lexi is a gorgeous two-year-old husky mix with one blue eye. Her elderly owner must give her up because Lexi recently became food aggressive and more alpha with the other dog. No blood has been spilt. This behavior can be delt with by training. It is not unusual to see this alpha behavior around age two. Both dogs are now crated in different rooms and go outside separately. This is a difficult situation for the elderly owner and she must find a new home for her ASAP. Until this behavior is trained out of her, Lexi will do best as the only dog or with a male dog her size or larger. A larger female might work, too. She is a very sweet and well-behaved girl. She knows basic commands and loves people. She needs a home with someone who will appreciate all these good qualities and work with her to make sure she learns better manners. An active person who will take her on rides in the car and on long walks will be a plus. Fenced in yard for running needed. Lexi is spayed, up-to-date on shots, and micro-chipped. Adoption fee is $100. Contact Judy at [email protected] or 865-300-8146 if you would like to foster or give Lexi a great new home. Guest posting by JP Nov. 28, 2023.ADOPTION FEE: The adoption fee for a cat is $85. The adoption fee for a kitten is $100. The adoption fee does include the kittens being fixed and their rabies shot when they are old enough through one of our local vets. The adoption fee for a dog is $200. The adoption fee for a puppy is $250. The adoption fee does include the puppies being fixed and their rabies shot when they are old enough through one of our local vets. Mature pet adoption fees are sometimes reduced. The adoption fee for pure bred dogs and cats will vary due to health and age of pet. This helps support our ill animals and our mutts that get left in the system longer. We do reserve the right to change the fees higher or lower due to the circumstance of the animal but what was stated above are the usual adoption fees. Microchipped pets will have a higher adoption fee. Our adoption fees do not cover the cost of the vetting and care the animal has received with us and if it ever does, the money just goes back it to helping other animals in need.
