Description:
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. *Due to rescuer being very ill, all her dogs are in desperate need!!! Ready for a story that’ll really pull at your heart strings? Spade is a year old short haired fox terrier (45-50 lbs/medium-large) who LOVES to be the star of the show. His drive to be active would put the energizer bunny to shame. He sincerely enjoys his snuggles and face scratches but if you’re looking for an active and fun dog to exercise with you, Spade is your guy! He LOVES water. Sometimes he even plays in his water bucket, we swore we wouldn’t tell but how cute is that? Spade wants to be your only pet. We do know that he needs to be in a home with older kids (15+) due to his nibbly behavior when he is overstimulated and overexcited. He is learning quickly not to jump up to greet people. He is really showing how smart he can be and how quickly he can pick up on things. Spade would like us to mention that he loves peanut butter and playing in the water! Spade was rescued from an animal control facility in Tennessee by some well-intentioned rescue community members after the facility actively refused to give him treatment for parvovirus. Parvovirus is one of the most deadly diseases a dog of his age can get. Unfortunately, those rescuers realized that his energy level was too much for them, so he was dropped at another rescue facility where he awaits his forever home. To be understood is all that Spade needs in life. It can be hard to place a dog like him, but we know that there are some truly good people that can appreciate a good challenge! *Guest Posting If you would like to meet your new best friend, contact the Adoption Coordinator at [email protected] or 865-236-0830. To fill out an application, go to www.almosthometn.org. If you can't get it to work, let us know and we will send it to you in a different format. Adoption fee $150.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.
