ome 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. Hello! I'm Buddy. I'm a sweet boy was found walking along a dark, busy road early one rainy morning. I came right up to his rescuer and looked relieved to be safe and dry in a vehicle. This boy is no dummy! My poor nails were completely overgrown along with the fur on my paws. My coat was full of matted fur. It was so bad he appeared to have two tails! It was SO uncomfortable! After an amazing warm bath and some trimming I started to look like my handsome self. My rescuer thinks that I am around five to seven years old and my breed is a guess. I am very smart and I know many commands. I sit, lay down and come when called. I learn very quickly and I even know how to use a doggie door. I sleep in my crate during the night without a fuss. Of course, I am house trained and I ask to go out when needed. I enjoy being petted and being cuddled. I like to run in the backyard and I'm learning how to play fetch! Car rides are fabulous and I sit nicely while looking around. I am currently being fostered in a home with two other large male dogs and I get along just fine with them. I've also been around small dogs and respect their space. I'm even great with kids. I absolutely love my foster family but I am ready to find his forever home. Love, Buddy *Guest Posting *I am a VERY slight heatworm positive but I come meds. If you would like to meet your new best friend, contact the Adoption Coordinator at infoalmosthometn or 865-236-0830.

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.
