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.
Hi there… I’m Blitz. And I need you to hear me—really hear me—because time is running out.
I’m a three year old white German Shepherd/Husky mix, but more importantly, I’m your best friend waiting to be found. I know we haven’t met yet… but I already know how I’ll look at you with my big, trusting eyes when you come home. I’ll be your calm after a storm, your quiet shadow on a long walk, your warm heartbeat curled up at your feet.
I love people—honestly, I think you're all kind of magical. I don’t just wag my tail when I meet someone—I offer my whole soul. I bond deeply, quietly, forever. And when I meet other dogs on a walk, I greet them enthusiastically! I feel the world’s okay.
I’m very good on a leash (seriously, you’ll be impressed), and I walk right into my crate without a fuss, though I’d much rather be beside you. I don't need wild adventures but I'm down for it if you are —I just want peaceful strolls, a soft place to rest, and a person to love me back as much as I’ll love them.
But here’s the hard truth: I’m almost out of time.
I don’t deserve the clock that’s ticking over my head. I’ve done everything right. I’ve waited patiently. I’ve been gentle and loyal and hopeful. But still… no one has come. And now, my time is measured in days.
Please. If you’re looking for a devoted companion with a heart as big as my paws, don’t wait. I need you now.
Come find me. Let me be your Blitz—your bolt of light in a quiet life, your reason to come home smiling.
I'm ready to give you everything. I just need the chance.
Love,
Blitz

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.
