er 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,
My name is Jim Bob and I want to tell you my story.
For most of my life, I had a person who loved me deeply. We were best friends, and I knew I was safe, cared for, and home. When my owner passed away, my whole world changed. I didn’t understand why he was gone, and I fell into a deep sadness.
At first, I was scared and unsure. But then something wonderful happened — my shelter Dad from Monroe County Friends of Animals saved me. He gifted me patience, consistency, and love when I needed it most. Slowly, I began to trust again. He reminded me that there is still good in the world, and that my heart is still capable of loving a human just as deeply as before.
Now, I’m ready to start over and find my forever person. Here’s a little about me:
Jim Bob’s Best Qualities
*Great in a home with another dog
*Crate trained & housebroken
*Gentle soul who loves his ears rubbed
*Not an active dog — prefers a calm environment
*Food motivated
*Sleeps through the night (my favorite pass time)
*Likes to go outside to potty but what he enjoys most is being inside with his human
I may have known grief, but I believe joy is ahead. Maybe you’re the one I’ve been waiting for. If you’re looking for a loyal, loving companion who knows the value of home, please come meet me.
With hope,
Jim Bob
Please don’t let my story end like this. I just want to feel safe again. I just want to go home.
Love,
Jim Bob

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.
