ive 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.
They called me Licorice, maybe because of my dark coat, maybe because of my sweet nature. Either way, I always thought my name meant I belonged to someone. I thought love was forever, but forever ended too soon. First, Daddy was gone. Then, the woman we trusted to keep us safe—me, Tonka, and Minnie—turned away without a backward glance. One moment we were family, the next we were left behind at the shelter, our hearts heavy with confusion.
I’m a two year old, 70 pounds of Border Collie/Terrier mix, but don’t let my size fool you—inside, I’m just a girl longing to curl up next to someone who promises not to leave. I’m housebroken, crate trained, and a dream on a leash. I love kids, I love other dogs, and I love being wherever you are. Some days, I imagine us setting off together to explore the world; other days, I picture myself stretched across the couch, content just to be close.
All I’ve ever wanted is what every dog dreams of—a forever hand to hold, a heart that won’t give up on me. I’ve lost so much, but I’m ready to give my whole heart again. Please, let me belong to you.
Love,
Licorice

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.
