CASH - TERRIER / CHIHUAHUA / MIXED (LONG COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Terrier / Chihuahua / Mixed (long coat). Please contact Judy (paxtonjlive), (865) 300-8146 for more information about this pet. 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. Cash is an 8-year-old terrier and chihuahua mix. He weighs about 10 lbs. Due to his owner dad’s health issues, he needs a new forever home. They think he would do best in a household without other dogs with strong personalities or children since he is a resource guarder. He may bite if you threaten his resources by coming too close to them and he tends to guard a 10-foot radius around his food and toys. This is a behavior that can be corrected with training and patience. Yes, older dogs can learn new tricks. Almost Home Animal Rescue can help with that. His owners say he is very mellow otherwise and keeps to himself a lot, but he does like to lay in their laps when they are sitting on the couch. As you can see in his pictures, he is a cutie and charms most people when they visit. He loves to play with squeaky toys and run around the yard - he is fast and agile! Cash will obey basic commands, never has bathroom accidents, and adapts to routines. He is good on a leash. Riding in a car makes him a little nervous. He is neutered and up to date on vetting. Adorable Cash needs a family who will love him forever, and work with him on his resource guarding issues. If that is you, please contact Judy at judyalmosthometn or 865-300-8146. This is a guest posting. Almost Home Animal Rescue is helping his family find him a great new home. ADOPTION FEE: The adoption fee for a cat is $85. The adoption fee for a kitten is $100.

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.
