CANE & CREEK - CHIHUAHUA / MIXED (SHORT COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Chihuahua / Mixed (short coat). 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. Hi… my name is Cane. I’m just a puppy—five months old and about 22 pounds—but I’ve already seen and felt things that hurt in ways I don’t really understand. I used to have a brother. We’d play all day, curl up at night with our mom, Creek, and I thought the world was safe. But one day, he was just… gone. I saw my mom cry without tears. She curled herself around me tighter than ever, like she was trying to keep my heart from breaking too. Now it’s just me and her. We ended up in this scary place with loud barks and cold floors. People say it’s a shelter. I don’t know what that means, but I know I miss the warm spot we used to sleep in. I miss feeling safe. And I know my mom does too. But we still have each other—and that means everything to me. My mom is my whole world. She checks on me, keeps me clean, and always lets me lean against her when I’m scared. I try to be brave for her. I try to make her laugh with my silly puppy hops and happy tail wags. I don’t want her to hurt anymore. They say I’m black and white, and she’s golden like sunshine, but we’re the same inside. Kind. Gentle. We walk well on a leash and like other dogs and even cats. I’m still a baby, so I’m working on being housebroken—but I’m trying really hard, and I promise I want to be a good boy. We just want someone to love. Someone who will let us be together forever. I don’t want to be without her. Ever. I’ve already lost my brother—I can’t lose my mom too. Please, if you have room in your heart and your home, take us both. There’s even a special discounted adoption fee to help make it easier. Everyone just wants us to stay together… to be happy again. We’re waiting for you. I really hope you come for us. Love, Cane & Creek *Guest Posting* *HUGE Discount for both!* *You can foster to adopt, foster or adopt!* If you would like to meet your new best friend, contact the Adoption Coordinator at infoalmosthometn or 865-236-0830. To fill out an application, go to .almosthometn. If you cannot get it to work, let us know and we will email it to you in a different format. 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.
