ROXY - CATTLE DOG / AMERICAN STAFFORDSHIRE TERRIER / MIXED (SHORT COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Cattle Dog / American Staffordshire Terrier / 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. Dear Future Family, It’s me, Roxy. I like to think of myself as a firecracker in a pocket-sized package — just one year old, 32 pounds of wiggles, kisses, and dreams. Some say I’m a Heinz 57 mix, but I say I’m made of 57 flavors of love, joy, and silliness. Once upon a time (not so long ago), I was all alone, wandering the big world with no one to claim me. I imagined I was a brave explorer, but truth be told, I was just a lonely little dog wishing for a family of my own. The days were long, the nights were colder, and my heart ached for someone to notice me. But here’s the thing about me: I never lost hope. I dreamed of a door opening, of gentle hands reaching down, of someone saying, “Roxy, you’re ours.” I'm in a foster home through the shelter. I am selective on my doggie friends or I would be just as happy being your darling baby girl. I'm very housebroken and I have good house manners. I’ve got plenty of pep in my step — zoomies, wiggles, tail wags — I’ve got them all covered. But once I’ve played my heart out, I melt into a puddle of affection. Kisses? I’ve got endless supplies. Snuggles? You bet. Hope? Always. The volunteers here tell me I’ve got a whole cheering squad. They say, “Roxy, your family is out there — we just know it!” And I believe them. Because underdogs like me… we’re meant to shine brightest when given the chance. So, if you’re searching for a pup with a big personality, a bigger heart, and enough imagination to dream us into our happily ever after — I think you’ve found her. With all my wags and kisses, Roxy *Guest Posting* 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.
