MOMMA - PLOTT HOUND / MIXED (SHORT COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Plott Hound / 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. My name’s Momma, and if I could tell you my story, it’d start on the edge of a lake. That’s where someone left me and another dog behind, like we were just an afterthought in a world too busy to care. I remember the water lapping at the shore, the sound of birds overhead, and the hollow ache of not understanding why. I kept waiting for the sound of footsteps coming back for me. They never did. But here I am—five years old, 67 pounds of laid-back sweetness. I may not know why I was left, but I do know who I am. I’m polite. I’m calm. I’m the kind of girl who will curl up by your chair while you sip your coffee, then happily join you for a nap when the afternoon sun comes streaming in. I get excited at mealtimes—my tail thumps the floor with pure gratitude. And when I discovered the doggie door? Oh, I took to it like I’d been doing it all my life. I love little ones, I love other dogs, and most of all, I love people. I’m gentle and kind, and I give all my heart with no holding back. What I want now is simple. A home. A family. A promise that I won’t ever be tossed aside again. Because I know this much: anyone who gives me that chance will have themselves a true gem, a dog who will love them forever and never let go. Love, Momma *Guest Posting* *You can foster to adopt, foster or foster to adopt!* If you would like to meet your new best friend, contact the Adoption Coordinator at infoalmosthometn or 865-236-0830.

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.
