TIGGER - CHIHUAHUA / TERRIER / MIXED (SHORT COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Chihuahua / 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. Hi, I’m Tigger and I’m just a little guy with shiny black fur and a bright white chest & toes. I'm three months old and light as a feather at 7½ pounds. But inside my small chest beats a heart that believes in magic. I think about it every night when I curl up to sleep at the shelter. In my dreams, I’m not here. Instead, I’m in a warm house with soft blankets that smell like love. I hear laughter that sounds like music, and I feel gentle hands scratching behind my ears. Someone calls my name—Tigger!—like it’s the best word they’ve ever spoken. When I wake up, I’m still here… but my tail keeps wagging. Because I believe one day that dream will come true. I don’t know why I ended up in this place, but I know this: I love people with my whole little heart. I’ll follow you from room to room, sit in your lap like I was born to be there, and look at you with eyes that say thank you a thousand times over. Spoil me, love me, keep me safe, and I’ll spend forever proving you were right to choose me. Until then, I’ll keep dreaming. But maybe you’re the one who can make sure I don’t have to dream anymore. Love, Tigger *Guest Posting* *You can foster to adopt, foster or foster to adopt!* *This is a guess on his breed* 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.
