BENTLEY - POODLE (STANDARD) / LABRADOR RETRIEVER / MIXED (MEDIUM COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Poodle (Standard) / Labrador Retriever / Mixed (medium 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 there! My name’s Bentley, and I’m a 60-pound bundle of fun, energy, and heart. I might look like a grown-up dog, but between you and me... I’m still a big ol’ puppy inside. I’m learning about this whole “being a good boy” thing, and I’m trying really hard! Before now, no one ever really taught me much, but my foster mom has been helping me learn all the important stuff — like not using my mouth when I play (I get a little too excited sometimes!) and that tennis balls are way better for chewing than hands. I’m already house trained and crate trained, and at night I sleep in my own little mudroom spot like a champ. My family asked my now foster mom to watch me and never came back for me. I couldn't believe it! Talk about heartbreak. I am very VERY lucky that my foster mom is trying to help me find a new home. I love to play and run and be silly! I did great at the dog park, but I like to keep my food to myself — so I’d do best with someone who understands how to help me with sharing and manners. I haven’t met any cats yet, but those squirrels? Eh, they don’t impress me much. I’m a happy boy, but I dream of finding that special person who really gets me — someone patient, kind, and maybe a little experienced with energetic dogs like me. I just know that with love and some training, I can be the best companion ever. I’ve got so much love to give, I just need a family who will help me figure it all out. Could that be you? Love, Bentley PS. Some of my pictures are before I had my fancy day at the groomers. 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. Unless otherwise noted, all Almost Home cats are healthy, spayed/neutered, up-to-date on vaccinations, and flea & tick preventative. 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.
