BOSCOE - UP & COMING - STAFFORDSHIRE BULL TERRIER (SHORT COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Staffordshire Bull Terrier (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. UP & COMING! Hi, I'm Boscoe! I was born on May 25th, one of six puppies in my litter. Life didn't start out easy for us. Nobody in our family really watched out for us, and my brothers, sisters, and I kept wandering into the road — again and again, not knowing any better. It was scary. But some good-hearted neighborhood kids started looking out for us, keeping us safe, until a kind neighbor finally took our whole litter in. I don't know where any of us would be without that kindness. Now, let me tell you a little about myself, because I've got a lot going on. I'm the biggest of my litter mates — solid, muscular, built like I mean business. But don't let all that muscle fool you. Underneath it, I've got one of the sweetest hearts you'll ever meet. I'm always watching out for my brothers and sisters, making sure everyone's okay, like it's just my job. I guess that makes me a bit of a leader — and honestly, I wear that title proudly. I'm an active little guy with a whole lot of energy to burn. Give me a game of tug-of-war and a squeaky toy and I am the happiest pup in the world. I run, I play hard, and then I flop right down for a good nap like I earned it — because I did. Here's the thing, though: I'm going to grow into a big dog. A really big, sweet dog. So I need a home with room to match my personality — space to run, space to play, and plenty of room for all this energy and love I've got to give. I'm even almost house broken! I know I'm going to be somebody's best friend. I've already got the leadership, the loyalty, and the love figured out — I just need the right family to grow into it all with. If you've got the space and the heart for a fantastic puppy who's going to become an even more fantastic companion, I'd love to meet you. Love, Boscoe ****When puppies and kittens are adopted before being fixed, they MUST be adopted in East Tennessee.

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.
