ZION - STAFFORDSHIRE BULL TERRIER (SHORT COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Posted 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. Greetings! My name is Zion, I am a big loving Staffordshire terrier. I was rescued from a kill shelter just in time! I'm looking for a home where someone will be patient but firm so I can learn more. I don't know many of just the basics but I'm a fast learned. I've never really been given a fair shake. My mommy isn't sure if I'm housebroken or not but I'm willing to learn if I'm not. I really am a loving boy. My foster mom has been treating me for heartworms. I really just need to be sure that I get the monthly treatments at this point. I like other dogs and love people as well. I do have anxiety that I'm on meds for from everything I've been through but a doggie friend would really help that. I am very strong but am gentle at the same time. I really enjoy being outside, so I a fenced in yard is a must! Is there anyone out there who will make me a part of there family forever. I am praying there is. Love, Zion *Guest Posting **I'm not fixed yet but will be before adoption 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.
