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.
Hello!
I'm Nia. I am a four year old husky mix that is gorgeous with my white fringe and black tongue. I am fully vetted and current on heartworm & flea/tick prevention.
I was rescued from a shelter. They said all the wrong things about me. They even said that I was a boy! Nothing was right. Luckily, someone was sent from the stars above and was looking out for me. Now, I just need my home!
I love to play and will play some fetch too! I have ample energy and l enjoy my walks. I will make a fabulous jogging or hiking buddy! I also adore squeaky toys, nylabones and tug toys. I would definitely want a fenced in yard so that I can run, play and hide my squeaky toys that I sometimes de-squeak...oops!
I do have a strong prey drive and will chase cats. I will dart after any small mammal that I believe is prey. Sorry, I just can't help it! I do well with boy dogs but I am not interested in any other female dogs in my world. I do well with a four foot chain link fence and I would benefit greatly from a house with a yard since I love to run!
I am learning some basic commands and manners. I am slow to warm up to men but I trust women quickly. Given the right personality and time, I could have a male owner.
I am looking for my forever home where I can flourish! I'm SO ready to adore and love you!!! Come and adopt me soon. I'm waiting every so patiently.
Love,
Nia

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.
