Story
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 Flossy! 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 and sisters and I kept wandering into the road — again and again, not knowing any better. 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 that I'm safe, let me tell you who I really am — because I've got a lot of personality packed into this little body! I'm playful, I'm smart, and I am endlessly curious. If something's happening anywhere nearby, I want to know about it. A rustling leaf, a new smell, a sound across the yard — I'm on the case. Nothing gets past me.Actually, let me prove just how smart I am: I figured out how to tilt the floor fan with my own foot so it points directly at me and nobody else. No one taught me that. I just watched, thought about it, and made it happen. I'm not just curious about the world — I like to bend it a little to my liking when I can.I've got energy for days, so I need a home with a fenced-in yard where I can run, zoom, and play to my heart's content. Give me a toy and I am in heaven — I could play for hours. But after a good romp, there's nothing better than flopping down in front of a fan (aimed just right, of course) and drifting off into the best nap of my life. A girl's gotta recharge somehow!My brother Boscoe already found his forever family, and I've watched him get his happy ending from afar. Now it's my turn, and I don't want to wait much longer. I may be small, but I've got a huge heart, a clever mind, and a whole lot of love ready to give the right family.If you've got a fenced yard, a love for toys, and room in your heart for a smart, curious, wonderfully mischievous girl like me, please don't wait — I'd love to meet you.Love,Flossy *Fenced in yard is required****When puppies and kittens are adopted before being fixed, they MUST be adopted in East Tennessee.If you would like to meet your new best friend, contact the Adoption Coordinator at info@almosthometn.org or 865-236-0830. To fill out an application, go to www.almosthometn.org. 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 pets 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.
