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.  Hi! My name is Yukon and I’m in desperate need of a loving home! I’m about three to five years old with a heart full of energy and love, just waiting to find the perfect family. I absolutely adore kids—running, playing, and getting all the belly rubs are my favorite things in the world! If you’ve got a yard or love going for long walks, I’ll be right there beside you, ready to run, jump, and enjoy every moment. I’m an active girl who would thrive in a home where playtime and fun are part of everyday life. There’s one small thing you should know: I’m not the best around chickens. For some reason, they just get me all worked up, so a chicken-free home would be the best place for me. My situation has become urgent. The shelter in our area had to close down after the director was fired, leaving us and many other animals in a state of emergency. Thankfully, a kind lady is letting the community use her property as a temporary refuge, but I can’t stay here forever. I need a safe, permanent home where I can continue to thrive and love my humans. If you’re looking for a loyal, playful, and loving dog (or two), I’m your girl. I promise to fill your days with joy, laughter, and so much love. Please, if you can help me in this time of need, reach out. I’m ready to find my forever family and start the next chapter of my life. With love and paws,Yukon *Guest Posting   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 can't get it to work, tell us and we will email it to you. Adoption fee $150ADOPTION 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. March 8, 2026, 6:30 am

Story
Well, we thought Milo Lancaster was a Boston terrier mix and that's what the shelter thought also. But we did a DNA test o him and turns out he is an American Staffordshire and American pittie mix. He only weighs 44 lb and is 3 years old. He is black & white with some brindle. He is high energy and has lots of love. . He recently spent a day with a trainer. Here are her comments: Milo rode extremely well in the car and was calm and comfortable during the ride. Once we arrived at the property, he was confident, excited, and ready to explore. He walks very nicely on a leash and was easy to handle throughout the entire walk. He enjoyed checking out his surroundings and even confidently explored the watering hole and went into the water. Milo knows sit and is very eager to please. He is attentive to his handler and appears very willing to learn, which should make continued training enjoyable and rewarding. We also introduced Milo to cats. He showed absolutely no reaction or interest in them, even when given the opportunity to observe them closely. Based on his behavior during the evaluation, we feel he could comfortably be placed in a home with cats. Milo is also fantastic with other dogs of various sizes. He enjoys interacting and playing with them and would do very well in a home with other dogs. The biggest area where Milo will need patience and confidence building is living inside a home. As we approached and entered the house, Milo became increasingly uncomfortable. Normal household noises and unfamiliar indoor surroundings made him jumpy and visibly stressed.  Once Milo was placed in a crate, however, there was an immediate difference. He was very comfortable in the crate, settled easily, and remained quiet. He appears to be completely crate trained and views his crate as a safe and familiar space. Overall, Milo has a tremendous amount of potential. He is confident outdoors, wonderful on leash, rides beautifully in the car, is eager to please, loves other dogs, and showed no concerning behavior toward cats. His ideal adopter will simply need to be willing to give him the time and patience he needs to adjust. With a patient person who allows him to build confidence at his own pace, Milo has all the qualities needed to become a wonderful family companion.
