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 Gypsy. I am a 10 month old Great Dane. My mommy purchased my brother and I from a breeder. She thought she was doing a good thing by taking us both, but we ended up not liking each other.
We developed something called “littermate syndrome” and unfortunately, we need to be in separate homes. I get along great with ALL dogs, big and small. I love cats, and kids too! My brother and I just do not get along much anymore.
I would love to find a new home where I can have tons of attention and love, I bark a lot at first when strangers come in, but once I have smelled them, and realized they are good people, I snuggle in their laps!
I am fully crate trained, fully potty trained, and had all of my vaccines, including my rabies. I am microchipped to my current owner, but we can have that switched to your name if you choose to adopt me!
I am not old enough to be spayed. I need to be 18 months old. I am required to be spayed and will have a contract stating you will do so.
If you think I could be your new gentle giant please let my people know!
Love,
Gypsy

If you would like to meet your new best friend, contact the Adoption Coordinator at 865-236-0830. Please fill out an application on www.almosthometn.org. If you can't get it to work, let us know and we will email it to you in a different format. Adoption Fee $500
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.
