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.
Howdy, folks!
My name’s Huckleberry, but you can call me Huck for short. I’m a six year old German Shepherd Heeler, and I’m looking for a family to go on life’s big adventure with me! I’ve got a heart full of love, a lot of loyalty to give, and a passion for fun—especially if that fun includes kids, swimming, or chasing tennis balls! You’ve got a tennis ball? Great! Toss it, and I’ll show you just how fast this Huckleberry can run! I’ve even been known to leap up to eight feet high! Yeah, I’ve got some serious hops.
Now, I’ll be honest with you—I prefer to be the only pet in the house. I like to be your one and only, and trust me, I’m worth it. With me by your side, you’ll have a loyal companion who’s always ready for the next game of fetch, a swim in the lake, or just lounging around with the family. I’m all about those belly rubs and head scratches after a good day of play.
So, if you’re looking for a fun-loving, active dog with a big heart and an even bigger personality, then look no further than this Huckleberry! I’m ready to be your one and only, and I promise to fill your days with joy, loyalty, and plenty of tennis ball action.
Let’s start our adventure together—what do you say?
With love and a wagging tail, Huckleberry

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.
