Please contact Judy (paxtonj@live.com), (865) 300-8146 for more information about this pet.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.
Bud
Hi, I’m Buddy!
I’m a 64 lb., 4-year-old Australian Shepherd and Great Pyrenees mix, and I’ve got to say, I’m quite the handsome, fluffy guy! I used to have my dream home—full of love, laughter, and snuggles. But recently, something changed. One of my parents unexpectedly passed away, and now, well, I’m alone... a lot. It’s been tough, and as much as I try to stay strong, it’s hard not having someone around to brush my fur, give me those awesome belly rubs, or just hang out with me during the day.
You see, I’m a gentle, sweet, big boy, and all I want is to be part of a family again. I miss being around people who understand me, who can give me the attention I’m used to. I’m super friendly, always happy to meet new friends—both humans and animals. Oh, and cats? No problem! I’ve got a cool cat friend, and we get along just fine.
I’m great in the house, too! You won’t have to worry about me making a mess. I love a good bath and brushing session (seriously, I look so good afterward), and snuggling up on the couch is kind of my specialty. I’m also a pretty smart cookie! I learn fast and am always eager to make my humans happy.
There’s just one little thing: some really young kids make me a bit nervous. I’m much more comfortable around older children who understand that I need my space sometimes. But I’m not picky about much else—I’m just looking for a family that will love me and spend time with me, like I’m used to.
Oh, and a fenced yard would be amazing! I love having room to explore and stretch my legs safely. I’m in good health, fully vetted, and even microchipped, so I’m ready to go!
If you think we could be a great match, I can’t wait to meet you. Let’s start this new chapter together!
Love,
Buddy
If you can give Buddy the forever home that will continue his wonderful life, please contact Judy at Judy@almosthometn.org, 865-300-8146. Adoption fee is $150.
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.
