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, I’m Jocko
My owner unfortunately cannot keep me any longer and I need a place to go ASAP!!! My human dad wasn’t so nice to my human momma and when they separated, I was left with my mom. She travels for work and cannot keep me, she is very very heartbroken.
I am a 7 year old purebred German shepherd. I am known as a gentle giant, and I love just laying around and enjoying my day with my humans. I am house trained, and good with kids, although with my age, older kids are recommended. I can’t quite keep up with the youngsters.
I have not been around cats, so I am unsure what I’d do, that being said cats are not recommended for me. I would do better with another female dog in the home, but prefer to live out my life as the only dog or with Nova, my girlfriend.
I like walks and just walking around in the yard and I listen very well. I really don’t want to leave my momma, but she said someone will love me just as much as she does. I sure hope that’s true, she REALLY loves me.
I am not neutered yet, but that will be arranged once I am in a secure home.
If you can let me live out the rest of my years sunbathing in on the porch or chilling on the couch with you, please fill out an application for me.
Love,
Jocko

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. Adoption Fee is $200.
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.
