About

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 Harley I'm 4 years old, and I never thought I'd be the one looking for a new family. But here I am, and I'm hoping you'll take a moment to get to know me. The truth is, my best friend in the house is getting older, and it's harder for him to get around these days. I'm still young and full of energy, and I think that energy just wears on him now — he doesn't have the patience for me the way he used to, and honestly, I understand. He deserves peace and quiet in his golden years, and I deserve a home where I can be my playful self without stressing him out. It's nobody's fault. It's just what happens when a young pup and an old soul try to share a space that's gotten too small for both of us. We used to have a big fenced in yard but now we don't and this space is just too small. What I do know is how to love. I'm a total cuddler — I sleep pressed right up against my person most nights, like I just want to be as close as possible. I walk nicely on a leash, I light up for car rides, and there's nothing I love more than a good hike with someone by my side. A fenced in yard to run and play in is a must! I think what I want most, more than anything, is just to belong somewhere again — somewhere I can run and play without anyone getting tired of me. I should be honest about everything, because I want my next family to really know me. My skin can be sensitive — grass, bugs, the changing seasons, all of it can set me off, and I can't have chicken. I've found that lamb-based food helps me feel my best, and right now I eat Pure Balance Lamb, Pea & Rice. I get a Cytopoint allergy shot every 4 to 8 weeks. Every once in a while, my skin or ears might flare up. I'm spayed and fully up to date on my shots. I want to be somebody's whole world again. I know I can be given a chance. If that could be you, please reach out. I'd love the chance to show you how much love I have to give. Love, Harley *GUEST POSTING* If you would like to meet your new best friend(s), 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: 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.
