My story

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 Madison. I don’t really know how I ended up here—one minute I was with my litter, and now I’m in this loud place with lots of other dogs and strange smells. I’m just a baby… they say I’m a terrier-poodle mix, about 3 months old and only 7 pounds. That doesn’t feel very big when the world is so loud and confusing. Sometimes, when the people here walk by my kennel, I wag my little tail as fast as I can, hoping someone will notice me. I try to be brave, but at night when everything goes quiet, I get really scared. I miss warm laps and gentle hands. I miss falling asleep to a heartbeat, not barking and echoing walls. There’s one bright spot though—I’m not completely alone. I have a sister named Coolidge, and she helps me be just a little bit braver. She’s sweet like me, and we cuddle together and whisper puppy secrets when it’s scary. We don’t have to be adopted together, but knowing she’s here with me has made this strange place a little less lonely. But I’m still trying to be hopeful. Because I know there’s someone out there who’s meant to find me. Someone who will scoop me up and tell me I’m safe now. I’ll give them my whole heart, because that’s what puppies do. I’ll follow them around the house like a little shadow, I’ll chase toys (especially the squeaky ones!), and I’ll curl up in the tiniest ball right beside them when it’s time to nap. I just want to grow up knowing love—not fear. So if you’ve been looking for a sweet, scruffy little girl who’s still figuring it all out but has so much love to give… please come get me. My name is Madison, and I’m waiting for you. Love,Madison *Guest Posting**You can foster to adopt, foster or adopt!* 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: 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. August 3, 2025, 7:11 pm

If you have any questions or would like to adopt Madison, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
