Belle's Story

Hi, I'm Belle! <br/><br/>I was born on May 25th, one of six puppies in my litter. I don't remember much from those early days, except that nobody was really watching out for us. My brothers and sisters and I kept wandering into the road — it was scary, and dangerous, and we didn't know any better. Some kind neighborhood kids started keeping an eye on us, making sure we stayed safe. And then one day, a neighbor with a good heart took all of us in. I don't know where I'd be without that kindness.<br/><br/>Now let me tell you who I am, because I think I'm pretty special, in my own little way. Not only am I a pretty little girl with speckles on my feet and chest, I'm a watcher. I like to sit somewhere with a good view and take it all in — the birds, the wind in the grass, whatever's happening down the street. Nothing gets past me. I have a feeling I'd make a wonderful watchdog someday, keeping a careful eye over the people and things I love most. But don't let my quiet, watchful side fool you — the second there's a chance to play, I am pure joy on four legs. Playful, outgoing, sweet all the way through.<br/><br/>I adore my toys more than almost anything. Give me something to carry around, chew on, or toss in the air, and I am the happiest girl alive. And when playtime's over? I want nothing more than to curl up close and soak in all the attention and cuddles you'll give me. I love deeply, and I love easily, and I've got so much of it saved up just waiting for the right person.<br/><br/>My dream — my whole dream — is a home with a fenced-in yard where I can watch over my little corner of the world, play until I'm worn out, and then collapse into someone's lap for all the love and attention I could ever want.<br/><br/>I don't want to wait much longer for that dream to come true. I've already watched some of my brothers and sisters find their families, and every time, my heart gets a little more hopeful and a little more impatient. Please — if you have room for a watchful, playful, endlessly loving girl like me, I need you to find me soon.<br/>I promise I'll be worth the wait, and worth every bit of the love you give me.<br/><br/>Love,<br/>Belle <br/><br/>*Fenced in yard is required.<br/><br/>****When puppies and kittens are adopted before being fixed, they MUST be adopted in East Tennessee.<br/><br/><br/>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.<br/><br/>Unless otherwise noted, all Almost Home pets are healthy, spayed/neutered, up-to-date on vaccinations, and flea & tick preventative.

Almost Home Animal Rescue's Adoption Policy
<h3>Adopting a friend:</h3> 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. <hr> <h3>What you need to do to adopt:</h3> 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. <hr> <h3>Meet & Greets:</h3> 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.<hr> ADOPTION FEE: The adoption fee for a cat is $85.<hr> 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.<hr> The adoption fee for a dog is $200.<hr> 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.<hr> Mature pet adoption fees are sometimes reduced.<hr> 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.<hr> 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. <br><hr>
