Gunnar's Story

Hi! <br/><br/>I am your future best friend and cuddle buddy! I’m Gunnar, a 6-year-old terrier mix with a good sprinkle of Chihuahua, Lab, and maybe a few other breeds, according to my DNA test. At around 35 pounds, I’m a healthy and athletic little guy, ready to bring a lot of joy and laughter into your life.<br/><br/>I’m a friendly fellow who gets along great with other dogs. I might be a bit nippy at times—guess that herder dog instinct in me comes out—but don’t worry, I’m not aggressive and I definitely don’t bite. I’ve been working hard on this and I’m improving every day. I’m super intelligent and eager to please, so if you guide me, I’ll be a model companion.<br/><br/>I’m a bit of a chatterbox and love to nibble on your ears—it tickles! My favorite way to show affection is with my funny face: I’ll curl up my lips in a playful growl while wagging my whole body and giving you the sweetest squinty-eyed smile. It’s pretty hard not to laugh around me!<br/><br/>When it comes to cuddles, I’m a true velcro dog. I can’t get close enough to you, so be prepared for some serious snuggling. I share my foster home with Bruce (also looking for his forever home) and we have an absolute blast running and playing together. I get along with him and all the other dogs, even the older ones who might growl at me—I’m respectful and back off when needed.<br/><br/>I may be a little shy at first, but I warm up quickly to new people. I promise, with a little time, you’ll see my affectionate and playful side shine through. I’m up-to-date on my vetting, crate trained, and housetrained. I know basic commands and am very well-behaved. I prefer to sleep on the bed with you, snuggled close, but I’m also fine with other dogs joining us.<br/><br/>I’m great on the leash and in the car, so we can go on all sorts of adventures together. I'd be great with a couple of older kids. If you’re looking for a loving, playful, and incredibly cuddly companion, I might just be your perfect match. Let’s meet soon—I can’t wait to find my forever home with you!<br/><br/>With love and wagging tails, <br/>Gunnar<br/><br/><br/>If you would like more information on Gunnar or would like to adopt him, please contact Judy at judy@almosthometn.org or 865-300-8146. Adoption fee is $150.<br/><br/>Adoption process includes a contract, home visit, and one-week trial period.

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>
