Kittens! Kittens! Kittens!  April through October is kitten season at shelters And Almost Home has several kittens looking for owners. 

July and August are the busiest times for kittens. There are kittens of all colors and ages and they all need forever homes. There are so many kittens during a season that sometimes they don't get adopted and they end up growing up in the shelter.  If you are considering adding a new kitten (or two) or a purrfectly beautiful adult cat, please stop in and meet some of our very special residents. Now, through September 1, kittens and adults are $25.

Thelma is a 7-8 year old female Pomeranian - but don't let her age fool you.  She is full of spunk!  Thelma is a social little dog who loves to go for a walk.  Thelma would make a great companion in a home with adults or a home with children over 12 (little children tend to want to pick her up and squeeze her and she doesn't like that). Thelma loves to sit on your lap and cuddle too.  Please stop in and meet Thelma soon. 

Mocha is a 10-month-old boxer mix full of puppy energy (but not hyper!) and ready to play.  Mocha walks well on her leash and loves going for long walks and wouldn't even mind a little jogging.  Almost Home’s dog trainer has worked with Mocha and she does have some basic training which can be reinforced once she is in her new home.  Mocha is good with other dogs and cats too. Stop in and meet Mocha soon!

Our Mission
Almost Home Animal Shelter and Adoption Center is an animal welfare organization established to support animal care and control for local municipalities, as well as promoting the human/companion animal bond. We are dedicated to creating programs and services which will educate the public, with regard to compassion, responsibility and respect toward all animals, through advocacy, spay/neuter and adoption.

Adoption Policy and Procedure
If you are interested in adopting a dog/puppy or cat/kitten, we require that you follow our adoption procedure:

Come in and look through our adoptable pets. We have a trained staff, as well as matchmaking volunteers, that will help find the right match for your home.

Fill out a pre-adoption application for cats and a pre-adoption survey for dogs. Both of them are basic surveys that will let our trained staff know if your home would be a suitable home for the animal you wish to adopt. The dogs adoption survey varies form the cat application due to the fact that we implement the Meet Your MatchTM Canine-ality Program for the dogs. For more information, click here.

If you are adopting a dog and have any children or dogs already, we would ask that they are brought in for a compatibility test. If the pre-adoption application meets all requirements, the new pet will be adopted into your home.

We require that all animals be spayed/neutered before leaving our facility. For more information on spaying/neutering, please visit the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) website. There will be an adoption fee for each animal being adopted from our shelter. If interested in one of the pets on our website, please stop in and fill out an adoption application. Or print of the application, fill it out at home, and then drop it off to us.

Dogs $150/Puppies $175/Cats $95

Prices include spay/neuter, vaccines (including distemper and rabies), heartworm test for dogs, Felv/Fiv tests for cats, and the overall care given to the animal while in our residence. We also promote free adoption counseling and on sight K9 behavior counseling by our own dog behavoralist.
