Faith's Story

ADOPTION FEE: $375.00 Thank you for choosing to adopt or foster and aid in the rescue efforts of RARE! **Adoption Interest Form REQUIRED via our website Rarerescue.org** Meet Faith! Meet Faith — the sweet, easygoing puppy everyone falls in love with! Faith is an absolutely adorable puppy with a gentle nature and a calm, loving personality that makes her truly special. While she still enjoys all the fun that comes with being a puppy, Faith is known for being more laid-back than most, making her a wonderful companion for many different types of homes. Faith is currently thriving in her foster home where she lives with young children, cats, and other dogs—and she does amazing with everyone! She is especially gentle with the young children, showing just how naturally sweet and patient she is. Like any happy puppy, Faith enjoys a good play session where she can romp around and have fun. But once she’s gotten her energy out, she’s known for crashing into the cutest deep naps, happily recharging until it’s time for more love and playtime. Overall, she tends to be a more chill puppy, especially after she’s had a chance to play. Faith is expected to grow into a beautiful medium-to-large dog, likely around 50–60 pounds full grown, making her the perfect size for adventures, cuddles, and being your loyal companion. With her gentle spirit, easygoing personality, and ability to get along with just about everyone, Faith is sure to make a wonderful addition to a lucky family. If you’d like to give this sweet girl the forever home she deserves, please complete an adoption application at: rarerescue.org STEPS TO ADOPT: Read the adoptable’s bio below, including their adoption fee Go to RARErescue.org and Read our ADOPTION PROCESS page under the "Adopt" section Complete the DOG ADOPTION INTEREST FORM (located on our website RARErescue.org) We understand that it is important to you to find the right fit for your family. We feel the same way! The DOG ADOPTION INTEREST FORM is important and REQUIRED for this reason. All of our Adoptables are: Spayed/neutered; Up to date on vaccines; Heartworm tested if six months or older (& kept on heartworm preventative and treated for heartworms if positive when entering our program): Microchipped prior to adoption BREEDS: We are not breed experts. The breed(s) listed for each adoptable are best guesses or suggestions. PLEASE NOTE: We are a non-profit organization without municipal or government funding. Veterinary/Medical expenses are constant for an animal rescue. Our adoption fees not only help to provide vetting and care for the animal being adopted, but they also help to cover heartworm treatments and other treatable ailments that many animals, that would otherwise be euthanized, need in order to be made available for adoption. Please understand that adopting an animal is a LIFETIME COMMITMENT to that animal and there will be veterinary expenses throughout their life that can often cost several hundreds, if not thousands of dollars (without pet insurance), especially without annual checkups and preventative care. As a potential family for this pet you are responsible for their safety and that includes keeping them on your property. ***If you are not in the middle Tennessee area, transport can potentially be arranged to approved homes, depending on distance and local adaptability. We normally do not allow adoptions outside of 1.5 hours driving distance.

Rural Animal Rescue Effort - RARE's Adoption Policy

*AN Adoption Application MUST BE SUBMITTED, PLEASE READ BELOW* Thank you for your interest in adopting a RARE animal! We do our very best to find the right fit for the adoptable and your family. The more detailed information we receive from you in your Application will help in this process. Adoption is a life long commitment to the adoptee. Each time an animal is returned it is stressful on the animal, the family and the rescue. We believe in quality adoptions and we hope you do too. That's why we take the time to understand the wants and needs of your family. STEP 1. COMPLETE ADOPTION INTEREST FORM VIA OUR WEBSITE: RARErescue.org The adoption application allows us to know what you are looking to adopt in terms of the animal and the time and training, etc. you are willing to dedicate. Some animals need more time and resources than others. STEP 2. SPEAK WITH A RARE REPRESENTATIVE Once we receive your application, we will call you to you about the specific needs and wants of your family and discuss if the animal you are interested in adopting would be the best fit, or if there are any other 'adoptables' in our program that may be even a better fit.* STEP 3. HOME VISIT/MEET & GREET We will set up a day and time that works with your schedule for us to bring the 'adoptable' or 'adoptables' that you are interested in meeting and potentially adopting. This gives us and your family the opportunity to introduce the adoptable to the people and any current animals in your family. Some introductions take only 30 minutes to an hour; others may take up to two hours, depending on how many other animals are currently living in the home. A proper introduction is key to avoiding altercations and provides safety for your family and our volunteers. STEP 4. 30 DAY TRIAL At the home visit/meet & greet, if your family and RARE agree that the adoptable would be a good potential fit, a 30 day trial can commence at that time. We will bring the adopable's paperwork, any necessary medication (including heartworm prevention for that month), and a few days of food that can be used to mix in with new food to avoid stomach upset. ** The Adoption Contract with the trial clause must be signed and the adoption fee is collected to start the trial, but refundable within the 30 day trial less a non-refundable incidental fee/donation of $25 (cats) $50 (dogs). We believe that it is important for you to be comfortable with the decision you are making to bring a pet into your home and that you are matched with the right adoptable. It may take at least a few days, if not a few weeks, for the adoptable to acclimate to their new environment and learn the schedules and routines of your family. If within that 30 day trial period, the adoptable is returned, you have the option of meeting and starting a trial with a different adoptable OR receiving a refund of your adoption. less a nominal fee for gas (normally $25 - $50, depending on location of adopter). If the adoption is a success, then we will consider the adoption final. However, as part of our contract, if for any reason throughout the adoptee's lifetime that you are unable to keep or care for them, they must be returned to RARE. They cannot be sold, given away or taken to a shelter.*** STEP 5. WE LOVE UPDATES! Each and every one of our adoptions are important to us and we want to know that the adoptee and your family are happy and enjoying your lives together! *Please understand that we are working around the clock, at our regular jobs, caring for the animals in our program, processing adoptions, performing rescue missions to shelters, cruelty cases, hoarding cases, etc. in addition to responding to phone calls, emails and applications. If you submit an application and you do not receive a call, it could be because that animal is already adopted and the adoption site has not processed our update yet (can take approx. 30 minutes or more), or we may be inundated with our other responsibilities. Please feel free to contact our President at 615-330-4769 to get a status update on your application and the animal you are interested in adopting. **Food: We highly recommend Nature's Select (made in America) Dog Food, Puppy Food, and Cat Food available at delivermypetfood.com, which is what we feed our adoptables in foster care. Nature's Select food does not contain corn or wheat and is very reasonably priced, especially compared to any other high quality food. We normally feed the Cold Water recipe which contains minerals, prebiotics, probiotics, and omegas that work together to support a stronger immune and digestive system. The Cold Water recipe is extremely beneficial for sensitive skin and digestion issues. ***Adoption Contract: If you would like a copy of the adoption contract prior to our scheduled meet & greet, please let us know! We would be happy to send it to you in advance.
