Frostie Terrier Mix Columbia, TN

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 Frostie!

Frostie’s journey started in a rural shelter in Paris, TN, where he was rescued after being confiscated from a property where he suffered from severe neglect. Emaciated and forgotten, his past was heartbreaking—but you’d never know it now! Frostie is a loving, happy boy who has fully embraced his second chance at life.

This handsome, medium-sized pup (around 1 year old) is full of personality! His best friend is his foster sister, Velma (who is also looking for a forever home), and the two love to wrestle and play together. When Frostie gets excited, he flashes his hilarious, full-toothed smile—it’s impossible not to laugh!

He is crate trained, affectionate, and ready to find a family that will cherish him forever. Could that be you?

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.
