Madix's Story

Meet Madix! <br/><br/>If you’re looking for a tiny dog with a HUGE personality, Madix might be your guy! This 2–3-year-old Chihuahua mix is one of the goofiest little characters you’ll ever meet, and his foster says he brings so much laughter and joy into their home. <br/><br/>Madix came to RARE a little unsure of the world, but he has made incredible progress in foster care. His transition took only a few days, and before long, it felt like he had always been part of the family. He’s quickly learned his foster’s routine and has adapted beautifully to his new life.<br/><br/>And then there are the zoomies. <br/><br/>When Madix gets going, he becomes a tiny little bullet flying around the house, and his antics are guaranteed to make you laugh. But despite his bursts of energy, he has an equally wonderful off switch. Once he's gotten his zoomies out, he's perfectly happy curling up beside his person and soaking up all the pets and attention he can get.<br/><br/>Madix is:<br/><br/> Seriously goofy and full of personality<br/> Extremely sweet and affectionate<br/> Full of playful energy and some epic zoomies<br/> Excellent at settling down and snuggling<br/> Curious and adventurous<br/> Happiest when he's with his people<br/> Smart and quick to learn routines<br/> Adapting beautifully to life in a home<br/><br/>He’s still working on some of his manners, including leash skills and keeping all four paws on the floor when he gets excited. But his foster is seeing him learn and grow every day, and he’s proving to be a wonderfully smart little guy.<br/><br/>Madix is the perfect combination of adventurous, curious, energetic, silly, and incredibly sweet. He wants to experience everything the world has to offer, but at the end of the day, what he really wants is to be next to his person.<br/><br/>Like any dog, he’ll benefit from continued training, consistency, socialization, and appropriate outlets for his energy.<br/><br/> Madix may be little, but he has enough personality to fill an entire house. If you want a goofy little adventure buddy who will make you laugh and then curl up in your lap for cuddles, Madix is waiting for you!

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. MEET & GREET or HOME INTRO 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 meet/home intro, 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. **The adoption fee is either transferable to another adoptable or half is refundable during the 30 day trial. 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 naturesselectshop.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. We also use Purina Pro Plan, Purina One, Kirkland, Open Farm, and other quality brands. ***Questions Answered AHEAD OF TIME! Prior to any meet/home intro, we email adopters an Adoption Resource Guide, providing information on current food and feeding schedule, heartworm & Flea/tick prevention scheduled, crate size, Adoption Contract to review ahead of time, etc.
