Milkshake's Story

Meet Milkshake! <br/><br/>Milkshake is a Golden Cocker Spaniel with a heart as soft as his coat and a personality that’s even sweeter than his name. This 36-pound boy is affectionate, easygoing, and happiest when he’s close to his people.<br/><br/>Milkshake came to RARE from a rural pound, and despite whatever his past may have looked like, he has never lost his love for people. He’s a total sweetheart who loves belly rubs, curling up on the couch, and snoozing in his dog bed near his foster at night. <br/><br/>Milkshake is:<br/><br/>-Incredibly loving and affectionate<br/><br/>-A professional couch companion<br/><br/>-A big fan of belly rubs and being close to his people<br/><br/>-Good with other dogs, though he prefers some personal space when he's relaxing<br/><br/>-Good with cats<br/><br/>-Not much of a barker<br/><br/>-House-trained<br/><br/>Milkshake does occasionally enjoy playing with other dogs, especially smaller ones, but he's just as happy lounging around and soaking up attention. He appreciates having his own space when he's settling down, particularly if he's relaxing on the couch.<br/><br/>There is one important thing Milkshake's future family will need to understand: he does struggle with separation anxiety. He loves his people so much that being left alone can be difficult for him. Because of this, Milkshake needs an adopter who is committed to helping him work through his separation anxiety rather than expecting him to simply "get over it."<br/><br/>His forever family should be prepared to move at his pace and gradually build his comfort with being alone, and provide the consistency and patience he needs to feel secure. This may take time, but Milkshake is worth it. <br/><br/>He's not looking for someone who expects perfection. He's looking for someone who will say, "We'll figure this out together."<br/><br/>If you have the time, patience, and commitment to help Milkshake build confidence and independence while giving him the loving home he craves, you could be exactly what this sweet boy has been waiting for.<br/><br/> Milkshake wants nothing more than to be your shadow, your couch buddy, and your best friend. He just needs a person who will help him learn that being apart for a little while doesn't mean he's being left behind.

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.
