Paige's Story

Meet Paige!<br/>Adoption Fee Will Be Discounted if Adopted Together with Gemma<br/><br/>Paige is a sweet, laid-back little terrier mix who is looking for a home where she can continue enjoying the simple things in life: lounging with her favorite people, playing with her dog friends, and spending time with her very best friend, Gemma.<br/><br/>Paige was originally adopted from our rescue in December 2024. Shortly after adopting Paige, her family welcomed Gemma into the home through another rescue organization. The two quickly formed a special bond and became constant companions, following each other around the house and yard and enjoying life side by side.<br/><br/>When their owners recently determined that having dogs was no longer the right fit for their lifestyle, Paige was returned to our rescue. With permission from Gemma's rescue organization, we also welcomed Gemma into our program so the girls could remain together. Since arriving in foster care, they have continued to show just how much they love one another, and we would love to see them adopted together if possible.<br/><br/>Paige is fully house-trained, has excellent house manners, and does not require a crate. She's an easy companion who is happy to relax around the house, enjoy the yard, or curl up nearby while you go about your day.<br/><br/>Paige gets along well with other dogs overall, but she appreciates good manners and personal space. While she loves other dogs, she doesn't enjoy having unfamiliar dogs rush directly into her face. She may give a corrective nip when first meeting dogs that immediately invade her space or with young puppies that haven't yet learned appropriate boundaries. Once introductions are handled respectfully, she does very well and coexists happily with other dogs.<br/><br/>In fact, Paige absolutely loves to play and wrestle with her foster mom's Chihuahua and enjoys canine companionship when other dogs understand her communication style. Like many mature dogs, she simply prefers friends who respect her personal bubble.<br/><br/>Paige is a wonderful mix of affectionate, independent, and easygoing. She's the type of dog who settles easily into a routine and quickly becomes a beloved member of the family. Whether she's lounging around the house, hanging out in the yard, or spending time with Gemma, she's content just being part of the action.<br/><br/>If you're looking for a calm, well-mannered companionor if you're interested in giving both Paige and Gemma the forever home they deserveyou won't find a sweeter pair. Their adoption fees will be discounted if adopted together, and we know they would love nothing more than to continue their journey side by side.<br/><br/>Could Paige (and maybe Gemma, too) be the missing piece in your family?

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.
