Porkchop (Scruffy Pittie)'s Story

Thank you for choosing to adopt or foster and aid in the rescue efforts of RARE! <br/><br/>**Adoption Interest Form REQUIRED via our website Rarerescue.org**<br/><br/>Meet Porkchop 💙<br/><br/>Porkchop’s story almost ended before it ever really had the chance to begin.<br/><br/>After finding himself at a rural pound, Porkchop quickly landed on the euthanasia list simply because there were too many dogs and not enough space. Day after day, he sat in his kennel waiting — not understanding why no one had come for him.<br/><br/>But despite everything he’s been through, Porkchop has remained one of the happiest, most loving dogs you could ever meet.<br/><br/>He absolutely adores people and seems to believe every single person he meets is his new best friend. He loves attention, cuddling on the couch, and being included in whatever his people are doing. He’s the kind of dog who just wants to love and be loved in return.<br/><br/>Porkchop is also good with other dogs and would likely do best with a younger or playful canine companion because he LOVES to play. He has a fun, goofy personality and would probably thrive in a home with a backyard where he can zoom around, burn off energy, and enjoy being a dog.<br/><br/>Watching Porkchop now, it’s hard to believe this sweet, joyful boy was once so close to losing his life.<br/><br/>Now, all he needs is a forever family to make sure he never has to wonder if he’s safe again. 💙<br/><br/>If you’re interested in adopting Porkchop, please fill out an application at rarerescue.org.<br/><br/>STEPS TO ADOPT:<br/><br/>Read the adoptable’s bio below, including their adoption fee<br/><br/>Go to RARErescue.org and Read our ADOPTION PROCESS page under the "Adopt" section <br/><br/>Complete the  DOG ADOPTION INTEREST FORM (located on our website RARErescue.org)<br/><br/>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. <br/><br/>All of our Adoptables are:<br/><br/>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<br/><br/>BREEDS: We are not breed experts. The breed(s) listed for each adoptable are best guesses or suggestions.<br/><br/>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.<br/><br/>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.<br/><br/>***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. 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.
