Ryman's Story

ADOPTION FEE: $185.00<br/><br/><br/><br/>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 Ryman 🤍<br/><br/>Ryman is a handsome Cockapoo with a story that truly tugs at your heart. He was originally adopted from our program back in May of 2018 when he was just about a year old, and has been loved ever since. Unfortunately, Ryman's original adopter is battling stage four breast cancer that has spread to her stomach, bones, and skin. As such, she was no longer able to care for herself or Ryman and she needed to move out of state to live with family. As much as she loved Ryman she was heartbroken that she could not take him with her or provide the care he needs.<br/><br/>Ryman is back with us now in temporary foster care. He has been well loved and kept up to date on his vaccines, but he does have a cherry eye in his left eye and he's scheduled for surgery on June 24th with our vet. However, he can still be adopted at this time - we will just coordinate with the adopter for his appointment. <br/><br/>Ryman is a very sweet boy who craves attention and loves being around people. He especially enjoys having his back and belly rubbed, and one of his favorite things is playing fetch with a tennis ball — he’s great about bringing it right back! Even if you simply sit in a chair and toss the ball for him once a day, he’s perfectly content and happy.<br/><br/>Ryman does not particularly enjoy being around other dogs, aside from Missy, the dog he previously lived with in his former adoptive home. He may bark at unfamiliar dogs, so he would do best as the only pet. While he loves people, we recommend a home without small children, as he is not accustomed to young kids, their fast movements, or the unpredictability that can come with them.<br/><br/>He would do best with a fenced yard since he absolutely loves playing fetch and has become very accustomed to having that space in his temporary foster home. He also enjoys walks, though he can pull a bit when excited.<br/><br/>Ryman is both house-trained and crate-trained.<br/><br/>Completing an adoption application is the first step in our process 🐾 <br/><br/><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.

ADOPTION FEE: $185.00

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.
