Our Mission
Rural Animal Rescue Effort (RARE) is a foster-based, 501 (c) 3 Non-Profit Organization with a mission to rescue neglected and abandoned animals in the most rural areas of Tennessee, finding fosters and adopters in more populated/metropolitan areas, and provide spay/neuter assistance for pet owners in the most rural areas of Tennessee to reduce the extreme overpopulation of companion animals.
We are dedicated to increasing education and awareness of the importance of spaying and neutering companion animals in order to reduce overpopulation and finding fosters and adopters for homeless animals, specifically in rural shelters. Our focus is in the rural west and middle regions of Tennessee.
In addition to finding foster care and adopters for the animals in need, we also network with other non-profit organizations when we are at capacity. RARE depends on adoption fees and donations for veterinary care, including but not limited to: vaccines, heart-worm tests, heart-worm preventatives, and spays and neuters.
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. HOME VISIT/MEET & GREET
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 home visit/meet & greet, 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
