Thanks for choosing rescue!
Hope is approximately 8 years old, housebroken, non-destructive and as sweet as sugar. She is deaf so you have to get her attention for her to follow you. She will come nudge you to go outside to go to the bathroom. She LOVES being massaged and loves her dog bed. She was a stray for a long time on the streets in Jackson, TN. When animal control found her in the front of a yard they initially thought she was dead. Thank goodness she was alive. She was covered in ticks, fleas and flies had eaten her little ears. Now she is pest free and her ears and muzzle are almost healed.
All of our rescues are temperament tested around children of all ages, small and large dogs and cats. They all have basic training, IE; sit; down, come and walking on a lead. We are not a shelter, we are a rescue and all of our rescued dogs are kept in individual foster/volunteers homes. This gives them sometimes their first taste of having a family and being part of that family. Also, it provides us with the understanding of each individual rescue to match them to your family lifestyle and dynamics. As soon as we receive your application back, we will phone you to set up a home visit/meet & greet. If you are out of our area, we would request another rescue and/or veterinary office complete the home visit.
Our adoption fee is $250.00. All of our rescues are completely vetted prior to adoption. Also, completed prior to adoptions are heartworm treatments as needed, any medical conditions treated (IE; allergies, demedex, etc.) and any surgeries for dogs coming into the rescue injured (IE; car accidents, etc.). Below is the vetting that all of our rescues receive prior to adoption. We only pull dogs from shelters and approximately 80% of our rescues come into the rescue heartworm positive. Those rescues are treated for heartworms prior to adoption.

We do complete home visits prior to being approved. They are not designed to turn adopters down, but to point out safety issues for this breed. If you have any other questions, please don't hesitate to ask.
