Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Hey! Ruger here!
I am a handsome 11 month old boxer/staffie mix. I am only 45 lbs, so I'm the perfect size for cuddling. I enjoy long walks on the trail and couch time for the movie at the end of a good day. I am very people friendly. I will sit and wait for treats and I enter my crate on command. My crate is a great place for me to relax when you're not home. I enjoy my "chews" and take a long nap. Then I'm ready for dinner and a nice walk or romp in the yard.
I have gotten along great with dogs in the past, but once there was one who was trying to get more affection than me from my human on the couch while we were relaxing and I didn't appreciate that. So, I made a mistake and got nasty with the other dog. Sometimes, dogs become possessive of their people when they live with other dogs. I don't mind other people coming around my humans, just other dogs when I'm trying to rest with them. I know it sounds bad, but I know a little training would help or I would have to be the only dog in the home.
My adoption fee is $85.00. I am neutered, up to date on vaccines, kept on heartworm preventative and microchipped.
An application and home visit are required. A RARE representative (normally the President and/or foster parent(s) will bring the animal of interest to the home in order to ensure the right fit, perform meet & greet and answer any questions, go over vaccination and other vet paperwork etc.. An adoption trial may commence at that time, if RARE and potential adopter(s) are in agreement. Please complete the application on our website www.RuralAnimalRescueEffort.org and we will call you to explain the adoption process in more detail and answer any questions you may have.
*If you are not in the middle Tennessee area, transport can potentially be arranged to approved homes, depending on distance. We normally do not allow adoptions outside of 4 hours driving distance due to limited resources and difficulty ensuring the right match, especially if there are already animals in the home.
**All of our pets are, or will be, spayed/neutered, up to date on all vaccines and micro-chipped prior to adoption.
Our adoption fees not only help the animal being adopted, but they also help to cover heart-worm treatments and other treatable ailments that many animals, that would otherwise be euthanized, need to be made available for adoption.
Thank you for choosing to adopt, foster, or aid in the rescue efforts of RARE!
