Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Meet Margot, a ten month old (as of January 2016) St-Bernard/American Bulldog mix who weighs in at 70 lbs. Margot has beautiful brown markings on her white, soft fur. This girl is loving and enjoys being petted and loved. She is full of energy and always happy. This smart girl has a mind of her own but she does listen and learn.
Margot was kept in a crate during nine months until we took her into the rescue. Now, she is a busy young dog who runs fast, plays hard and can go for hours! She has a lovely disposition and wants to make friends with the terriers in the rescue, but they beat up on her regularly. She really needs a home of her own. Margot is housebroken and is learning to walk on a leash, but she is still a puppy and exhibits puppy behavior so she will benefit from obedience training. An experienced dog owner would be perfect for Margot.
Margot will need a home with a yard and a family who will exercise her regularly. Her family could consist of a single person, a couple, or a family with older children. Because of her size, Margot would not be recommended for a family with young children. Margot get along with dogs, but she has never met a cat. She has a deep booming bark and lets us know when a stranger approaches the house.
Margot is spayed, up to date on shots, and healthy. Her adoption fee is $150.
For more information on Margot, please contact Louise Vande Wiele at 615 500 3164, or through email at LouiseVdeW@gmail.com. We will respond as quickly as possible. Meanwhile, please read the following so that you are aware of, and agree with, our process before asking to adopt one of our rescues.
Anyone wanting to adopt a dog from the RARFS is required to fill out an adoption application, provide references, sign an adoption contract, agree to a home visit, and finally to pay an adoption fee. Once the application is received, references checked, and a home visit completed, and everything is satisfactory, families can take their new family member home. Families who rent must provide a letter from their landlord stating that they are allowed to have a dog, and listing any size or breed restriction.
We are located in Cookeville, Tennessee. We prefer that families come and pick up their new family member, but a licensed pet transport is available. Should we need to transport dogs to their new homes, the adopter will need to arrange and pay $150 per dog directly to the transport company.
Should a dog adopted from RARFS need to be rehomed, we ask that the dog be returned to us, or that we approve the new home. We have a no questions asked return policy, but adoption and transport fees will not be reimbursed.
As a nonprofit organization, RARFS relies on your adoption fees to cover costs. We receive no other outside funding. Fees help us care for the animals we shelter and enable us to offer them to you for adoption in a healthy and happy state. Fees include costs for spaying/neutering, intake vaccines, deworming, monthly heartworm and flea/tick prevention, and any other medical expenses. Without these fees we could not continue to rescue animals from abandonment and/or a life of pain and suffering. We’ve been asked these questions before, so: NO, we will not waive or reduce adoption fees; YES, you can further pay it forward by making a larger donation than the requested fee.
We rescue dogs, not breeds, and we want you to fall in love with the dog you adopt into your family so, as potential adopters, please be aware that the information we provide is to the best of our knowledge. When it comes to breed or age information on a given dog, we must often guess, rely on our knowledge, or go by what we are told by rescuers, vets, and breed experts. If you are looking for a purebred dog, please refer to one of the many excellent breed specific rescue organizations on this website.
