Here's what the humans have to say about me:
*A fenced yard is REQUIRED for Lacy*
If you're interested in adopting, which includes an adoption trial, please go to our website, review the Adoption Process page and complete the application:
www.RuralAnimalRescueEffort.org
*Please understand that applications will be considered before any general inquiries due to lack of time and resources. We are an all-volunteer based rescue. The application is important and necessary to help us determine the right fit for you and your family!
Meet Lacy!
Lacy is a gorgeous Wheaten Terrier/Golden mix. She's around 1.5 to 2 years old, 51 lbs and is full of energy. She LOVES playing with other dogs, but is a very "in your face" player, so the other dog needs to be playful and somewhat submissive to be a good match. Lacy needs a fully fenced yard due to her energy level and playfulness. She can also be mouthy and will need continued training to improve her manners. Although Lacy is a mix, she has many of the Wheaten Terrier traits, so experience with the breed would be beneficial. Here are some of the traits that we have found that fit Lacy to a "T"!
•Is medium-sized, sturdy, and athletic
•Has a tousled coat (in natural earthtone shades) that doesn't shed too much
•Is happy and cheerful
•Is energetic, plays vigorously, and acts like a joyful puppy throughout his life
•Barks to announce strangers, then welcomes them as long-lost friends
•Is usually sociable with other family pets
Wheatens are also known for their high energy – they play hard and vigorously and are renowned "bouncers" who jump up and down in attempts to lick your face. It sounds cute, but it can definitely get out of hand!
More congenial than most terriers, the Soft Coated Wheaten is cheerful, lively, and very sociable.....which means he needs a lot of daily companionship. Work all day? Don't get a Wheaten.
So, please read up before applying for Lacy! She is gorgeous, near to no shedding, but she will require daily work and attention.
Please visit RuralAnimalRescueEffort.org to view our Adoption Process page and complete the Dog Adoption Application.
My adoption fee is $135.00.
I am spayed/neutered, up to date on vaccines, kept on heartworm preventative and micro-chipped prior to adoption.
In order to meet or adopt me, please complete the online application at RuralAnimalRescueEffort.org
**PLEASE NOTE: We are an ALL volunteer, 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 heart-worm treatments and other treatable ailments that many animals, that would otherwise be euthanized, need in order to be made available for adoption. 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. All fosters/adopters must have a fenced yard or be willing and able to walk on leash for potty purposes. As a potential family for this pet you are responsible for their safety and that includes keeping them on your property.
An application and home visit/meet & greet 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.
Thank you for choosing to adopt, foster, or aid in the rescue efforts of RARE!
