Rae has one of the saddest stories & the cruelty here is soul destroying. Rae lived in a cage in the laundry in CA for 8 years. She had a dog brother who was allowed to be out & about all the time, go on car rides, receive affection, but not Rae because her mum did like, love or want her. There were times she even admitted she had been kicking Rae. There was a husband & small child in the home who did love Rae & wanted her but the mother could not stand the site of her & threatened to euthanize her. Once we were told how Rae needed help we moved heaven & earth to help Rae so she could know what love is. We believe every sweet soul such as Rae and her friends deserves to be loved and cherished and given the chance to have a wonderful life. Now Rae is looking for a special family to cherish her and be patient with her & remember what this beautiful soul has been through and a family that meets all her needs. Once we got Rae we knew immediately she needed to lose weight & start a much healthier life inside & out. Rae was bought back to WA state & is so happy to be here. Rae is the most beautiful soul and loves hard when people love her. She knows her world is so very different. Her foster mum said she is such a good girl and up for anything and comes when she calls her and gets so excited at times, ie when it’s time to get up, dinner time, going for adventures. Rae loves her foster mum so much & followed her everywhere once she first arrived. It’s so sad because her mum never loved her so she was craving love. She radiates gratitude. She just wants you to love her and she will love you back. She adores being hugged and held because the reality is we are the first real people in her life to show her such true love and affection apart from a day in her foster home in CA. She is a really smart girl too because on the day of arrival she got in the car & never looked back & it was if she had always been here. When she finds people who love her they become his world. She is such a soft gentle girl who gets so excited every time she sees her foster mum and her little bum is always wagging with glee. She loves to run and play with her foster siblings and must go to a home with another dog who will be company for her. A dog that has too much energy might be a bit too much for her. Rae eats a clean diet, meaning raw fruits, raw vegetables, 70 % raw proteins, grains, fats and supplements. She also enjoys collagen sticks and bully sticks. All of her treats are homemade and we are still getting her to lose weight. Rae has been taught to walk on harness & leash & has been doing wonderful. Rae is a rescue & will need patience, time & understanding. Rae adores being pampered & doesn’t want you to stop when brushing him, cleaning his eyes, grooming her, baths, the hairdryer she loves it all. She also does extremely well being touched in general & adores receiving love. Having toys & a warm bed is all new to Rae & we have been excited to change her world with the introduction of toys & lots of love & affection & a loving environment. So far she has not started showing interest in toys in her foster home. Rae has learnt to ride in the car and does well in the car and enjoys a good car ride. She is such an amazing, loving little lady. With Rae we are only looking for a crate free home for this lovely little lady only. Please do not apply with the intent to crate this girl. We are also looking for a forever home for Rae where someone is home during the day or Rae can go with her people wherever possibly she can go with them. Rae is looking for a forever home who will cherish her and love her as she should be loved and be very patient with her and understanding. Rae has been around many breeds of dogs all shapes and sizes since coming into the rescue and she is currently with other dogs and enjoys their company in her loving foster home. She can be found at times snuggled up to her foster siblings and will want to sleep in bed with you and she does in her current loving foster home. A fully fenced backyard is mandatory for Rae’s new forever home if it’s a free standing home. Rae is now roughly 27 lbs & 8 years old. She is spayed & perhaps a cocker spaniel & what she is mixed with we are not sure? She is microchipped, had her shots including DHLPP, rabies & dewormed. Rae will also be receiving a dental prior to adoption. Once these shots expire we will not redo them except rabies as we will not over vaccinate our beloved dogs. Rae has not been around cats since being in the rescue but it’s always up to the new family to be responsible with their animals. We have had Rae with small children, but it’s always up to the family to be responsible with their children & animals. We were not there when Rae was go conceived so we do not know who her parents were and it’s always up to the new potential family to look at the pictures and decide what they think her breed is. Unfortunately we have spent far more on Rae than her adoption fee covers & the owner didn’t care & just wanted her gone. As with all of our rescues and Rae’s friends she will need work on potty training and training, so this should be something the new family would be willing to work on & commit to. Please do not submit an application if you are not willing to commit to one of our rescues care for their whole life and that includes if they need training. Please do not email us asking is Rae potty trained or available, nor do we ship dogs anywhere as we will not respond. We would never say anyone of our rescues are potty trained. Our rescues need homes where the people are understanding of their past & what they have been through and what they will need in their daily lives & not willing to give up on them and if they do need training in their new home will in fact take them to training and not just say they will when applying. Please only submit an application if you are truly interested in adopting Rae and going through our process and have read her listing fully to the end and are wanting to adopt. If you are not responsive to our calls, emails or your references do not respond we will move on and remove your application from our system. You must be willing to go through our screening process which includes your references being checked, a phone interview and a virtual home visit using Zoom followed by a meet and greet and if it’s a good fit, up to our discretion. We will only be accepting applications for Rae who understands her needs and that meet all the requirements for this lovely sweet lady. Once we find the right home for each little soul we work fast, within days so the dogs can go to their forever homes in quite a timely manner. We do not hold onto dogs for people as our goal is to save lives and please do not submit an application if you are not ready to adopt. Rae has an adoption fee of $865 & is ready for her truly loving forever home and compassion and understanding of what she has been through.
