RARFS - TN

At the Rural Animal Rescue & Foster Society our mission is to rescue and protect domestic animals through fostering programs and good adoptions. We are not breed specific, and often take in old and/or sick animals. We ensure that all our animals are spayed/neutered and kept up to date on vaccines. All our animals get monthly flea and heart worm prevention treatments. We're dedicated to preventing animal cruelty and overpopulation, and offer public education about the many ways of reducing animal neglect. Because we often take in abused animals, we work to socialize all animals before adoption. We started rescuing because so many animals are abandoned in Tennessee, and we kept finding abandoned dogs from puppy to elderly ones, and could not, in good conscience, leave them out there to starve or be hurt further. It has since become our life's work and we are up to 40 dogs and while we adopt many out, we take in more every day.
