Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Meet Trooper, a one-year old (as of March 2015), male white and black short haired Jack Russell Terrier who weighs in at 25 lbs and stands knee high on an average adult. He has a lovely black mask, brown jowls and eyebrows, and a white blaze on his face.
Trooper was dropped off to our rescue on at Christmas time, without explanation and was sad for a while, but is coming out of his shell. Since then, he has shared his sweet personality with us as he learns to live in a home. A loving, happy dog with a solid body and inquisitive eyes, he is comfortable with everyone – young and old. He is active, agile, and enjoys being outdoors. He is a cuddle baby, likes belly rubs, and adores treats. Trooper would be a great family and/or companion dog, and an active family would be best. Trooper likes other dogs, but too many of them scare him and make him nervous. He is definitely not a dominant baby. He has never met a cat so we don’t know how he would be with one.
Trooper is a small dog with lovely markings in his short white coat, with a black face and behind. He is not a barker and he is fully housebroken. Trooper would be comfortable in any setting - rural, urban, apartment or house, but will need daily walks and exercise. He tries to outsmart his foster mother regularly but is learning good manners and never chews on anything but his bones.
Trooper is healthy, neutered, and up to date vaccinations. He will be vetted as needed until he is adopted. His adoption fee is $200.
For more information on Trooper please contact Louise Vande Wiele at 615 500 3164. 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 non-profit organization, RARFS relies on your adoption fees to cover costs. We receive no 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 cover the 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.
RARFS rescues 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 visit one of the many breed specific rescue organizations on this website.
