Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Meet Rikki, a one-year old (as of January 2016) Labrador retriever/Beagle mix who weighs in at 20 lbs, with a compact, sturdy body covered in shiny, silky short black fur and the prettiest face ever. This little girl is the most gregarious and active dog ever. Rikki loves to play and be cuddled. This smart girl has a mind of her own but she does listen and learn but will excel with training from a gentle, firm owner. She loves people - young and old and would be a great companion to a family with children.
Rikki is a busy, playful dog, she runs fast, plays hard and can go for hours! Once she is played out, she crashes on the couch for a long sleep. Rikki is housebroken, crate trained, and learning to walk on a leash. Rikki gets along with all dogs but she has never met a cat so we don’t know how she would be with one. Rikki is not a barker, but she does love to get up on things and explore. She would be most comfortable in an urban or rural house with a fenced in yard. She will need daily walks and exercise because of her breed. Rikki is spayed, up to date on shots, and healthy. Her adoption fee is $100.
For more information on Rikki, 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.
