Here's what the humans have to say about me:
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
Hi Y'all! My name is Tilley. I am a 2 1/2 year old lab/cattle dog mix and I'm 36 lbs. I have lived in a home with other dogs, but one of the other dogs and I have had altercations due to food guarding (specific to other dogs only, not people). I absolutely love people and I'm great with kids. I love to play with toys and tennis balls. If you want to throw a toy for me, I will be your best friend!
I am well behaved in the house and I am also crate trained. I normally sleep in my crate at night with the door open, since it's sort of like my little cave. It's just part of my routine to go in and tucker down for the evening when it's bed time. I like to give and receive affection, but won't be covering your face with sloppy kisses. I am medium energy, so I'm perfect for the house, but I also love to play and go for walks, hikes, etc. if you want to! The more exercise I have, the more calm and nap taking I am in the house. Unless you have professional training experience, I do need to be the only animal in the home due to my resource guarding, as I like to have my people and my things all to myself. I am in a foster home with children 12 years old and older and I am fantastic with them.
Please visit RuralAnimalRescueEffort.org to view our Adoption Process page and complete the Dog Adoption Application.
My adoption fee is $85.00.
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 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!
**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!
