Meet Ziti!
All the great things:
Ziti is part of the pasta puppies litter! She loves to play and will keep you and your kids busy! She is an independent lady who loves to explore and discover....she is very smart and is quite the escape artist! She has a strong personality and definetely will be the pack leader.
She is doing great with potty training too, no accidents in the house. We are thinking she will be approximately 35-40 pounds as an adult
If you are interested in meeting Ziti, please visit RuralAnimalRescueEffort.org to read our Adoption Process page and complete the Dog Adoption Application. We are looking forward to helping you find the newest member of your family!
Adoption Fee: $165.00
All of our Adoptables are spayed/neutered, up to date on vaccines, heartworm tested (and kept on heartworm preventative and treated for heartworms if positive when entering our program) and microchipped prior to adoption.
**PUPPIES: If interested in adopting a puppy, please think on whether or not you are able to let the puppy out at least every four hours for potty training and commit to spending time on basic obedience training (preferably professional training classes) and socialization with other animals and people. Puppies are not fully house trained, but working on crate training in their foster homes.
*Please understand that applications will be considered before any general inquiries due to limited time and resources. We are a foster based rescue.
**PLEASE NOTE: We are a 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 heartworm 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 2 hours driving distance due to limited resources and difficulty ensuring the right match, especially if there are already animals in the home.
Thank you for choosing to adopt, foster, or aid in the rescue efforts of RARE!
