Meet ALYSSA!
All the great things:
Alyssa is a beautiful, petite sleek black fun loving pup. She is around 14 weeks old, 17 lbs and will likely stay between 20-25 lbs full grown. Alyssa has a very short coat and barely sheds! She is well socialized around other animals and people of all ages. She loves to cuddle and falls asleep in her foster mom's bed after about 30 seconds. She is a happy, energetic puppy, but passes out quickly when it's time for bed. She loves to play with other dogs and is always the happiest pup in the bunch! Alyssa is crate trained and does not have any accidents. She is also doing great on house training and doesn't have any accidents as long as she has appropriate potty breaks throughout the day.
Things to know:
Since Alyssa is still a young puppy, she is playful and needs to continue training. She has an abundance of love to give and doesn't always realize jumping isn't the best way to show affection.
Best Fit:
Alyssa is looking for an active person or family to go to parks, on walks, hikes etc. and then crash on the couch or bed for a movie or rest. Tired puppies are the best puppies! Alyssa is eager to please and just wants to be around people and/or other dogs. She loves interacting with others.
If you are interested in meeting Alyssa, please visit RuralAnimalRescueEffort.org to read our Adoption Process page and complete the Dog Adoption Application.
Adoption Fee: $145.00
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!
