My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

MEET CINNAMON! (Descriptor: Sidekick)

A fabulous candidate for a family or first dog, Cinnamon is a ~7 year old, 60 lb, hidden gem of a gal. One of the sensational seniors ready to learn your routine and settle down for pets and treats, Cinnamon is truly deserving of her very own home. Read what her short-term foster had to say about her lovely stay:

'On the ride bringing Cinnamon home, she was quiet and politely sitting in the backseat. She had no issue getting into the car and initially was shy but nevertheless very friendly, trusting, and well behaved for the car ride.

“At home Cinnamon took to exploring right away, her bubbly personality came out and she was grinning ear to ear as she discovered each room of the house. She wasn’t crated because she was with me at all times and an excellent co-pilot. She is an even better cuddler who will also respectfully sleep at your feet through the night. Cinnamon loves a good squeaky stuffed toy and enjoys playing fetch indoors to get your attention. She did not express any signs of resource guarding and whilst tussling for a toy she will graciously lose the tug-o-war, especially if that means you will throw the toy for her again. 

“I don’t recall her ever barking, possibly once when a package was dropped off, but naturally I applauded her for the notification. Cinnamon was never territorial or nervous waiting in the car and was complemented constantly on her looks and behavior as we strolled through places such as Tractor Supply. You can get Cinnamon excited and playful and then you can ask her to 'settle' and she will do just that, she even took a nap waiting next to me in the vet lobby.  

“Cinnamon was always friendly and polite with new people she met in passing. From the first interaction, Cinnamon was always calm with my rabbit who enjoyed going up to say hello through his cage door and showed little interest when I brought my rabbit out for pets. 

“Cinnamon was a treat to walk on a leash whilst greeting passing neighbors and their dogs from across the road. Cinnamon has excellent recall in the yard and did not pursue nearby squirrels or deer. However, she never missed an opportunity to roll in a fluffy pile of leaves.

“Overall Cinnamon is an easy going dog who loves life and is proud to stay by your side. She is a seasoned older sidekick who is confident with surroundings and will happily relax while you focus on what you are doing. Cinnamon will happily surrender her stomach to be pet and does not mind some feet tickling or paw pad inspection. Lastly, even with some courtesy peanut butter, she will stand politely to be bathed. She has never had an accident in the house, and adapts well with a sporadic schedule. Truly a hidden gem of a dog, Cinnamon would make an excellent addition to be a first dog for a family or individual.'

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

1) Submit Online Adoption Application
•Complete your adoption application online at www.tarashouse.net by filling in all required information, including your veterinarian information, landlord, etc. If you do not currently have a vet, please indicate the vet you intend to use for your new dog. When all questions are answered, click “submit” to send to our Adoption Committee.

2) Initial Telephone Interview
•Within 3 - 5 days after online submittal of your application, a Tara's House representative will conduct your initial interview by telephone if our Adoption Committee decides to pursue your application. If your adoption application was submitted in person during a monthly adoption show, we will review your application and conduct the initial interview in person on the spot.

•While we try to contact everyone who applies for a pet – sometimes a pet that enters our adoption program is so popular that our limited volunteer resources are simply unable to contact each and every one. We apologize in advance that this is occasionally has happened.

3) Reference Check
•A Tara's House representative will call all references, especially your vet and landlord (if applicable), if we wish to proceed with your application after the initial review.

4) The Home Visit
•If Tara's House finds all references give positive feedback and every other requirement has been met to this phase of our process, one of our Adoption Committee members may contact you to arrange a brief home visit. We will ask you to demonstrate a day in the life of your potential adopted dog and evaluate the environment and conditions for the dog. If you have a glowing vet reference or otherwise demonstrate in the phone interview to be very dog experienced, we may waive the home visit.

5) Adoption Approval
•Our Adoption Committee convenes - usually virtually - to discuss your application as we worked through each phase of our process. From this collaborative review, our Adoption Committee will make the final decision on your application and inform you of their decision in short order.

•If approved, you will receive an “approval email” from our Executive or Deputy Director.

•We do not release any information collected from references, the home visit, or any other source used to make our decision on applicants.

•If you are approved to adopt a Tara's House dog, you must sign and submit to Tara's House our legally binding adoption contract along with our adoption fee (payable by check made to 'Tara's House), as well as make arrangements with the applicable foster home to meet the particular pet within three days following our notification that you have been approved.

• Our Adoption Contract can be downloaded from our adoption center at www.tarashouse.net. You may also download our Adoption Checklist, which will help you prepare what to look for and do once your adopted pet is home.

More about this rescue

Tara’s House is a private, nonprofit, 501(c)(3) organization. Our mission is to rescue and provide care and compassion for our pets while working to place them in permanent, loving homes. The pets we rescue arrive at Tara's House from rural, high kill shelters with little to no funding for their own adoption programs. These shelters rely on Tara's House and other rescues to save these adoptable pets from certain euthanasia. It is a sad fact - pets find their way to shelters through no fault of their own. Today, many are innocent victims of the current financial crisis; families simply cannot afford to keep them. We believe in giving these shelter pets a second chance. At Tara's House, we provide our pets with the vet care and love that they need to thrive. We then help them find "furever" homes. We receive no government funding; we operate solely on private donations and volunteer efforts. With 4-5 million pets euthanized in the United States each year, our team of volunteers is dedicated to helping those pets that we can, and to making a positive impact in the life of each pet we rescue. Please - opt to adopt!
