My story

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

Ariel is an 9 week old puppy we pulled from our local shelter and had been set on fire by someone and burned with what the vet feels like was a chemical burn. BUT. This girl seems to show NO lasting emotional effects from what happened to her and LOVES all people and is just the happiest little girl you could ever meet!

Ariel LOVES to give kisses and still has that puppy breath we are all addicted too. She is goofy, loves to play, is so so smart and is already learning potty training and going to the door to go out, does well on a leash and her fosters are working on crate training her but so far not a fan lol!

We are treating her burns and they are already starting to heal so we are so happy for that! She will need to be spayed in a few months but we won't wait to adopt her out-but we will ensure that MUST happen by a future adopter. That is a non-negotiable but Bonaparte's Retreat will take care of the cost. She has had her first round of shots and will be due for her next in a couple weeks and we will wait until her burns are further along in the healing process before we adopt her so in around 4-6 weeks so maybe end of June/July so stay tuned!

We think she may be a smaller Lab so around 40+ lbs. We will also being working on socializing her with other dogs after her next round of shots.

Their adoption process

1.

Submit Application

Submit our online application first.

2.

Meet the Pet

If your application is approved, we will contact you to set up a meet & greet with the dog.

3.

Home Check

After you meet the dog, we conduct a home visit. The dog can then go home with you for a 3-week trial adoption period.

4.

Sign Adoption Contract

You then officially adopt the dog by completing our adoption agreement & release and pay the adoption fee.

Additional adoption info

Our mission is to insure that all our rescued dogs are adopted into loving and permanent homes. We screen potential adopters and do all we can to insure that you adopt the right dog for your home, family, and lifestyle. Our adoption process is as follows:

Complete our online adoption application at the link below OR visit our website to access the application: http://www.bonapartesretreat.org/adoption.html

If your application is approved, we arrange for you to meet the dog. We then bring the dog to you for a home visit to make sure the adoption is a good fit.

If you make the decision to adopt, a three-week trial adoption period begins during which either you or we can change course and cancel the adoption decision. During these three weeks, we are committed to doing everything possible to assist you and your adopted dog with adjusting to a new home and living environment.

Our adoption fee is $125 (or $75 for special needs or senior dogs, a senior being any dog 7 years or older). Once you have made the decision to finalize the adoption, you will complete our Adoption Agreement and Release.

All our adoptable dogs have received vaccinations, been spayed or neutered, tested for heartworms and either treated or started on prevention, and are current on flea and tick prevention.

Because of our process, we usually adopt only in the middle-Tennessee area (within an approximate hour's drive of Nashville) and regret that we are unable to do adoptions outside this area or out-of-state.

Adoption application

Go meet their pets

Because we are foster-based, we do not have a facility open to the public. When you submit an application for one of our adoptable dogs, we arrange for you to meet that dog one-on-one as soon as possible.

Adoption Events and Meet & Greet Events are held at various times throughout the year at many locations. These are not regularly scheduled, so always check our Facebook page or website to confirm dates and times. Better yet, sign up for our e-newsletter at this link and you'll never miss an event or story: https://app.e2ma.net/app2/audience/signup/1746961/1727736/?v=a

More about this rescue

Named in memory of Bonaparte, her own adopted shelter dog, Grammy-winning singer-songwriter and lifelong dog lover Emmylou Harris established Bonaparte’s Retreat Dog Rescue in 2004. Located in Nashville,

We rescue shelter dogs from Metro Nashville Animal Control and from municipal shelters in surrounding counties. We often focus on shelters dogs who are overlooked or deemed unadoptable--such as senior and large dogs or dogs in need of immediate medical care.

We are dedicated to providing nurturing care for these dogs when their allotted time at a shelter has elapsed. Our mission is to prevent these wonderful animals from being euthanized and to adopt them into permanent, loving homes.

Bonaparte's Retreat is a small foster-based 501(c)3 nonprofit dog rescue organization. Visit our website to learn about how you can help, support us, foster, volunteer, or adopt. www.bonapartesretreat.org
