Oriole

Thank you for choosing to adopt or foster and aid in the rescue efforts of RARE!  **Adoption Interest Form REQUIRED via our website Rarerescue.org** BASIC INFORMATION: Meet Oriole!  Are you looking for a charming companion to brighten your days? Look no further! Oriole is a stunning petite Pibble mix, approximately a year old, and 45 lbs. Other than a pound or two, he won’t be getting any larger, so he’s a great medium size! His striking black and white coat is sure to capture your heart at first sight. Oriole is a social butterfly who adores people. Despite his playful nature, he's respectful towards the feline friends in his foster home, showing that he has a gentle side. He loves people and would do well as an only dog but he also loves engaging in playtime and wrestling with other dogs, making him a good match for a social, friendly female dog seeking a brother to share adventures with. He is also great with kids, but would do best with kids over the age of 8, as they would have matching energy levels! This sweet boy has a heartwarming story to tell - Oriole was at a dirty rural dog pound, emaciated, and had a condition called happy tail, which led to bleeding and discomfort, ultimately requiring his tail to be amputated down to a long nub. However, this hasn't dampened his spirit one bit! Oriole is crate trained and ready to charm his way into your heart. If you can provide Oriole with the loving forever home he deserves, please complete an adoption application at rarerescue.org. Your new best friend is waiting to meet you! ???

We feel the same way! The DOG ADOPTION INTEREST FORM is important and REQUIRED for this reason.  All of our Adoptables are: Spayed/neutered; Up to date on vaccines; Heartworm tested if six months or older (& kept on heartworm preventative and treated for heartworms if positive when entering our program): Microchipped prior to adoption BREEDS: We are not breed experts. The breed(s) listed for each adoptable are best guesses or suggestions. 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.  As a potential family for this pet you are responsible for their safety and that includes keeping them on your property. ***If you are not in the middle Tennessee area, transport can potentially be arranged to approved homes, depending on distance and local adaptability. We normally do not allow adoptions outside of 1.5 hours driving distance.
