Mixed Breed Dogs Available for Adoption

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**

Meet Faith!

Faith is a young black-and-white puppy with big paws and an even bigger personality. Currently weighing about 16 lbs, she’s still growing into those adorable feet — and into the confident, joyful dog she’s becoming.

While she and her sister look almost identical, Faith stands out with her bold, outgoing spirit (and no freckles on her nose!). She’s the first to greet you, the first to jump into play, and the first to soak up all the attention she can get. Faith absolutely loves to be held and will happily lean in close for snuggles after she’s done exploring.

She’s fantastic with kids, other dogs, and cats, making her a wonderful fit for a variety of homes. Faith brings a bright, social energy wherever she goes and has never met a stranger — just new friends she hasn’t cuddled yet.

With her sweet nature, playful confidence, and loving heart, Faith is ready to grow up in a home full of adventure, affection, and family. She’s the kind of puppy who will fill your days with laughter and your couch with snuggles.

STEPS TO ADOPT:

Read the adoptable’s bio below, including their adoption fee

Go to RARErescue.org and Read our ADOPTION PROCESS page under the "Adopt" section 

Complete the  DOG ADOPTION INTEREST FORM (located on our website RARErescue.org)

We understand that it is important to you to find the right fit for your family. 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.

The mixed breed dogs, often referred to as mutts, are a diverse and unique group with a blend of different characteristics from various purebred dog breeds. These dogs come from a mixture of lineages, resulting in a wide range of sizes, coat types, and temperaments. While each mixed breed dog is distinct in its own right, they are known for their resilience, adaptability, and often have fewer health issues compared to purebred dogs due to their genetic diversity. Mixed breed dogs make wonderful companions for families looking for a loyal and one-of-a-kind pet.
