Abbott

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 Abbott! Abbott is a charming blend of sweetness and charisma, wrapped in a stunning dark chocolate coat that accentuates his unique Pit/Shar-Pei mix. His gorgeous hazel eyes tell a story of warmth and affection, reflecting a personality that's as delightful as his appearance. Abbott is more than just a pretty face; he's a fully crate-trained and house-trained companion, showcasing his intelligence and adaptability. What truly sets Abbott apart is his incredible social skills—he's not only sweet but also incredibly sociable. Abbott gets along with other dogs - he gets along wonderfully with female dogs and puppies, but is a bit selective with male dogs that are dominant - and cats, forming instant bonds, and his affectionate nature extends to children, making him a perfect fit for families seeking a four-legged friend with both charm and heart. In terms of looks, Abbott is a canine masterpiece. His striking dark chocolate coat and unique Pit/Shar-Pei mix give him a distinctive appearance that's impossible to ignore. His gorgeous hazel eyes add a touch of soulfulness to his overall charm. If you're ready to welcome a stunning and affectionate companion into your life, fill out an application at rarerescue.org. Abbott is eager to become a cherished member of your family, bringing beauty, joy, and love! BASIC INFORMATION: Suggested Breed(s): Pit/Shar-pei mix Gender: Male/Neutered Approx.

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.
