ADOPTION FEE: $375.00 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 Ella Bella! This gorgeous black Lab mix is the total package! At just 5–6 months old and currently around 37 lbs, Ella Bella is expected to grow into a perfect medium-sized companion at about 50 lbs full grown. Ella Bella has a heart as big as her beautiful soulful eyes. She absolutely loves other dogs and would thrive in a home with a canine buddy to play with. She’s also fantastic with people of all ages, including children, and even does well with cats—making her a wonderful fit for a variety of homes. For such a young pup, Ella Bella is already off to an amazing start with her manners. She’s doing great with house training and is sleeping through the night like a champ. Like any teen pup, she’s still learning and growing, so she is crated when left home alone to help set her up for continued success. Ella Bella is playful, affectionate, and eager to be part of a family who will continue to guide her as she blossoms into an incredible lifelong companion. If you’re looking for a sweet, social, and well-rounded pup to add to your home, Ella Bella might just be your perfect match. Complete adoption application at rarerescue.org 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.
