Pet of the Week: Dori

Dori is around 9-yrs-old, great with kids/cats/and dogs and Operation Education had been helping with her for at least a year at a home where her human-mom was dying. As the mom is finally in the last stages of her life, her kids didn’t want to handle the dogs (there were several) so they stuck them outside. They had been, before then, well taken care of.
Please go to http://onthefifthday.chipin.com/doris-heartworm-treatment to help with the costs of treating her! We do not raise the adoption fee when we have to treat them; heartworm treatment can be expensive, but Dori's is early stage.

We will be at the PetSmart in Smyrna July 9 from 11-3 with some of our adoptable pets!
Email AllAboutAnimalsTN@gmail.com for an application, which is step 1 of the adoption process.
Email or call us if there is a pet you want to meet so we can make arrangements to have them there.

We will review it (call vet & 3 references, etc) & schedule a home visit, then you will sign our adoption agreement & pay the adoption fee. We cannot guarantee that a pet will be able to go home with you on the day of the event without an approved application ahead of time.
We have a 7 day return policy. If within the first 7 days you find you can't keep the animal, you will be refunded all but $25 for dogs, and $15 for cats. After 7 days, there are no refunds.
All animals are returned to the rescue if you find you can't keep them at anytime.
A fence is not required, but you must have a plan for making sure the dog gets daily exercise.
