DARE Animal Rescue
Daring to make a difference in the lives of animals. Defending * Advocating * Rescuing * Educating

Daring to make a difference in the lives of animals, I, Mechelle Sullivan, and my rescue partners work tirelessly towards ending pet overpopulation and the senseless killing of innocent animals through rescue and education. Together, we have almost 40 years combined experience in

the animal rescue field. I served as the Foster/Adoption Coordinator for our local Humane Society for 20 years and on the executive board for approximately 10 years. I have also been a foster mom, a community outreach coordinator, and an avid spokesperson for animals in need. Our emphasis is on spay/neuter, community outreach and education and rescue. We encourage all pet owners to spay or neuter their pets, and we strongly advocate for saving lives by adopting from animal shelters and rescues rather than purchasing from a breeder. Whether a bouncy puppy or senior dog, fluffy kitten or adult cat, all of the animals in DARE Animal Rescue receive the utmost care and respect. It is our responsibility to place them in homes where they will be given the things they deserve: love, attention, understanding, training, patience, medical care, proper nourishment, shelter, and companionship. We take our responsibility to these animals very seriously and strive to do our very best to make the best adoption match possible, for the sake of the pet as well as the adopter. Please remember that while you may be a wonderful pet owner, we do not know you personally. That is why we like to do a “meet and greet” with each potential adopter. Because we are a small rescue, we can only take in a very limited number of animals. Our primary focus is rescuing stray, abandoned, neglected and abused animals. If you are looking to re-home your pet, it is your responsibility and one that should not be taken lightly. We will be happy to share a packet of information with suggestions to help you find the best home possible. If you would like this information, please share your address in a private message. We feel that adoption is not only the right thing to do but the smart thing to do. When you adopt from an animal rescue organization or shelter, you are not only saving a life, but you are helping in the fight to end animal overpopulation. We hope you will be a part of the solution by joining the hundreds of other happy pet owners who have adopted from an animal rescue organization or shelter. Together we can make a difference. Will you DARE to join us in our mission to save animals? An animal “in need” needs you! Mechelle Sullivan
President

***OUR ADOPTION PROCESS***

1. Once you contact us about a dog or cat (more photos to come!) that you would like to adopt, we will set up a “meet and greet” where we will come to your home to meet you and your family. Not only will this give us an opportunity to meet you but also a chance to tell you more about the pet and to talk about your expectations. We have a very small application that we would like you to complete at that time. Making a good match between the pet and adopter is extremely important to Dare Animal Rescue, and we will always take into account your expectations, as well as the needs of the pet. Please note that any pets you may own must be spayed/neutered in order to adopt from DARE. As part of the application process, it is possible that a landlord check (if you rent) and/or a vet check (if you own pets) will be necessary.

2. After all checks are completed, we will arrange for you to then meet the pet so you can interact with it and get to know it on a more personal level. If you decide you would like to adopt, we will leave the pet with you for a 2-week trial adoption period. We will be available for any questions or concerns you may have during that time. Rest assured, we will make sure you are comfortable and ready to start the trial adoption period before leaving the pet with you. Remember, it sometimes takes at least two weeks for a pet to become comfortable in his/her new surroundings.

3. At the end of the trial period, if you are happy with the pet, we will complete the adoption process by scheduling a follow-up visit to have you sign the adoption contract and pay the adoption fee of $100. We will provide the pet’s medical records at that time.

4. The adoption fee is usually not refundable after the adoption is finalized. However, there are always exceptions. In rare cases where a medical or behavioral problem may arise that cannot be solved, refunds will be made up to 30 days after the adoption. If a pet should die within 30 days after an adoption, DARE Animal Rescue will refund the adoption fee. We are committed to our rescued animals and will take them back at any time. This is included in our adoption contract as well. We will always be available to address any questions or concerns you may have for the life of the pet. ADOPTION FEE
Our adoption fee of $100 includes:

· Spay or neuter
· Health exam
· Vaccinations
· Deworming
· Heartworm test (dogs)
· Leukemia/Aids test (cats)

All of our pets are up to date on heartworm and flea preventatives.

ONE SQUIRREL CHASER!
Spot is guarding her yard. No squirrel is going to get past her! The squirrels just tease her, running from tree to tree. Spot is obsessed with them. She hasn’t caught one and hopefully she won’t, but she sure loves chasing them. It keeps her in good shape.

In addition to being a number one squirrel chaser, Spot is a champ walking on leash. She also knows her commands: sit, stay, down, and she knows how to shake. Spot also loves to ride in the car. She may love that even more than chasing squirrels.

Spot loves all dogs, big or small. She doesn’t have an aggressive bone in her body. She also likes cats. She’s just a sweet, goofy dog. If you want to bring a little goofy into your life, then Spot is your girl.

If you are interested in Spot please read her bio on our Petfinder page and then submit an application found on our website: dareanimalrescue.com. If you have any questions please let us know.

Several of you have followed Smokey’s story since he came back to us in May of this year.

Unfortunately, we had to make the heartbreaking decision to let him go. They found cancer on top of his other health issues. He never suffered, he was surrounded with love and he snacked on his favorite treats right before we said goodbye. To know Smokey was to love him. He was such a social boy who loved everyone and everyone adored him.

Rest easy you big handsome boy 💙

First, we want to start off by saying we hope everyone is doing well after Hurricane Helene. We have been in full cleanup mode but us and all of our animals are safe. We hope the same for all of you.

Unfortunately, the day before Helene hit we had to make the hard decision to say goodbye to one of our very best boys. Tucker had been with us since DARE started. He was adopted a few times and it was never the right fit. He was in a foster home for the last several years where he really experienced a home and a family. He was happy and he was so very loved. Tucker was always a volunteer favorite and he rarely met a stranger. He will always hold a very special place in our hearts. We wanted to share a few of our favorite pictures of him with everyone, so enjoy.

Rest easy, sweet boy. We miss you 🐾❤️

MEET OUR HANDSOME SENIOR, SMOKEY.

This sweet old guy is full of personality and looking for a loving home to spend his last days, which may be one year or several years. He is doing really good where he is, but he deserves a REAL home. He has so much love to give and just wants to be with someone 24/7.

He was adopted six years ago when he was about six years old and was returned to us a few months ago, which makes him about 12 years old. He had a stressful transition back into our program because of the condition he was in when we got him back. He had to be completely shaved because of all the mats, bless his heart. He was a little embarrassed to lose his beautiful long hair. He also had to be fully vetted. After his labs came back, we found out that he has renal disease. However, his labs are stable now and he’s doing great.

We just want to see Smokey happy and loved for whatever time he has left. We know it will take a very special person to foster a senior cat like Smokey. Because of his age and medical condition, we will cover all food, medical expenses, and whatever else he needs for the rest of his life.

Smokey is a very special cat, extremely affectionate, and never meets a stranger. He can be very playful and loves toys! He always uses his litter box and never messes up the furniture. He’s just a perfect house cat and companion. Smokey needs a home with someone who has plenty of time to lavish him with lots of love and affection. He loves to be brushed and will need to be brushed regularly to prevent any more mats. He will probably do best in a home without another cat. If you meet him you will just love him!

If you are interested in being a long-term foster for Smokey, please message us directly and we will be in touch! Please help us find a final spot to call home for our sweet guy.

TWO BESTIES TRYING TO BEAT THE SUMMER HEAT

These two girls are best friends, and that’s why Spot’s potential adoption is bittersweet. That’s right! We have a potential adopter for Spot! If it all works out, it will be the perfect match for her. She will have another dog, who is her size and energy level, to spend her days with. We are so excited and praying that it works out.

However, that leaves Daisy without her playmate. We knew this day would come, but it doesn’t make it any easier. Daisy is still looking for her forever home, and she would love another dog to play with. She is such an incredible dog

Talk about a before and after!

We found Mickey skin and bones, burnt paw pads to the point it was painful for her to walk, extremely skinny, skin infection all over but all she wanted was wanted love. She walked right up to us and started snacking on a McDonalds cheeseburger, that’s where she got her name. She rode on one of our shoulders all the way to the vet and was just content and happy to be saved and warm.

As you can see in the last picture she is thriving now! A little chunky but still the incredibly sweet and thankful girl just like she was the day we found her. She’s around 6-7 years old and SO full of life. She’s playful and hilarious but also independent and content to nap in sun spots and do her own thing. She just likes to be near you. This girl deserves a great home to live out the rest of her years. Do you have room in your home for her?

If you are interested in adoption please go to our website and submit an application, that is the first step in our process. Please let us know if you have any questions about our Mickey girl!
