About this Dog
Rachel: certified drama queen turned emotional support potato. She started her glow-up by shredding her potty pad—not out of stress, but because apparently, destruction is her love language. Tossing it in the air like confetti? A+ entertainment. And once she decided the humans might not be out to ruin her life, she let me sneak in a quick pet… as long as I didn’t make eye contact. Classic Rachel. Then came the big moment—into my lap she went, trembling like a chihuahua in a snowstorm, only to fall asleep like I was the world's most boring Netflix show. Progress! That night she shocked everyone by sleeping through without peeing, pooping, or protest. If you knew her track record, you’d be asking what alien replaced our mess-making gremlin. And then—drumroll please—she peed outside for the first time. Not exactly Olympic gold, but in Rachel Land, it’s a huge win. She now follows Tyson, resident pup, like a little shadow, copying his every move, including bathroom breaks. Honestly, she thinks he’s the cool older sibling and we’re just her weird landlords. She’s also discovered she has opinions now. Crate her? Expect sassy barks. Leave her alone in the bathroom? Prepare for protest vocals. But let her cuddle with Tyson? Pure bliss. Don’t get too confident though—she’ll bounce around like a happy maniac with the dog pack, but try approaching her solo and she remembers she’s made of anxiety and secrets. Still, she’ll sneak in for treats if she thinks you aren’t paying attention. Classic Rachel move. Rachel has a soft soul. She needs a quiet home without chaos to help her continue to build her confidence. Her ideal home would have very little time of confinement away from her humans. She is a snuggler at night with her human, once she starts to trust, and she LOVES to cuddle up with other dogs on the softest bedding she can find. She’s not quite ready for center stage, but our shy little chaos goblin is coming into her own. Slow and steady wins the race—and she’s at least facing the right direction now. RachelLeighCook is from Texas. If you are interested in getting to know this animal better, please fill out an adoption application. An adoption application is the best way to show your interest in an animal and is not a binding contract. To learn more about Ruff Start’s adoption process and the care our foster animals receive, please visit our How to Adopt page. *Rescue puppies are notorious for losing their birth certificates before entering our rescue. We cannot guarantee the breed or size they will be full grown.* If you are unable to adopt but want to help this animal and others in our care, you can donate to support the medical and veterinary needs of all Ruff Start Rescue animals.

Adopt RachelLeighCook and Receive RachelLeighCook's Fund
Adopting a pet can be expensive, and we're trying to help by fundraising for each individual in need of adoption. After verifying the adoption, RachelLeighCook's new family will receive the funds that their pet has raised.
$0.0 is RachelLeighCook's current balance
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. If you adopted the RachelLeighCook, thank you for providing a home and a loving family!
Please begin the process of claiming RachelLeighCook's contribution here.
For adoptions in which nokillnetwork.org was the matchmaker and we have contact information for both parties, we make every effort to contact the adopting family. For adoptions that were not facilitated by nokillnetwork.org, we still encourage the adopting family to claim the contribution by submitting the necessary information.
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. The adopting family will be required to provide proof of adoption between 4-6 weeks after adoption. This is to ensure that the home is a good match and RachelLeighCook was not returned. After we have verified the adoption, RachelLeighCook’s balance will be sent to the adopting family. Our staff provides instructions and help throughout this process.
We want the RachelLeighCook’s balance to go to the adopting family as a way to say thank you for providing a loving home and to help with pet care expenses. In the unfortunate event we cannot contact them and verify the adoption, RachelLeighCook’s balance will remain in our general fund. This fund may be used to match contributions made to other adoptable pets, incentify other adoption-related actions, promote our mission, or support the operating expenses of nokillnetwork.org. If you would like to make a direct contribution to nokillnetwork.org to help us help other pets in need, you can go here. We appreciate your generosity and help!
