Temperament:  VERY sweet, affectionate, quiet, excellent temperament Energy level:  low Groom needs:  low maintenance Biography:  This little girl wandered up to the back porch of a home in a very rural area in Bossier.  She was emaciated, cold and had milk as if she was nursing puppies somewhere.  The property and barn were searched but no puppies were found.  The momma dog never left the back porch.  We could only assume that either she was dumped and the people kept the puppies or her puppies died somewhere.  We think maybe she was trying to find food which is why she ended up at the home because she was just skin on bones. Dumping a domestic animal is illegal but people do it all the time… and in the matter of one week, we took in two dogs from that area that had been abandoned.   Dirty Bones was the other and he was at the other end of Deen Point by Veterans Parkway.   Both are very lucky to be alive.   The caretaker of the elderly person who lived in the home, reached out to us.  We went to the property and yes, it was in the middle of nowhere...  just pastures and cows.  She was very skittish and didn't understand why we were putting her in a kennel, but she settled down.  We didn't have room at the time so we reached out to our partners at Bossier City Animal Control and they were able to take her in.  We knew at some point she would get out after stray hold.  The following week, I (Ninna) went to BCAC to take pictures of the dogs for the Buddies of Bossier City Animal Control Facebook page... and there she was.  She was laying down in her kennel but stood up when I approached.  I think maybe she remembered me.  I knelt down gave her kisses... and some treats I had in my pocket... took my pictures and left.  I couldn't get her out of my mind, though... so I texted the superintendent and asked if I could pull her because we did have a couple of adoptions and she said "yes".    Now that she’s been with us for a while, she’s really come out of her shell.   She is very affectionate, responsive, sweet and friendly.  She gets along with all the dogs and loves people.  She’s very quiet.  We haven’t heard a peep out of her except for a low whine when she was in quarantine in a kennel when she would see someone.  Life just got a whole lot better for this little girl.  No more puppies… and no more being abandoned.  Next up… she’s just waiting on her furever home to continue what we started.  If that’s you, we welcome your application!   **WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW** *We do adopt out of state provided the adopter is willing and able to travel to us once approved.  We do not ship or transport our animals and there is no exception to this rule.   *Most of our adoptable dogs are small, and they are never to be left outside alone, ever!  We only rehome our dogs to adopters that plan to have them as inside dogs and part of the family!   We do allow adopters with doggie doors, provided there is SECURE fencing and the dog is over 15 pounds.  There is no exception to this rule!   *PREDATORS:    IF THIS DOG IS UNDER 10 POUNDS, the dog is to be monitored and protected when outside at all times!  PREDATOR-THREAT IS A REAL DANGER!  For example, a hawk tried to pick up a Chihuahua owned by a friend visiting Ninna’s house… RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE VISITOR.  Thankfully the visitor was watching the dog and the hawk was wrestled off of the Chihuahua but it did require an ER visit and she is was very lucky to survive.   TAKE IT SERIOUSLY!     *NO SMALL CHILDREN!!  As with almost all the dogs at NR2R, young children or a very active household is not recommended.   Many of our dogs come to us BECAUSE of small children, thus we do not rehome our dogs to homes with babies or young children.  KEEP THIS IN MIND IF YOU HAVE VISITING GRANDCHILDREN AS WELL!  Even if the children are older, it would depend on the child AND the parent or parents.    *HOUSETRAINING:  We do NOT guarantee that any of our adoptable dogs are housetrained.   While most should be easily trained, keep in mind that they live in a rescue where they have access to the outdoors all day and are inside at night.  Even if they were surrendered to us as housetrained, it doesn’t mean they will automatically be housetrained in your home.  Housetraining them should be easy in the right home with time, patience, and consistency.    *KENNELING:  We always recommend kenneling when you cannot supervise your dog.  This helps with housetraining and any destructive tendencies until you get to know your knew addition.   *We do not guarantee the age, health or temperament of any of the dogs we rehome.  Many of the dogs we take in come from animal control and rarely do we have histories and even when we do, many times the histories are inaccurate.   *Only adopters with a responsible dog ownership history and excellent vet reference need apply.   If you bring this pet into your heart and home, you will receive in return many years of love, companionship, and loyalty.  That’s our guarantee.   Other notes:  This pet is available for adoption through Ninna’s Road to Rescue, Benton, La.  We are 501c3 non-profit organization.  Our mission is to rescue primarily small-breed dogs and to re-home them into RESPONSIBLE and CARING forever homes.    DOG APPLICATION LINK:   http://www.roadtorescuela.org/dog-application Time may be of the essence if you are looking to adopt a specific animal.  We do not reserve animals, unless and until we have approved your application, provided the animal is still available at the time we receive your application.  The first APPROVED application we receive will be considered.  We are NOT a first come, first serve rescue!! We adopt our rescues out to the RIGHT home, not just A home. Only responsible pet owners need apply. Applying to adopt does NOT commit you to the adoption NOR does it guarantee the adoption.
