Dachshund puppies and dogs in Atlanta, Texas

Happy is a female tan with white mix breed we were told dachshund/beagle but the short ears came from somewhere! She is 1.5 years old and she weighs about 26 pounds. Happy is spayed and vaccinated including rabies. Happy is heartworm negative and on monthly heartworm preventive. Happy is ready for adoption. Happy was surrendered to animal control because her family said she was being picked on by other dogs in the home and she was fearful. Happy does get very nervous about some things, like cars going by, but she has not been fearful nor aggressive with dogs. She is also fine with humans given a little warming up time. Happy’s favorite things are food, food, and treats. We think you can teach her anything with food and consistency. Happy enjoys playtime outside especially if you stay outside with her. She also enjoys leash walks but does better on a path or trail than along a busy street. Happy knows her name. She is crate trained and potty trained. We think Hqppy will thrive with a predictable routine and home life. She is not a girl to love change and adventure. Happy would do best with a fenced back yard or regular quiet leash walks. Adoption fee is $200.

She suffered a broken pelvis in 3 different places but never let it slow her down. She is friendly once she gets to know you and loves to play with her toys. She healed after crate rest and pain meds and then was spayed. She will soon be undergoing heart worm treatment then will be available to adopt. She needs a quiet loving home. She would do best as an only dog so she can get all the attention. LOL. doesn't do very well around children. We are almost positive she was abused before she came to us because she shows signs of having been abused when interacting with her. She is slowly learning to trust people again.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.March 12, 2026, 3:29 pm

Please read the pet description IN IT'S ENTIRETY before applying.  Thank you for your cooperation.   You Tube video link:  https://youtube.com/shorts/L3akco8d--A   FOR ADOPTION!   Note:  Only those with a responsible dog ownership history and excellent vet reference need apply. (For more pics, visit nr2r.petfinder.com or www.RoadtoRescueLA.org) INSTRUCTIONS TO APPLY: PLEASE read profile thoroughly BEFORE applying: DOG APPLICATION LINK:     http://www.roadtorescuela.org/dog-application Lumi (male) Intake date:  10/16/2026 Maltese/ Dachshund Approx DOB 2/16/2026 Intake weight:  8.8 pounds Adoption fee:  $325, which includes vetting, microchip   Good with other dogs:  yes Cats:  yes, they also lived with cats   Vetting and other:  CBC (bloodwork done), altered (neutered), up-to-date on age-appropriate vaccinations, heartworm negative, fecal negative, treated for ear mites and ear hair plucked, on monthly flea/tick and heartworm prevention, professional groom, microchipped   Health issues:  none observed.   Temperament:  a little shy at first, very sweet, social, friendly once comfy - great little temperament.   Energy level:  medium   Groom needs:  medium maintenance;  requires occasional professional grooming, along with intermittent brushing to avoid matting   Biography:  We took in thirteen dogs (10 dogs and 3 puppies) from animal control after they were seized due to neglect.  They all had ear mites and fleas and none were spayed or neutered.   All the dogs are friendly.  Some are shier than others.  We don't believe they had a lot of handling because when we pick them up, they stiffen up... some more than others.  They lived in individual pet carriers much of their life.  We are thankful they are out of that situation and now can go on to lead happy, healthy lives with new families.  Since we have so many that all pretty much look alike, we are posting them in batches.  YOU MUST APPLY for a specific dog.  Because these dogs will be popular, you can't just apply for "a Maltese".  If you're approved and the one you applied for is reserved... we'll advise you which ones are left and you can choose from the remaining.  Their personalities are virtually all the same.  The only differences may be the weight and age... which are all very close as well.   **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 new 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. CONTACT:  Our adoptable pets are updated regularly, but if you want to check the availability of a pet... OR still have questions AFTER reading this profile, message us via our Facebook page.   Please indicate the name when communicating with us. www.RoadtoRescueLA.org    “The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated.”  ~ Gandhi Be responsible ~  Always spay/neuter, keep your dogs on heartworm prevention, vaccinate against disease... and if you bring a pet into your life, commit to that pet for life.  Blessings.
