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. Must apply: Application for adoption is located at http://fs19.formsite.com/JeffTarpleyRescue/application/index.html Jeff Tarpley Rescue 903-490-2959 We require all potential adopters to submit an application. We only accept applications for a specific dog you are interested in adopting. We do not keep waiting lists or files of general applications for dogs we might get later. The online application can be found at this location: http://fs19.formsite.com/JeffTarpleyRescue/application/index.html A completed adoption application and, upon approval, an adoption contract is required. Jeff Tarpley Rescue welcomes applications from homeowners, renters, and condo or apartment dwellers. At a minimum, a phone interview will be conducted and a vet reference checked before the applicant may meet their preferred pet. We adopt primarily in the 4 states of the ArkLaTexOma. Applicants willing to travel to Texarkana will also be considered with additional requirements to qualify as approved.

Please read the pet description IN IT'S ENTIRETY before applying.  Thank you for your cooperation. You Tube video link:  https://youtube.com/shorts/3HI6Rb2sDMU   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 Georgina (female) Intake date:  5/11/2026  Chihuahua 3 years old Intake weight:  8.5 pounds Adoption fee:  $170, which includes vetting, microchip Good with other dogs:  yes Cats:  unknown – we do not have cats to be able to test Vetting and other:  x-ray because we thought she may be pregnant (not pregnant);  right rear leg amputated due to old femur break; altered (spayed), up-to-date on age-appropriate vaccinations, heartworm *POSITIVE (read heartworm positive paragraph below); fecal negative (however we did observe tapeworms in her feces and treated her); 6 month Proheart injection (heartworm prevention), on monthly flea/tick prevention, microchipped Health issues:  heartworm positive (read below);   *Heartworm POSITIVE:   Don’t let heartworms discourage you from adopting a heartworm positive dog! We have tons of examples of dogs adopted and then ultimately testing heartworm negative following our instructions!  GEORGINA is on (or has completed) twice a day Doxycycline for 30 days, and he/she has received a 6 month Proheart injection. The Proheart injection releases heartworm prevention into their system continuously for 6 months as opposed to the MONTHLY pill which releases prevention only when first administered. Coupled with Doxycycline, the gentle kill (or slow-kill) method is a safer alternative to the harsh immiticide (arsenic) treatment. The Doxycycline kills bacteria, which heartworms thrive on, thus weakening the heartworms and eventually they will die off, but it could take months and possibly up to two years before (s)he will be heartworm free. The 6 month Proheart injection kills any heartworm larvae and sterilizes the adult heartworms so they no longer reproduce. While the “gentle kill” or “slow kill” method does take longer than traditional harsh veterinary treatment, we prefer this method because there is less risk, it is not as harsh on the dog and the dog does not have to be confined for up to two months during the treatment. We recommend the dog receives another 30 day course of Doxycycline when s(he) receives their next Proheart injection (6 months from the first injection). After one year, we recommend the dog be retested for heartworms.  If positive, continue the Doxycycline every 6 months along with the Proheart injection.  If negative, continue with regular heartworm prevention (Proheart injection or monthly pill or topical) just like you would do for any heartworm negative dog.  If negative, discontinue the Doxycycline regimen.  We do require that any interested adopters understand heartworms. They must also agree to continue our method of treatment or, if they wish, they can opt for traditional veterinary treatment; however they cannot choose to do nothing and we do require an agreement/contract be signed that the adopter will continue with a plan to rid him/her of the heartworms. We highly recommend that you discuss this with your veterinarian BEFORE applying (better yet, show this write-up to your vet) as some vets will ONLY do the traditional veterinary treatment... (which is poison).  (Note:  Heartworms are not contagious from dog-to-dog or by any other means OTHER THAN a bite from an infected mosquito.  That is the only way dogs get heartworms and the only way to protect them is through prevention.)   Temperament:  VERY sweet, VERY social, VERY friendly. Energy level:  medium Groom needs:  low maintenance Biography:  Georgina came to us from animal control.   Someone saw her clipped by a car and took her to Valor and Valor connected her to animal control.  We were notified about her and took her in.  When we took her to our vet, though, the x-ray showed a broken femur, BUT it was an old break.   Evidently, the recent car impact did not break the leg.  Sadly, she hasn't had the best home because if she has an old break that was never addressed, is heartworm positive, covered in fleas, has tapeworms...  and was running loose... they either didn't care or for whatever other reason couldn't take care of her.  It's best that someone found her and she can now find a good home that will take care of her.  Her personality is NEXT LEVEL!  She's so sweet and just a little social butterfly.  She has the type of temperament that dogs don't feel threatened by her... sort of like an innocence about her.  She's going to make someone so happy!    **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.

She was left in a crate behind Randy Sam's Shelter and Texas side ACO took possession of her.

She is a precious baby who is being vetted so she can find her furever home :) Is it yours?

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
