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 Geostorm (female) Intake date: 11/13/2025 Havanese/ Poodle mix Approx 7 years old Current weight: 13.0 pounds (original intake weight: 14.8) 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: When Geostorm went to the vet to be spayed, she was opened up only to find she was pregnant – the vet closed her back up and she delivered 5 pups on Dec 18 (pups were pulled due to her not producing any milk); altered (spayed), up-to-date on age-appropriate vaccinations, heartworm negative, fecal negative, 6 month Proheart injection (heartworm prevention on 12/22/25 – next due 6/22/26), on monthly flea/tick prevention, professional groom, microchipped Health issues: none observed. Temperament: very sweet, loving, cuddle-bug – wants to be with her human, would make perfect lap dog companion Energy level: low-medium Groom needs: high maintenance; requires regular professional grooming, along with intermittent brushing to avoid matting Biography: Geostorm came in with Pollywag from Caddo Parish Animal Services. We don’t know why they were there but they were clearly not cared for. Both turned out to be pregnant… both were INFESTED with fleas. They were horribly matted and in horrible shape. Pollywag tested heartworm positive too. Thank goodness at least Geostorm is heartworm negative. Geostorm delivered 5 pups on December 18th. Sadly, she had no milk to nurse them. We pulled them from her and gave them to Pollywag who had already delivered her pups but she didn’t have enough to sustain all of them. We lost two pups within a day of delivery. We pulled the remaining three and sent to foster with Ninna (2 pups) and Diana (1 pup). We lost the female being fostered by Diana on Christmas Eve. Diana then took one of the males to help Ninna out. The remaining two are struggling to gain weight despite being hearty eaters and being fed every three hours around the clock. We hope they will turn the corner soon. Now, back to Geostorm. Poor Geostorm… pulling her pups was sad. She definitely stressed over it and we hated doing it, but they stood no chance staying with her. She is slowly trying to get back to normal but it’s still a struggle since Pollywag is in the Mutternity Ward nursing her pups. We keep Geostorm from the building but she knows there are puppies in there (even though they aren’t hers). Geostorm does fine in a kennel so long as she CAN’T hear or see you. She will bark until you let her out. She would do best to sleep in the bed with her person. She walks pretty well on a leash as you can see from the video. We also think she’d probably be easily housetrained because her kennel is usually always clean and she waits to potty until she goes outside. Still, we never guarantee a dog is housetrained because going from the rescue to a home will take some training to show the dog the outdoors and for them to learn a new schedule. Ideally, we want a home where the human is home more often than not because as we said above, Geostorm wants to be with her person. She has some separation anxiety (barking only) which may subside once she’s in a home and knows her person is there for her. She’s a great dog looking for her human soul mate. She’ll give you lots of cuddles every day to reward you for giving her a furever home! **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.
