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 Tonga (male) Intake date: 4/9/2026 Lhasa Apso Approx 12+ years old 9.2 pounds Adoption fee: $waived – hospice adoption Good with other dogs: yes Cats: yes Vetting: Neutered, heart murmur 5/6, tumor removals (could not remove all tumors on back due to not enough skin to cover), dental, right eye enucleation, treated for tapeworms, UTD on shots, heartworm negative, fecal negative (tapes not found during fecal exam but found later in stool), professional groom, on monthly flea/tick and heartworm prevention, microchipped Health issues: grade 5/6 heart murmur (not currently on meds) Temperament: very sweet, calm, quiet, no drama Energy level: low – give her a soft bed or lap and she’s good to go Groom needs: High; requires professional grooming as needed Biography: Tonga came to us from animal control in horrible condition. We've addressed quite a few issues with him to give him a more quality of life but due to his age, his heart murmur and his poor condition on intake, his life span is limited and uncertain at this point. For that reason, we are posting him as a hospice adoption. What this means for you is that there is no adoption fee but you agree to feed him (he is picky so whatever he will ... let him eat), shelter him, keep him on heartworm prevention and love and care for him. He is very quiet and unless there's food that he loves, he pretty-much sleeps or enjoys basking in the sun with supervision from us. Life has been pretty sucky for this little guy. We want for him for however long he has left, that he lives his best life. **IMPORTANT NOTES** *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. *All 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. There is no exception to this rule! *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. *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 small-breed dogs and a handful of cats 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.
