Maltese puppies and dogs in Louisiana

This adorable 2.5 year old Maltipoo weighs just 14.5 lbs but somehow he carries an enormous amount of love in that little body. The moment you pick him up Auggie melts into your arms like he has been waiting his whole life for someone to hold him. Auggie has an almost magical empathy about him. He seems to know when you need a little extra comfort and he’s more than happy to be there for you. Stressed? Auggie is listening. Hard day? Auggie has a hug ready. Need someone to sit beside you without asking questions or expecting anything in return? Auggie’s got you. He lives for closeness and connection. He wants to be your shadow, your cuddle buddy, your quiet companion and the sweet soul who reminds you that sometimes the best therapy comes with four paws and a heartbeat. 🥹 Auggie is ready to be there for you through the good days, the bad days, and every ordinary day in between. $350

Please read the pet description IN IT'S ENTIRETY before applying.  Thank you for your cooperation. STRAY - NOT YET TAKING APPLICATIONS – NOT YET AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION NEW INTAKE 11/1/2026:  male - approx 5 years old - weight TBD - Maltese/Poodle X Found wandering around apartments off of Patzman in Shreveport.  He'd been around there for a few days and no one knew where he came from.  One of the residents took pictures of him and posted him on-line where we were tagged a few times.  We went out to get him, but he eluded us the first time... so, we gave our phone number to the lady at the apartments and within about an hour, she called that they got him and he is contained... so we headed back out!  He is in terrible shape...  extremely matted all over this body... paws, ears, back... everywhere is like one big mat.  He is not chipped or neutered.  WE have the dog AND we are contacting animal control so they can register him in their system. If this is your dog you must CONTACT US for reclaiming instructions. Message our Facebook page.   There will be fines levied by animal control that will need to be paid upon reclamation. Stray will be up Thursday 11/3/2026 at 4pm. We are sending him to our groomer tomorrow to take care of the matting that is clearly causing him pain and discomfort. For reference, we named him Fozzle. WE DO NOT TAKE APPLICATIONS FOR DOGS ON STRAY HOLD.  When stray hold is up, he will be vetted and then we will then POST the dog for adoption at which time you can apply. “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.

You Tube video link:  https://youtube.com/shorts/FNHHCoHWQ-E   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 Dubendorf (male) Intake date:  10/14/2026 Maltese 1 years old Intake weight:  7.2 pounds Adoption fee:  $325, which includes vetting, microchip   Good with other dogs:  yes Cats:  yes, they also lived with cats   Vetting and other:  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:  high maintenance;  requires regular 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.
