Story
Pretty Girl is a 15-year-old Maltese with a heart full of love and a gentle soul that's hoping for one more chance at happiness. After losing her family, this sweet senior found herself looking for a new place to call home. While life has brought some changes, Pretty Girl hasn't lost her loving spirit. She enjoys spending time with people and gets along well with her social group of dog friends. Pretty Girl has cataracts that affect her vision and some hearing loss, but she doesn't let that stop her from enjoying the comforts of a caring home. What she needs most is a kind family willing to offer patience, love, and a cozy spot to rest her little head. At her age, Pretty Girl isn't looking for grand adventures. She's looking for quiet companionship, gentle affection, and the security of knowing she's loved.

Story
Please read the pet description IN IT'S ENTIRETY before applying.  Thank you for your cooperation. NOT YET TAKING APPLICATIONS – NOT YET AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION NEW INTAKE 7/27/2026:  Lisbon - female - 4 years old - 11.0 pounds - Maltese/ Chihuahua mix Reason for intake:  Lisbon came to us with Swilly and Pershing.  Their 89-year-old owner couldn't care for them any longer.  It was really a sad situation.  She once was able to take great care of her pets, but age and finances have kept her from doing that for several years.  They had lots of fleas and missing hair as a result from scratching.  They are all spayed/neutered but do need vaccinations, heartworm tested, fecals, etc.  They were clearly very loved.  We will be posting them for adoption soon.   NOT TAKING APPLICATIONS:  Many dogs, particularly breeder, hoarder or senior dogs, can have multiple medical issues that need addressed.  Additionally, sometimes we take in young puppies requiring multiple vaccinations and/or quarantining.   In this particular case, we are not yet taking applications either due to age or possible illness or some other reason.  We will post when s(he) is ready for adoption.  In the interest of fairness, EARLY application submissions will NOT be considered.  Please note…  we cannot respond to messages/emails, etc., on dogs that are NOT yet available for adoption.  Please wait until the dog is available for adoption.  We will post him or her on Facebook in our Adoptable Dog Album pinned to the top of our page which you can follow at this link:  https://www.facebook.com/share/1B46skRWF5/ OR you can keep checking our website at www.roadtorescuela.org.  We appreciate your cooperation and understanding. “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.

Hi, I’m Boudreaux — the sweetest little dude you’ll ever meet!I had a really rough start in life, but I’m learning what love and comfort feel like thanks to all the TLC I’ve been getting. I’m an independent guy who loves belly rubs, walks around the block, and spending time with my people.I’m great with kids and other pets too, so I’d fit right in with a loving family. I’m truly a rescue in every sense of the word, and now I’m ready to find my forever home and my forever buddy.All I really want is someone to love me as much as I’ll love them back.________________________________________________If you would like to meet one of our adoptables or learn more about them, please submit an application at https://animalrescueneworleans.org/adoptfoster/.**Note: Our shelter is open by scheduled appointment only after your application is approved.
