Maltese puppies and dogs in Marshall, Texas

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.

(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 Lisbon (female) Intake date:  7/27/2026 Maltese/ Chihuahua mix 4 years old Intake weight:  11.0 pounds Adoption fee:  $200, which includes vetting, microchip Good with other dogs:  yes Cats:  yes (they lived in a home with cats) Vetting and other:  altered (spayed), up-to-date on age-appropriate vaccinations, heartworm negative, fecal negative, treated for fleas, tapeworms (potential since they had so many fleas), ears flushed and treated (vet indicated that her left ear drum appears to be ruptured); heart murmur (left side grade 2-3/6 - no medication required at this time); on monthly flea/tick and heartworm prevention, microchipped  Health issues:  skin and coat thin and yeasty with lichenification (leathery patches due to scratching);  most seems to be from fleas but she may have some allergy related skin issues as well, which may need addressing from time-to-time. Temperament:  very sweet, quiet, shy Energy level:  low-medium Groom needs:  medium maintenance;  may require professional grooming from time-to-time  Biography:   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 and Lisbon has leathery patches due to long-term scratching.  Lisbon does great in a kennel if needed and walks well on a leash.  She gets along with all the dogs and in fact, all three came in like they'd been with us forever.  Some things we were told about her:   "She is half-sister to Swilly - they have the same dad.  She seems to be rejected by other dogs."  (When we read that, we thought that was really sad... HOWEVER, we haven't found that to the be the case, so we do feel it may be due to the environment she was living in).  "She slept under the covers at the foot of the bed."     Lisbon would love a home where she is adored and loved;  a quiet and peaceful home, just like she is.  If that's you, we welcome your application.    **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.

We have had Hynes for 10 years. He belongs to my son, but he was unable to move with him. I travel for work while dealing with medical treatment that takes a lot of my time away from the house. We are saddened for it to come to this, but he deserves the best life!Hynes is sweet, cuddly and never meets a stranger. He loves laying in the grass under the sun, belly rubs, long walks and chicken is his favorite food. He can be skiddish and hates car rides. He also isn't crazy about toys and prefers human interaction and play.He will need a space that he can go to when oversrimulated or when he is done peopling. Oh, and he likes to steal your blankets to nap with.
