Temperament:  very sweet, social and friendly.  Energy level:  low-medium Groom needs:  High;  requires regular professional grooming.  She did need a body shave-down due to matting.    Biography:  Lava is a breeder release with Micro via a rescue friend.  Lava wasn’t as in bad condition as Micro.  She is social and friendly and clearly has had a lot of human interaction.  She’s also had a lot of litters in her life.  She does fine in a kennel if needed and walks pretty decent on a leash.  We love her and so will you!  If you’d like to bring this sweet girl into your heart and home, we welcome your application!   Below is a paragraph to help you understand breeder dogs:   (This may or may not be typical of this particular dog.)   Some retired breeder dogs or dogs that have come from a hoard situation are different than your typical dog that have grown up in a home.  Many don’t understand human affection, touch, handling or even being picked up.  Some may have only been picked up by the nape of the neck as you would lift a puppy.   They typically don’t understand a leash or the sights and sounds of a home.   Many have spent their entire lives in a kennel and/or in a nasty environment and many have only lived outdoors.  They are used to eating, sleeping, defecating and urinating in their kennel or wherever.  In some breeder operations, the dogs are hosed down while in their kennels.  Many breeder dogs spin when anxious, nervous, afraid or even happy because they are used to being only in a kennel with limited mobility.  It may take months or years before they can overcome their past.  In some cases, they really never do… but they can learn to accept your love and affection.  If you love doggie kisses, you may never get one… but you can teach them to kiss by offering a treat for a kiss.   These dogs aren’t broken, they just need someone with a big enough heart, the time, the patience and enough compassion to help them navigate their new world.  These dogs are not for everyone and it’s important to us that we find them the RIGHT home, not just a home.   **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.   *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.  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.    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.

(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 Micro (male) Intake date:   4/18/2024 Pekingese Approx 2 years old 22.2 pounds Adoption fee:  $150, which includes vetting, microchip Good with other dogs:  yes Cats:  unknown – we do not have cats to be able to test Vetting and other:  altered (spayed/neutered), up-to-date on age-appropriate vaccinations, heartworm negative, fecal positive for hookworms (treated, retested and cleared), shave-down, on monthly flea/tick and heartworm prevention, microchipped Health issues:  none found. Temperament:  very sweet, but scared, not used to human touch;  may panic if spooked – needs adopter committed to helping him learn his new life (he’s already come so far while with us) Energy level:  low-medium Groom needs:  High;  requires regular professional grooming, along with intermittent brushing to avoid matting (When he came to us, he was HEAVILY MATTED… with thick mats glued to his skin with urine, feces and who knows what else.  We wanted to save his mane and tail so we worked to brush out with a razor comb all the matting and he really seemed to enjoy it.  We shaved down what we could of the matting but the parts that were glued to his skin, we let the vet handle while he was sedated for neutering.  It wasn’t that he was fighting us, because he wasn’t… it was that they were so glued to the skin, we were afraid we would hurt him… so we stopped and let the vet handle it.) Biography:  Micro is a breeder release with Lava via a rescue friend.  This poor guy came to us in such bad shape but look at him now!  What a difference.  Micro has spent his entire life as a breeder dog and his new chapter began the day we took him in.   He is very shy and if in a situation where he gets spooked, he will panic.  When he first came to us, he would alligator roll on the leash but if you watch the video, that has changed.  It’s likely he’s not had much human contact in his life but that changed the day he came to us.  We recommend a lot of leash walking, handling, petting, treating, etc., because that is what is going to bond him to you.   What we have found over the years with dogs like Micro is that once they get in a home with one person who is committed to their happiness and enriching their life, these dogs come out of their shells.  He may never be one to give you kisses but we believe he will begin to snuggle and want to be near you.  We see it time and time again with breeder dogs.  Even some of our own volunteers have adopted dogs like Micro and we see what happens once they are in a home but it does take time and patience.  Micro does fine in a kennel and in fact, providing him a place to go if he needs space would be a good thing.  You can even leave the kennel door open so he can come and go.    Below is a paragraph to help you understand breeder dogs:   (This may or may not be typical of this particular dog.)   Some retired breeder dogs or dogs that have come from a hoard situation are different than your typical dog that have grown up in a home.  Many don’t understand human affection, touch, handling or even being picked up.  Some may have only been picked up by the nape of the neck as you would lift a puppy.   They typically don’t understand a leash or the sights and sounds of a home.   Many have spent their entire lives in a kennel and/or in a nasty environment and many have only lived outdoors.  They are used to eating, sleeping, defecating and urinating in their kennel or wherever.  In some breeder operations, the dogs are hosed down while in their kennels.  Many breeder dogs spin when anxious, nervous, afraid or even happy because they are used to being only in a kennel with limited mobility.  It may take months or years before they can overcome their past.  In some cases, they really never do… but they can learn to accept your love and affection.  If you love doggie kisses, you may never get one… but you can teach them to kiss by offering a treat for a kiss.   These dogs aren’t broken, they just need someone with a big enough heart, the time, the patience and enough compassion to help them navigate their new world.  These dogs are not for everyone and it’s important to us that we find them the RIGHT home, not just a home.   If you think you can help Micro and change his life, we welcome your application.  Note:  He’s really captured all of our hearts so you’ll have to be pretty special to adopt him.      **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.   *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.  There is no exception to this rule!
