Adoption fee: $400, which includes vetting, microchip
Benefactor Dog: When we have a popular dog, we dub them a “Benefactor Dog”. A Benefactor Dog will have an above average adoption fee. In other words, for OTHER dogs where the adoption fee is minimal or waived due to age, health or some other reason (although we’ve likely spent hundreds and sometimes thousands of dollars) a Benefactor dog will help us somewhat make up the shortfall. If this dog has an above-average adoption fee, she/he is a Benefactor Dog.
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 (he didn’t come in with a history of vaccinations, so we do recommend he get at least two more parvo/distemper vaccinations to be fully protected), heartworm negative, fecal negative, on monthly flea/tick and heartworm prevention, microchipped
Health issues: none found.
Temperament: very sweet, all puppy, doesn’t meet a stranger
Energy level: medium-high; he’s still a puppy but he’s not hyper and does well when kenneled
Groom needs: low
Biography: Rolf is an owner-surrender. The people did not have a fence and when Rolf got an opportunity, he was gone. In May, he was struck by a vehicle. His people took him to the ER clinic. The X-ray revealed both his radius and ulna were broken on both front legs. He was casted and thankfully both legs/paws healed completely. You wouldn’t even know this just happened in May! His people just could not go through that again. We were contacted and took him in.
A few things we know about him or were told about him:
He rings a hanging bell at the back door when he has to go potty.
He is friendly and social.
He’s good with other dogs but we’re not sure about cats.
At night he sleeps in the bed with one of the humans in the home or on the couch. At the rescue, he’s been kenneled and does fine in a kennel.
He can get nervous at first when traveling but does settle down.
He walks pretty well on a leash but does pull and would do well with more leash training.
He knows “sit” and “lay down”.
If he gets away from you, he will not listen to come back. He is very responsive when inside.
He’s still a puppy so you’ll have to watch things around him. His favorite thing is toilet paper but he will chew anything if left for him. We recommend daily exercise and maybe even daycare for this little guy.
He does ok during bad weather and fireworks.
He does fine during a bath.
Ideally, Rolf would love a home that understands he is a puppy and who can handle his puppiness. This means if you are a couch potato and aren’t interested in walking a dog or playing with a dog, Rolf is not the dog for you. Rolf would do well with other dogs to play with and if you don’t have other dogs, we recommend daycare for exercise and socialization. It’s important to socialize a young dog with people and other dogs. If you have what it takes to give Rolf a good and happy home, we welcome your application!
PUPPIES!
Keep in mind, puppies teeth just like human babies and have little sharp toenails. They will also have behaviors that require training. Puppies will cry, chew, bite, mouth, nip, bark, destroy, dig, scratch, etc. The puppy phase lasts about 18 months (sometimes longer), so be sure you ARE READY for the commitment! Don't even think about applying if you have any doubts about raising a puppy... and don't expect children to take care of the puppy... because they won't! This needs to be an adult decision and an adult commitment.
COMMITMENT: Puppies are a 10-15 year commitment (sometimes longer). Please be sure you are prepared for the life of the puppy! In conclusion, if your puppy is in a responsible home that provides daily structure, training and socialization with people and other pets, your puppy will grow to be a well-adjusted and wonderful part of your family for many years to come.
**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.
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.
