INSTRUCTIONS TO APPLY:

PLEASE read profile thoroughly BEFORE applying:

DOG APPLICATION LINK:    http://www.roadtorescuela.org/dog-application

Havana (female)

Intake date:  9/11/2024  

Papillon/ JRT mix

Approx 10 years old

10.10 pounds

Adoption fee:  $125, which includes vetting, microchip

Good with other dogs:  yes

Cats:  unknown – we do not have cats to be able to test

Vetting and other:  CBC (bloodwork performed – somewhat anemic); x-rays to make sure tumors hadn’t metastasized (negative); two mammary tumors excised (malignant - grade 1 mammary carcinoma;  margins clear;  7.1% chance of recurrence);  spayed, ears flushed, dental performed (3 extractions), up-to-date on age-appropriate vaccinations, heartworm negative, fecal negative, on monthly flea/tick and heartworm prevention, microchipped

Health issues:  on-set of cataract in left eye;  malignant tumors excised (see comments under vetting above); right rear leg – some limping (could be knee or hip issues – we won’t have surgery performed due to her age and it’s likely been that way for some time and she bears weight on the leg)

Temperament:  very sweet, social and friendly – social butterfly

Energy level:  medium

Groom needs:  medium;  her coat is wiry and wavy and may need a pro-groom from time-to-time but she’s so cute with the shaggy look!

Biography:  Havana came in with Piccolo from Caddo Parish Animal Services.  They, along with two other dogs, were surrendered as strays, brought in via a large wire kennel.  She had not been taken care of that is for sure!  She wasn’t spayed, had two large mammary tumors, needed a dental desperately, and the nails on some of her paws were over an inch long!  Now that this girl has been fully vetted and healed and released from quarantine, her personality has come out in full force!  What a sweetheart!  She is social and friendly and always looks like she’s so happy!  She does fine in a kennel if needed and walks well on a leash.   She doesn’t meet a stranger whether you’re two legged or four legged!  We know that whoever is lucky enough to adopt this girl will not regret it.  She will bring a lot of joy to any household. 

 

**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.  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.
