INSTRUCTIONS TO APPLY:

PLEASE read profile thoroughly BEFORE applying:

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

Fisher (male)

Intake date:   10/4/2024

Maltese/Poodle mix

Approx. 8 years as of 2024

8.6 pounds

Adoption fee:  $170, 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), dental performed, up-to-date on age-appropriate vaccinations, heartworm negative, fecal negative (but we did notice tapeworms on intake and did treat him for tapes), on monthly flea/tick and heartworm prevention, professional groom, microchipped

Health issues:  none found.

Temperament:  shy at first, but does come around quickly and is social and friendly

Energy level:  medium

Groom needs:  High;  requires regular professional grooming, along with intermittent brushing to avoid matting;  our groomer reported that he did well but panicked when she got to his face

Biography:   Fisher came to us from a municipal shelter.  He was a hot mess, unkept, fleas, matted, etc.  He went to the vet and then to our groomer and now he’s in perfect shape ready for his responsible, furever home.  Fisher does great in a kennel and walks so-so on a leash.  He is spunky and gets along with everyone.   He does panic a bit when you go to pick him up as if he’s not really used to a lot of handling.  He doesn't try to bite or anything but he will climb you like a tree.  LOL!   Once he realizes you’re safe, he does calm down.  If you’re looking for your new BFF, 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.  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.
