Adoption fee: $350, 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 and he didn’t come from a home with cats, but he’s the sweetest, most even-tempered little dog so he should be fine.
Vetting and other: altered (spayed/neutered), up-to-date on age-appropriate vaccinations, heartworm negative, fecal negative, on monthly flea/tick and heartworm prevention, professional groom, microchipped
Health issues: none observed.
Temperament: sweet, social and friendly; doesn’t have a lot of confidence around other dogs but he’ll get there. Since coming to the rescue, he will sit and observe the other dogs running around and we look forward to when he will join in!... and he will.
Energy level: low-medium
Groom needs: High; requires regular professional grooming, along with intermittent brushing to avoid matting (our groomer reported he was “SO GOOD” during the groom)
Biography: Marz is an owner-surrender. The primary caretaker, the older son, is heading off to college and the family is gone most of the day. They felt it just wasn't fair to the little guy and through a rescue-friend, we were contacted. First thing we did was send him to the groomer. We didn’t even realize he had a brindle coat. We thought he was solid grey. When the groomer shaved him down… he came back with a stunning, almost merle brindle coat. Here’s what we know about this little guy: His former human had him since he was 8 weeks old. While he is social and friendly, it may take him a minute to warm up to you (which we have discovered). If you have the patience of 5 minutes… he bonds quickly. LOL! At night he slept in a kennel and he does that at our rescue too. He does well with that if needed. He travels well and walks well on a leash. He knows “in” when kenneling. He is responsive, according to his former human, 7 out of 10 times. Typical Shih Tzu. His former owner said he did really well during a groom and our groomer reported the same. Since coming to us, and having never lived around other dogs, he is working on building his confidence. Ideally, he’d do well in a home where there are other dogs because he’s young and other older dogs could teach him the ropes. Since coming to us, he hasn’t barked but he’s a Shih Tzu so you can bank on the fact that there is a bark in there somewhere. He wants a home with hoomans that will love him, pamper him, give him lots of toys (cause everyone knows Shih Tzus will shake the… errr…. stuffing out of some toys!). Marz has an innocence about him that we just all adore. If you want to be his new hooman, adore him, love him and give him a happy home, 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.
