NOT YET TAKING APPLICATIONS – NOT YET AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION NEW INTAKE 1/9/2026:  Roseanne - female - 10 years old - 13.01 (fluffy) pounds - Chihuahua Reason for intake:  Roseanne came to us when, sadly, her owner passed away Christmas Eve.  She's the SWEETEST little girl.  She's already spayed, but she does have a hernia and needs a dental and other things, so she's heading to our vet the week of January 12.  The family sent a letter with a lot of details about this little girl and we'll put all of that in her adoption profile.  Stay tuned! NOT TAKING APPLICATIONS:  Many dogs, particularly breeder, hoarder or senior dogs, can have multiple medical issues that need addressed.  Additionally, sometimes we take in young puppies requiring multiple vaccinations and/or quarantining.   In this particular case, we are not yet taking applications either due to age or possible illness or some other reason.  We will post when s(he) is ready for adoption.  In the interest of fairness, EARLY application submissions will NOT be considered.  Please note…  we cannot respond to messages/emails, etc., on dogs that are NOT yet available for adoption.  Please wait until the dog is available for adoption.  We will post him or her on Facebook in our Adoptable Dog Album pinned to the top of our page which you can follow at this link:  https://www.facebook.com/share/1B46skRWF5/ OR you can keep checking our website at www.roadtorescuela.org.  We appreciate your cooperation and understanding. “The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated.”  ~ Gandhi Be responsible ~  Always spay/neuter, keep your dogs on heartworm prevention, vaccinate against disease... and if you bring a pet into your life, commit to that pet for life.  Blessings.

(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 Rocco Man (male) Original intake date:  3/27/2023 Adopted:  5/25/2023 Returned due to owner illness:  12/16/2025   Breed:  Potato… errrr..  I mean Chihuahua Approx 7+ years old Original intake weight in 2023:  5.6 pounds Current weight:  7.2 pounds… should probably be about 6 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:  altered (neutered), dental performed (4 extractions), up-to-date on age-appropriate vaccinations, heartworm negative (originally in 2023, he was positive), fecal negative, 6 month Proheart injection (heartworm prevention) given 9/5/2025 - next due 3/5/2026, on monthly flea/tick prevention, microchipped Health issues:  his penis protrudes slightly – his former adopter kept him in a disposable belly band with a little bit of Vaseline rubbed on it to keep his little pecker moist (are you cringing?)… HEY, potatoes need love too! Temperament:  very sweet, quiet, adorable… what’s not to love? Energy level:  low Groom needs:  low Biography:  In 2023, Rocco Man was wandering around a neighborhood in Blanchard for several days (it’s a wonder he didn’t get snagged by something). Neighbors did not recognize him as living nearby. One of the neighbors reached out to us for help and we took him in. Animal control was notified and we networked him trying to find an owner. He was not microchipped and was in horrible shape. Clearly he was not cared for. He was heartworm positive (now negative) and missing most of his hair (we put him on Bravecto as vet suspected demodex despite not finding any mites) and quickly, his coat started growing out.  We got him in tip-top shape and he was then adopted by one of our former board members. Sadly, she had back surgery and other ailments and just couldn't care for him any longer.  She was heartbroken to give him up but she knew it was the right thing to do.  Rocco Man is so precious.  He does well in a kennel if needed but doesn’t really know much about a leash.  (Potatoes should be carried anyway.)  Rocco Man says “My pecker may hang low and I look like a potato… but you definitely need ME to complete YOU… “.   **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 and the dog is over 15 pounds.  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.

Vetting and other:  altered (neutered), skin scrape (diagnosed Demodex mange – read Demodex mange paragraph below), tapeworms observed (treated), Cytopoint injection given to help him with initial itching, Bravecto given for the Demodex (next due 2/26/2026), 2 puppy teeth extracted, up-to-date on age-appropriate vaccinations, heartworm negative, fecal negative, on monthly heartworm prevention, microchipped Health issues:  Demodex mange (read below) Demodex mange (commonly known as red mange) is a non-contagious mange wherein the mite lives within the hair follicle of the host.  Dogs get this type of mange from their mother.  If left untreated, it will cause hair loss, severe itching and scratching which then leads to inflammation of the skin, secondary infections and a compromised immune system.  Ultimately, it can lead to death especially since the lowered immune system can lead to other potential health risks.  Stress such as change in environment, a new pet, a new household member, a surgery, etc., could (but not necessarily) cause the mite to come out of dormancy.  Signs that the mite has come out of dormancy would be hair loss, especially around the eyes or paws.  Some people believe that you can treat demodex mange with motor oil (not true).  Up until recently, demodex mange was treated with Ivermectin and some vets may still use this method.  However, new developments have come about with an even better and more effective way to manage demodex mange.  Bravecto, a three-month flea preventive, is how this pet was treated.  Keeping your pet on Bravecto or any preventive that contains milbemycin oxime will keep the mite at bay.   Please don’t let demodex mange discourage you from considering this sweetheart for adoption.  Do your research and contact your veterinarian if you have further questions about adopting a pet with demodex mange.   Temperament:  Sweet, social, friendly, playful… all puppy! Energy level:  medium Groom needs:  low maintenance Biography:  Chestnut came to us from Bossier City Animal Control, surrendered there by a homeless person who could not care for him.  Here is what he looked like the day we took him in!... https://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=1278147991024009&set=a.1005561148282696 Poor boy was itchy and his skin was oozing… and he was just miserable as you can see from the look on his face!   Once he got Bravecto, the healing process began and look at him now!  Chestnut is fun, playful, funny, entertaining and such a joy to have at the rescue.  He plays with anyone and everyone who is willing to play with him.  If you have a toy bin around, he’s in it or trying to get in it to find the perfect toy!  (See video:  https://youtu.be/PEH6RInqdTY)  Chestnut does fine in a kennel if needed and will take you for a walk too!  He has two speeds… go and stop!  He’s also a great lap dog.  If you’re sitting… he’s sitting.  Check him out at in this picture with Louise:  https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1F7GYX4Vmk/  If you’re playing… he’s playing.  He’s the best of all worlds.  Next up for Chestnut is YOU!   **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 and the dog is over 15 pounds.  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!!

Mr. Cutie aka Cutie Pie is a male black with white Chihuahua or chihuahua mix puppy. As he grows we are thinking chiweenie. He was born on Valentine’s Day, hence the candy heart name! He weighs about 10.5 pounds (as of 7/24/25), largest of the litter. Cutie Pie is ready for adoption having been neutered and had all four sets of puppy vaccines, rabies vaccine and deworming. Cutie Pie is a puppy of Squirrel, Valentine #1, a sweet face tan Chihuahua about 10 lbs, surrendered to a local shelter on Valentine's Day while giving birth to her puppies…along with 15 other adults, and one other litter, all from the same home. Squirrel is a chihuahua personality, loving but a bit protective, very alert. All the dogs in the home were between 5-18 lbs, chihuahuas, dachshund mixes, and a small scruffy terrier. Among these would be the dad of the puppy. Cutie Pie was the only brother. Now that all his sisters and mom are adopted he’s been in a foster home learning social skills, crate training and potty training. He is figuring it all out pretty well. Cutie is very affectionate with people and loves to play with the other dogs. He is very food driven which should work well for his continued training. Cutie Pie likes his Nylabone and is very fond of a tennis ball. His gallops are the cutest thing. Adoption fee is $200.
