Story
Please read the pet description IN IT'S ENTIRETY before applying.  Thank you for your cooperation. WARNING GRAPHIC!!!!!!!! She was still wagging her tail.  This is so sad.  We pulled this little girl from the Caddo shelter on March 18th as a medical release.  We were told she had a "hurt" paw.  Ann, one of our transport crew, retrieved her.  Typically, we bring the dog to the rescue first to assess and check due the normal check in, but Ann called Ninna that this little girl probably needs to go directly to the vet.  Ann said she smelled of infection and rot.  Ninna realized the urgency in Ann's voice and asked her to take her directly to our vet and Ninna notified Caddo Parish Animal Services we were doing so since she was still on stray hold.  The vet contacted Ninna that they needed to sedate her and shave some of the coat away to get into what was going on with the front right paw.  Come to find out, her paw was more than just "hurt".  The skin underneath the tightly wrapped matting was sloughing off revealing bones, tendons and maggots!  Horrible!  The vet said she will lose the leg.  Her other leg also has sores and infection but that leg will be saved.   They immediately put her on IV pain relief and antibiotics.  She's so emaciated under all that matting and so riddled with infection that they can't do any type of surgery right now. TODAY, March 21st, she is OFF STRAY HOLD, so she is OFFICIALLY OURS and forever away from whatever nightmare from which she came. We named her Liz Beth. Stay tuned for updates. “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.

Please read the pet description IN IT'S ENTIRETY before applying.  Thank you for your cooperation. NOT YET TAKING APPLICATIONS – NOT YET AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION NEW INTAKE 3/18/2025:  Landry - female - approx 5 years old - 7.4 pounds - Maltese Reason for intake:  Sadly, Landry's owner passed away.  We were reached out by a friend of the owner.  Initially a neighbor said she wanted her but then called and said she couldn't keep, so the friend reached out to us.  Firstly, Landry is heading to the groomer.  The week of March 24th, she'll head to the vet for spaying and everything else she needs.  Stay tuned!  (No judgment please on her condition as the owner was elderly and just couldn't keep up in the past year.) 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.
