FOR ADOPTION!   READY TO LEAVE no earlier than 2/17/2023 (after second round of vaccinations)   Video link:  https://youtu.be/quXIIepOreg   Note:  Only those with a responsible dog ownership history and excellent vet reference need apply.   INSTRUCTIONS TO APPLY: PLEASE read profile thoroughly BEFORE applying: DOG APPLICATION LINK:    http://www.roadtorescuela.org/dog-application RESERVING A PUPPY:    If your application is approved you will be contacted by phone.   Specific puppies are only reserved with a deposit once the approved adopter is notified.   Carmel - female Intake date:   2/2/2023 Breed:   Yorkie/Chihuahua mix APPROX DOB 11/2/2022 Weight at intake:  1.14 pounds Size potential:  We were told parents were a Yorkie and a Chihuahua – but we didn’t meet them nor do we know their weights.   We suspect the puppies will be under 15 pounds but we cannot and won’t guarantee weight as an adult.  Adoption fee and vetting:  $350, which comes with $50 spay/neuter REBATE coupon redeemable once puppy is spayed/neutered no later than 6 months of age; includes age-appropriate vaccinations (at least two, plus Bordetella); deworming; microchip and microchip enrollment fee Good with other dogs:  yes Cats:  yes Health issues:  none found Biography:   We were contacted by a rescue friend to help out with five puppies.  We took in two and the other three went to another rescue group.  Eden and Carmel are feisty little girls and typical sisters.  One minute they are playing or sleeping together in their pen and the next minute they’re fighting.  LOL.  It never lasts long, though… and the next thing you know, they’re sleeping.  They are so precious.  Carmel is half the size of Eden, yet she’s got the feistier temperament of the two!  Carmel has the “I’m little but I’m gonna getcha!” attitude.  Carmel will have had two rounds of vaccinations before she leaves us and will need TWO MORE from your vet in order to be fully protected!  Don’t mess around with this!  PARVO kills.  In any case, if you are interested in little Carmel, we welcome your application.   VACCINATIONS:   Most people don’t understand why a puppy needs multiple puppy vaccinations so some people don’t go beyond the first set.  This is a HUGE MISTAKE.  We’ll explain:  In the beginning, while nursing, the puppy receives ample immunity from their mother.  Once weaned, they are susceptible to dangerous viruses such as parvo, the puppy killer, and distemper… among other things.  At 6 weeks they should receive their first round of puppy vaccinations.  Why isn’t this enough?  Because you don’t know when the mother’s immunity is no longer effective and if they receive it while still with the mother’s immunity, it doesn’t do any good.  This is WHY they need to continue with boosters.  At some point one or more of those vaccinations will become their immunity.  Don’t risk your puppy’s life!  While some vets only do three sets, we recommend four sets.  If you’ve ever had a puppy die of parvo… it is something you will never ever forget.   (Keep in mind we are not veterinarians and cannot give advice, so don’t take our word for it… talk to your licensed veterinarian.)   PUPPIES! Keep in mind, puppies teeth just like human babies and have little sharp toenails.  They will also have behaviors that require training.  Puppies will chew, bite, nip, bark, destroy, dig, scratch, poop, pee, etc.  They will test your patience over and over!   The puppy phase lasts about 18 months (sometimes longer), so be sure you ARE READY for the commitment!      ELIMINATING:  A puppy can only hold their bladder for a short period of time based upon their age.  If the puppy is 2 months old, they can hold their bladder for 2 hours;  3 months/3 hours;  4 months/ 4 hours, etc., up to 6 months of age.   At about 6 months of age, this time frame stables out.    COMMITMENT:   Puppies are a 10-15 year commitment (sometimes longer).  Please be sure you are prepared for the life of the puppy!  In conclusion, if your puppy is in a responsible home that provides daily structure, training and socialization with people and other pets, your puppy will grow to be a well-adjusted and wonderful part of your family for many years to come.     SPAY/NEUTER REBATE PROGRAM:  Due to the age of this pet, he/she may not be spayed/neutered at the time of adoption.   If this is the case, you will receive a $50 rebate coupon which will entitle you to a rebate of $50 once your pet is spayed/neutered and valid ONLY IF DONE ON OR BEFORE 6 MONTHS OF AGE!  It is REQUIRED and part of our adoption contract that all unaltered pets be spayed/neutered no later than 6 months of age and we DO follow up!    **IMPORTANT NOTES** *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. *All 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!   *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.  *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.
