(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 Burrito (female) Intake date:   1/7/2025 Pug mix Approx. 8-10 years old 18.14 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:   vet opened her up and she had already been spayed, dental performed (3 extractions), up-to-date on age-appropriate vaccinations, heartworm negative, fecal negative, on monthly flea/tick and heartworm prevention, microchipped Health issues:  none observed Temperament:  very sweet, quiet, gets along with others Energy level:  low-medium Groom needs:  low – bath and brush from time-to-time Biography:   Burrito was found on New Years Day at 2pm curled up outside of a fence off of English Road in Gloster, La.  The finder did post her on social media and she did contact DeSoto Parish Animal Services and the dog went through stray hold with the finder as foster.  Once stray hold was up, the finder contacted us to see if we could take her in and here she is!   She is chipped.  Prior to her arrival, the finder tried to make contact with the persons the dog is registered to but one phone number is no longer in service and the other was answered by someone who doesn't know who the registered owners are. We also called the chip company to find out more information.  The chip was implanted by the City of Bakersfield in California.  The dog was turned in as a stray.  Her owners came forward.  Prior to her leaving, the shelter chipped her and registered her to the owners on July 5, 2022.  We called the City of Bakersfield and their attitude was "well, what do you want us to do?"  Okie dokie... nothing, I guess.  We also searched the names on social media, google search, etc.  It was like searching for a needle in a haystack.  Anyway, we and the finder did do our due diligence to try to get her back to her people but it appears that maybe her people rehomed her and then she was dumped or who knows?  We have her now and we will find her a permanent home.    Burrito is very sweet and quiet.  She does well in a kennel if needed and walks well on a leash.  She gets along with everyone and is such a joy to have a the rescue!  She’d love a quiet home with humans who will love and care for her the rest of her life.  If that’s you, 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 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.
