Temperament:  very sweet, nervous in unfamiliar environment Energy level:  medium Groom needs:  High;  requires regular professional grooming, along with intermittent brushing to avoid matting – she had thick matting around her muzzle (we were able to trim in-house – not perfect but it’ll do for now) Biography:  A rescue-friend reached out about this little girl.  The owners were too busy and traveling too much to keep her.  Please no negative comments.  Despite the circumstances, we are here to help the dog.  Here’s what we know about her from her former owner and comments from us on some it:   She’s only known one home. Brought home Christmas 2012. Used to being home alone for 8-10 hours.  (We would prefer a home that is home more often than not; however, she would do find in a home that is gone a minimal hours a day.) She is friendly and social. She is used to sleeping in the bed with former human. Former human indicated she was pad trained.  (What we’ve noticed is that she looks person to person and then barks and walks over to front gate as if she’s telling us she needs to potty or go for a walk.  Because she does like to be walked, she may do this often so it’s best to wear her out the first time.  LOL.) She travels well. Former human did not answer whether she walks ok on a leash BUT we’ve determined that she does. She was not kenneled at night and slept in the bed with her former human. She does not have any trouble with bad weather or fireworks. She does fine with grooming.  (We noticed that she doesn’t care for grooming around her face.   We held her and then we were able to trim the matting around her muzzle.) Former human said she would get a Cytopoint injection from time-to-time due to licking.   Effie needs to be in a quiet and calm home.  She does fine with other dogs but too many may cause her anxiety.  She loves to be held and cuddled and gives the sweetest kisses.  At her age, we hope someone comes along and wants to 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. CONTACT:  Our adoptable pets are updated regularly, but if you want to check the availability of a pet...
