Biography:   We received an urgent message to our Facebook page that the owner of three adult dogs and four puppies was found deceased in his tiny home.  He had been deceased for nearly two days according to the family. They got nowhere with animal control (Bossier Parish), so not knowing where to turn, they started reaching out to family who were more familiar with rescue... and one of t hose people made contact with us. We arrived on site to find the three adults outside barking at us and very scared. Ultimately, after some tense moments, we were able to corral and capture all three adults and find all four puppies who, with all the in and out of paramedics, coroner, etc., were spread out throughout the tiny home.  Patrick was very aggressive and we thought he may even be somewhat feral.  It worried us for his future in finding him a home.  We had to wrangle him with a slip leash to get him in a kennel to transport him to the vet.  He was barking and acting very aggressive.  When we brought him to the rescue, Ninna instructed all the volunteers to spend quality time with him to get him over his fears and to learn to trust us.  What a difference a few volunteers and a few days makes!  He is the sweetest, most lovable, affectionate boy weve ever had.  He loves belly rubs and human attention.  He does great in a kennel and so-so on a leash (we are working on that and he has come a long way).  Everyone has fallen so in love with him.  He was such a challenge at first that when you cross the threshold of a dog being scared... to trusting... its like winning a marathon and just makes you fall in love... HARD!   We want an amazing home for him with nothing but love, attention and care.  If you think that is you, we welcome your application.  
 
**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 doesnt 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.  Thats our guarantee.
Other notes:  This pet is available for adoption through Ninnas Road to Rescue, Benton, La.  We are 501c3 non-profit organization.  Our mission is to rescue small-breed dogs and a handful of cats and to re-home them into RESPONSIBLE and CARING forever homes.    DOG APPLICATION LINK:   /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 until youve met the pet (unless you already have and know you want to adopt the pet).
CONTACT:  Our adoptable pets are updated regularly, but if you want to check the availability of a pet... OR still have questions AFTER reading this profile, message us via our Facebook page.   Please indicate the name when communicating with us.
