Once treated, your dog can lead a normal life. Levothyroxine is what is used to treat dogs with hypothyroidism and the cost is very inexpensive. Bagagwa is on .1mg and through most on-line pharmacy runs about .05 cents per pill. Levothyroxine is dosed twice a day.<br/><br/>Temperament: very sweet, loves to be held, loves to be swaddled... precious as he can absolutely be!<br/><br/>Energy level: low<br/><br/>Groom needs: right now... it’s low-maintenance BUT if his coat starts growing back in... that may change.<br/><br/>Biography: Bagagwa was posted on-line by a rescue friend needing rescue. We were tagged and reached out that we could help. Sadly, his humans are in their 80's and have custody of a child. As much as they love him, they just could not take care of him. Please no negative comments. Bagagwa’s missing hair told us we needed the vet to check a few things, including his thyroid. Sure enough, he is hypothyroid and will need medication for life. Whether his hair grows back or not, we don’t know and we don’t think his adopter will care either! Also, he sort of tends to tip backwards when he’s looking up. His front legs are long and we think maybe his back legs have the onset of luxating patella which causes them to bend making the back legs shorter than the front legs... thus the tipping. Anyway, something to just be noted. Bagagwa does fine in a kennel if needed but don’t leash up this toot. He really doesn’t understand it and he’s really to fragile to have a leash or collar. If anything, use a harness. Also, he doesn’t really like things being put over his head so we use a vest to keep him warm since he’s so naked. Ok... you might be wondering about his name. Blame Ninna. She gets her inspiration from tons of places. This link shows where he got this name... LOL: https://www.facebook.com/share/r/17p4vPexZg/ Merv the Cat.<br/><br/>We know some of you have been eyeballing this little toot... so go ahead and get your apps in!<br/><br/>**WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW**<br/><br/>*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.<br/><br/>*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!<br/><br/>*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!<br/><br/>*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.<br/><br/>*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.<br/><br/>*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.<br/><br/>*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.<br/><br/>*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.<br/><br/>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<br/><br/>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.<br/><br/>Applying to adopt does NOT commit you to the adoption NOR does it guarantee the adoption.<br/><br/>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.<br/><br/>www.RoadtoRescueLA.org<br/><br/>“The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated.” ~ Gandhi<br/><br/>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.
