Boudreaux American Staffordshire Terrier Mix Zachary, LA

BOUDREAUX is a 2 year old mixed breed. He is a very sweet-natured dog. Quiet and loving, he enjoys being around his humans. He can be a little shy at first, but once he knows and trusts you, he wants to be near you. He gets along wonderfully well with the other dogs in his foster home. He is submissive and enjoys running in his fenced yard and playing the other pups. A good game of chase is always a hit with Boudreaux! He doesn't bark very often and basically just wants his own family to feel safe and loved. Boudreaux is pretty passive and doesn't try to take the alpha role. He is smart and eager to please. Though not required, he would probably be happiest in a home with at least one other dog. He is house trained and is learning lots of new things at his foster home. Human and dog interaction is his favorite things! Boudreaux's best life would be lived in a home with at least one other pup and with a family who could spend lots of time with him to make up for the sadness in his previous life.

Boudreaux's adoption fee is $200, and it includes all vaccines up-to-date thru date of adoption, neuter and microchip. Rocky's potential adopter requires a fenced yard area so that he can safely and securely play off leash. He is neutered and in good health. He did test positive for heartworms, but is asypmtomatic and has already completed the antibiotic portion of his *slow-kill treatment. For the next 10 months he'll simply need to be administered his monthly Advantage Multi heartworm prevention and he should test negative.

Any potential adopters would need to provide references for a good vet history with all current and/or previous pets. We aren't looking for perfection (we know life happens), but an established pattern of consistent vaccines, heartworm prevention and medical care is required. If you don't have an established veterinary history (if this would be your very first pet), we will still consider your application. We grade on a point system and would base approval on other factors (i.e. financial stability, personal references, etc.).

IF you think you're a good fit for this pup, PLEASE COMPLETE our short, no obligation, application found here: https://form.jotform.com/mustluvdogs/adoption-application. A link to our application can also be found on our website: https://www.mustluvdogs.org

*The slow kill method of treatment, simply stated, is a 30 day regiment of doxycycline followed by a monthly dose of Advantage Multi for 12 months, then retesting. Most dogs test negative after one year of following this treatment; however, we always recommend that potential adopters consult & follow the advice of their family veterinarian upon adopting any of our hw+ pups. Although the fast-kill method is still considered the "gold-standard" by the AVA, and may be preferred by some vets; the slow-kill method has proven to be effective in our rescue. The main reason we utilize this method is due to our limited financial constraints and the high number of our rescue pups that are infected. In the cases of severe infection and if the pup is highly symptomatic, we sometimes use the fast-kill approach instead. Again, we recommend for you to consult with your veterinarian after the adoption is complete and follow their recommendations.

Please note that we reserve the right to deny any application if we don't feel the pup would be a good fit for you. We try to be fair and approve applications in the order they are received.

Also, please note that at the time of adoption, we require ALL adopters to sign a standard rescue contract. As a part of this adoption contract, you will be required to agree to the following terms (in addition to others):

1. You agree that the adopted dog will primarily reside INSIDE of the home. They are required to sleep inside of the home and be treated as a part of the family.
2. Also, you agree that if for any reason whatsoever, for the rest of the dog's life, IF you can no longer keep the dog, you AGREE to contact Must Luv Dogs Rescue and give us a thirty (30) day window and allow us to find an alternative, approved adopter to take the dog in. YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED to give the dog away, sell, drop the dog off or surrender him/her to a shelter EVER.
3. You also agree that you will keep the dog's medical care, vaccines, heartworm prevention, etc. up-to-date for the rest of his/her life.


In order to be considered for one of our beautiful pups, please go to our website and complete and application: https://www.mustluvdogs.org/adoptable-pets.
Please note that we are a DUE DILIGENCE adoption organization. Part of our approval process requires, among other things:
* Experienced pet home with verifiable vet references/history preferred, but we realize that everyone has to start somewhere, so all applications will be considered.
*The majority but not all of our pets require a fenced yard.
*Verifiable good veterinary history INCLUDING regular vaccination/visits and Good Heartworm Prevention history is a MUST!
*Adopter must be able to have time to spend with the pup and be able to provide the pup a safe environment to live.
*ALL our dogs are expected to be primarily INSIDE dogs. They MUST sleep inside the home. We truly understand that some folks have working dogs (i.e. farmers, ranchers,etc); however, the majority of our dogs have had a rough life prior to coming to us & we want to make sure that they are showered with LUV & maybe even a bit spoiled for the rest of their lives.

Other facts are also considered, including whether children or other pets are a good fit with the dog.

Must Luv Dogs reserves the right to deny any applications that we don't think are a good fit with the pup. Our first & foremost concern is the dog's best interest. It is our MISSION to place them in a home that is a great fit for their needs for a lifetime of luv & being part of a family.
*We will consider adoptions in any area; however, will do not ship or transport a puppy under the age of 12 mos. We will ONLY transport an adult dog on a transport approved by MLD, at adopter's expense.

Please note that all of our pets are in private foster homes. In order to reduce any stress or confusion for our pups, we require a completed, approved application BEFORE setting up a meeting for any of fur-babies. Alternatively, you are always welcome to come meet any of our pups at one of our regular Adoption Events. They are always posted on PetFinder OR on our Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/mustLUVdogs.org.
