Chestnut (NOT YET AVAILABLE)

Please read the pet description IN IT'S ENTIRETY before applying. Thank you for your cooperation.<br/>NOT YET TAKING APPLICATIONS – NOT YET AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION<br/><br/>NEW INTAKE 11/26/2025: Chestnut - male - approx 1 year old - 4.14 pounds - Chihuahua<br/><br/>Reason for intake: Oh my gosh... this sweet baby boy! Chestnut came to us from Bossier City Animal Control, surrendered there by a homeless person who could not care for him. The skin scrape revealed he has demodex mange, more commonly known as red mange, a non-contagious type of mange. (We will post details about Demodex when we post him for adoption.)<br/><br/>We administered a Bravecto and it will take effect immediately... changing this sad little boy into a happy and healthy little boy in no time. If you zoom in, you can see all the crust and scabs from the misery from itching that he's experienced probably since about 6-8 weeks old. Demodex is inherited from the mother dog... and we hope who ever had the mother dog, they GET HER SPAYED because all of her offspring will have this mange. Not all will develop the condition... it just depends on their immune system. Chestnut's immune system was probably compromised at birth and beyond, due to his environment... the food he ate, etc. Chestnut is heading to our vet the week of 12/1/2025 for neutering and everything else he needs!<br/><br/>NOT TAKING APPLICATIONS: Many dogs, particularly breeder, hoarder or senior dogs, can have multiple medical issues that need addressed. Additionally, sometimes we take in young puppies requiring multiple vaccinations and/or quarantining. In this particular case, we are not yet taking applications either due to age or possible illness or some other reason. We will post when s(he) is ready for adoption. In the interest of fairness, EARLY application submissions will NOT be considered. Please note... we cannot respond to messages/emails, etc., on dogs that are NOT yet available for adoption. Please wait until the dog is available for adoption. We will post him or her on Facebook in our Adoptable Dog Album pinned to the top of our page which you can follow at this link: https://www.facebook.com/share/1B46skRWF5/ OR you can keep checking our website at www.roadtorescuela.org. We appreciate your cooperation and understanding.<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. Blessings.
