Please read the pet description IN IT'S ENTIRETY before applying. Thank you for your cooperation.<br/><br/>Video link: https://youtu.be/MD2lYmRD_JU<br/><br/>FOR ADOPTION!<br/>Taking applications NOW!<br/>Note: Only those with a responsible dog ownership history and excellent vet reference need apply.<br/><br/>INSTRUCTIONS TO APPLY:<br/>PLEASE read profile thoroughly BEFORE applying:<br/>DOG APPLICATION LINK:<br/><br/>http://www.roadtorescuela.org/dog-application<br/><br/>RESERVING A PUPPY: If your application is approved, you will be contacted by phone. Specific puppies are only reserved with a $100 NON-REFUNDABLE deposit once the approved adopter is notified.<br/><br/>James Avery (male)<br/>Breed: Chihuahua<br/>DOB: 6/17/2026<br/>Current weight: 2.65 pounds<br/>Size potential: Mother, Tilly Sue (since adopted), is 7.6 pounds. His father, who we believe is Milo (since adopted), was 4.14 pounds. There were several unaltered male Chihuahuas in the home but all were small. Milo being the father is a guess. We suspect James Avery will be somewhere between those two weights fully grown.<br/><br/>Adoption fee and vetting: $400, which comes with $50 spay/neuter REBATE coupon redeemable once puppy is spayed/neutered no later than 6 months of age; includes all puppy shots, plus Bordetella, Lepto and rabies; deworming; microchipped<br/><br/>Benefactor Dog/Puppy: When we have a popular dog or puppy, we dub them a “Benefactor Dog”. A Benefactor Dog will have an above average adoption fee. In other words, for OTHER dogs where the adoption fee is minimal or waived due to age, health or some other reason (although we’ve likely spent hundreds and sometimes thousands of dollars) a Benefactor dog will help us somewhat make up the shortfall. If this dog has an above-average adoption fee, she/he is a Benefactor Dog.<br/><br/>Good with other dogs: yes<br/>Cats: yes<br/><br/>Health issues: IMPORTANT! POTENTIAL GLUCOSE ISSUES DUE TO TINY SIZE!!<br/><br/>Sweet & Steady Needed!<br/>James Avery requires a little extra attentive care due to potential glucose (blood sugar) fluctuations. He needs a dedicated PERSON who can maintain a strict, CONSISTENT feeding schedule and recognize the subtle signs of low blood sugar, such as lethargy, wobbliness, or sudden sleepiness. His<br/>future family should keep a high-calorie supplement like<br/><br/>Nutri-Cal<br/><br/>on hand for a quick, reliable energy boost if his blood sugar dips.<br/>With REGULAR, CONSISTENT meals, a watchful eye, and a little extra love, this sweet pup will thrive and live a completely happy, playful life.<br/><br/>Biography: PLEASE keep in mind your AGE! Despite what you may want, we want YOU to outlive the pup... not the other way around! Puppies (especially small-breed) can live 15-20 years!<br/><br/>James Avery was born to Tilly Sue on June 17th, 2026, in the watchful foster home of Michele, one of our long-time volunteers and board members. Tilly Sue came to us with three other Chihuahuas from animal control. There were eight all-together, four of which went to another rescue. Two came to us pregnant. Once Tilly Sue delivered her puppies, we suspected immediately that Milo was the daddy, since all but one were white with brown spots (a little mixture of Tilly Sue and Milo we suspect). James Avery's foster mom reports that he's playful, fun, curious, entertaining and all puppy! As you can see from the video, he doesn't let his tiny size get in the way of a good time! James Avery needs a home where he'll be monitored to make sure he is eating well, who does not have a lot of other distractions to keep them from monitoring him, who has the means to involve a veterinarian should the need arise, etc. Tiny puppies like James Avery need extra attention and monitoring until they get out of the puppy stage. Even as an adult, they can have blood sugar issues, so keeping Nutri-Cal on hand is so important. There are other options, but Nutri-Cal is our go-to. If you think you have the means, the time, the love and the ability to care for him and make him part of your happy family, we welcome your application!<br/><br/>SPAY/NEUTER REBATE PROGRAM: Due to the age of this pet, he/she may not be spayed/neutered at the time of adoption. If this is the case, you will receive a $50 rebate coupon which will entitle you to a rebate of $50 once your pet is spayed/neutered and valid ONLY IF DONE ON OR BEFORE 6 MONTHS OF AGE! It is REQUIRED and part of our adoption contract that all unaltered pets be spayed/neutered no later than 6 months of age and we DO follow up!<br/><br/>PUPPIES!<br/>Keep in mind, puppies teeth just like human babies and have little sharp toenails. They will also have behaviors that require training. Puppies will cry, chew, bite, mouth, nip, bark, destroy, dig, scratch, etc. The puppy phase lasts about 18 months (sometimes longer), so be sure you ARE READY for the commitment! Don't even think about applying if you have any doubts about raising a puppy... and don't expect children to take care of the puppy... because they won't! This needs to be an adult decision and an adult commitment.<br/><br/>POTTY TRAINING: A puppy can only hold their bladder for a short period of time based upon their age. If the puppy is 2 months old, they can hold their bladder for 2 hours; 3 months/3 hours; 4 months/ 4 hours, etc., up to 6 months of age. At about 6 months of age, this time frame stables out. Puppies are a 10-15 year commitment (sometimes longer). Please be sure you are prepared for the life of the puppy! In conclusion, if your puppy is in a responsible home that provides daily structure, training and socialization with people and other pets, your puppy will grow to be a well-adjusted and wonderful part of your family for many years to come.<br/><br/>COMMITMENT: Puppies are a 10-15 year commitment (sometimes longer). Please be sure you are prepared for the life of the puppy! Bear in mind your AGE! While life is never guaranteed, we want the odds to be that YOU outlive the puppy, not the other way around.<br/><br/>In conclusion, if your puppy is in a responsible home that provides daily structure, training and socialization with people and other pets, your puppy will grow to be a well-adjusted and wonderful part of your family for many years to come.<br/><br/>**IMPORTANT NOTES**<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/>*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!<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/>*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.
