Rascal Rat Terrier & Chihuahua Mix Zachary, LA

Meet Rascal! He is an 8 pound, 8 month old rat terrier-chihuahua mix. He is super sweet. Rascal is very shy at first with strangers, but once he opens up, he is a true sweetheart! He is funny, energetic, and loving. He loves to play with his fur-siblings! Rascal needs a furever family with a yard where he can run & play freely, bask in the sun and chase balls around. Rascal LUVS to play with other fur babies, so preferably a home with at least one other fur baby. Rascal is up-to-date with all of his vaccines. His adoption fee is $175 and includes neuter and microchip to be transferred to new adopter. If you'd like to apply for Rascal, please keep in mind that we require a good vet history, fenced/secure yard & a good fit for him. Please apply here so this sweet boy can find his people in time to celebrate Christmas in his furever home!

All our adoption fees include *spay/neuter, micro-chip, up-to-date vaccinations, thru date of adoption. Although this puppy may be too young to test for heart worms, they are receiving regular heartworm prevention, as well as flea/tick prevention.

*Puppies under 6 mos. of age at time of adoption are provided with a pre-paid spay/neuter voucher for use at MLD's choice of 2 vet clinics located in Zachary, LA. IF adopter chooses to have the procedure performed at a different clinic, they will be given a $50 adoption credit. Adopter MUST provide proof of spay/neuter to MLD within 30 days of the time that pup turns 6 month old.

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 or secure enclosure. In the case of apartments, we require Landlord approval and designated dog area in complex.
*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 puppies under the age of 12 mos. We will ONLY transport an adult dog on a transport approved by MLD, at adopter's expense.
* In order to be affordable and afford every family an opportunity to have a pup of their own, we keep our Adoption Fees low; however, please keep in mind that the fees we charge do not cover all costs for the pup. Any additional donations are greatly appreciated!

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 meet & greet for any of our pups. IF the dog is listed as adoptable, they are available. It is not necessary to inquire if they are available. Please complete the short, no-obligation application here: https://form.jotform.com/mustluvdogs/adoption-application
Finally, THANK YOU for considering Must Luv Dogs for your next pet.

*Most dogs require a fenced area in yard.
*Apartments okay IF nearby dog park or walking trails (with landlord appoval).
*ALL dogs must be INSIDE dogs and treated a part of family.
*We are a DUE DILIGENCE Adoption Rescue.
*Must have good Vet history & Heartworm prevention is a MUST!
*ALL dogs are fully vetted, spay/neutered and microchipped prior to adoption.

FYI: Even though puppies are too young to test for heartworms, we provide the following procedural information for your information: Any of our pups who test HW+ are treated with the *slow kill method of treatment. The *slow-kill method, 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.
