Note: Only those with a responsible dog ownership history and excellent vet reference need apply.<br/><br/>(For more pics, visit nr2r.petfinder.com or www.RoadtoRescueLA.org)<br/><br/>INSTRUCTIONS TO APPLY:<br/><br/>PLEASE read profile thoroughly BEFORE applying:<br/><br/>DOG APPLICATION LINK:<br/>http://www.roadtorescuela.org/dog-application<br/><br/>Ursalynn (female)<br/><br/>Intake date: 3/30/2026<br/><br/>Chihuahua<br/><br/>5 years old<br/><br/>Intake weight: 6.15 pounds<br/><br/>Adoption fee: $170, which includes vetting, microchip<br/><br/>Good with other dogs: yes<br/><br/>Cats: unknown – we do not have cats to be able to test<br/><br/>Vetting and other: altered (spayed), dental performed (1 extraction), ears treated, up-to-date on age-appropriate vaccinations, heartworm negative, fecal negative, on monthly flea/tick and heartworm prevention, microchipped<br/><br/>Health issues: none observed.<br/><br/>Temperament: she will bond with you in two seconds - once bonded, you are hers for life<br/><br/>Energy level: low<br/><br/>Groom needs: low maintenance<br/><br/>Biography: Ursalynn came to us with Yoshi and Skitch from a shelter outside of the Parish. She was very scared when she came to us, letting us know she did not appreciate us clipping her nails and poking her... so, we decided to give up and let the vet do all of that while she's under for spaying. When she came back from the vet, she was still not happy with us while in the kennel. Several people spent one-on-one time with her gaining her trust and eventually, she started coming to the front of the kennel for us to pick her up. Now, she has no issues with anyone. She's bonded tightly to me (Ninna)... and I have no idea why. I wasn't one of the ones who spent a lot of time gaining her trust but somehow she just thinks I'm her person now, following me everywhere when I'm at the rescue. She still does not want anything around her neck. We're not sure what happened to cause her to not trust that but we just decided if that's not what she wants, we'll not push her. She is a little pouch Chihuahua and as we stated already, she will bond like glue to her person. She just needs a little bit to get there. Where are Chihuahua people at?!<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:<br/>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...
