Gizzard (male)

Intake date: 11/15/16

Yorkie mix

Approx 3 years old

6.8 pounds

Adoption fee: $170, which includes microchip and enrollment fee

Good with other dogs: yes

Cats: yes

Vetting: altered (spayed/neutered), UTD on shots, heartworm negative, fecal negative, dental performed (8 teeth extracted), Capstar and preventive (for fleas)

Health issues: flea allergy

Temperament: Timid, but very sweet. Has come a long way since entering our rescue.

Intake reason: Gizzard was an owner-surrender to Bossier City Animal Control. He was covered in fleas and has a pretty severe flea allergy resulting in patches of missing hair. He also had matting in the areas where he did have hair and that’s all been removed. It will take a little time for his patches of baldness to grow back, but now that the fleas are history... it will start growing back. He’s been through a lot in the past few days and at first, was very scared. Now that he’s been with us for a few days, he is really coming out of his shell. He’s such a cute petite little guy and for someone, he’s going to make an amazing little companion!

**IMPORTANT NOTES**

*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!

*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. Even if the children are older, it would depend on the child AND the parent or parents.

*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.

*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.

*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.

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 small-breed dogs and a handful of cats and to re-home them into RESPONSIBLE and CARING forever homes. To apply to be approved to adopt, please e-mail roadtorescue@bellsouth.net for an adoption application.

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.

Applying to adopt does NOT commit you to the adoption until you’ve met the pet (unless you already have).
