(For more pics, visit nr2r.petfinder.com or www.RoadtoRescueLA.org)   INSTRUCTIONS TO APPLY: PLEASE read profile thoroughly BEFORE applying: DOG APPLICATION LINK:    http://www.roadtorescuela.org/dog-application Boo Belle (female) Intake date:  11/11/2023  Bichon 9 years YOUNG Weight: AT INTAKE date 11/11/2023 19.14 pounds CURRENT weight 12/9/23 16.4 pounds, a loss of 3 pounds (she’s been on a diet) Adoption fee:  $170, which includes vetting, microchip Good with other dogs:  yes Cats:  unknown – we do not have cats to be able to test Vetting and other:  altered (spayed/neutered), up-to-date on age-appropriate vaccinations, heartworm negative, fecal negative, on monthly flea/tick and heartworm prevention, microchipped Note:  Because she was urinating frequently, we had our vet perform an x-ray which revealed bladder stones AND pins in one of her rear legs from an old surgery.  Upon opening her to remove the bladder stones, our vet also found a mass on her bladder.  Pathology report is that they were benign polyps and non-concerning.  Anyway, her urinating is normal now and we’re sure she feels MUCH BETTER!   Health issues:  none found   Temperament:  very sweet, friendly and social! Energy level:  medium Groom needs:  High;  requires regular professional grooming, along with intermittent brushing to avoid matting Biography:   We were contacted by a rescue-friend about this little girl who was posted on a free pet site on Facebook by a relative of the owner.  Boo Belle's owner passed away.  She made contact with the relative and well, here she is.  She was overweight when she came to us at 19.14 pounds but we put her on a diet and now she is at 16.4 pounds as of 12/9/23.   She’s got more stamina now that she’s losing weight and it’s certainly better for her health as well!  Since Boo Belle has been with us a while, we’ve learned that she is social and friendly, gets along with everyone and is very food motivated which is why she cannot free-feed.  Her food portions need to be monitored and NO TABLE FOOD (for those people who love with food… ).   She does fine in a kennel if needed but does just as fine loose (she is one of our doggie lounge dogs for nighttime).   She walks well on a leash too and enjoys her twice-a-day walk schedule so we’d like a home that will continue that.  If you’d like to give little Boo Belle a furever home, we welcome your application!   **IMPORTANT NOTES** *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.   *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.  There is no exception to this rule!   *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!     *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.    *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.    *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.   *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 primarily small-breed dogs and to re-home them into RESPONSIBLE and CARING forever homes.    DOG APPLICATION LINK:   http://www.roadtorescuela.org/dog-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 NOR does it guarantee the adoption.
