Biography:   The six “Clue” puppies came to us when the owner of their mother reached out to us for help.  When we picked up the puppies, we were able to view the mother and we were shown a picture of the daddy, who lives next door.  The momma dog appeared to be a Yorkie/wire-haired terrier mix of some sort and the dad appeared to be a Chihuahua/Dachshund mix of some sort.   The puppies are healthy and plump.  They will all get two rounds of vaccinations before leaving us... plus a 5 day course of Panacur (deworming).  The puppies are all playful, curious, social and sweet.   (Note:  We are following up with the owner of the momma dog to make sure she gets spayed.)

PUPPIES!

Keep in mind, puppies teeth just like human babies and have little sharp toenails.  They will also have behaviors that require training.  Puppies will chew, bite, nip, bark, destroy, dig, scratch, etc.  The puppy phase lasts about 18 months (sometimes longer), so be sure you ARE READY for the commitment!    Also, 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.  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. 

**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.  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. 

*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.    DOG APPLICATION LINK:   http://www.roadtorescuela.org/dog-application
