Mariel (NOT YET AVAILABLE)

My story

Please read the pet description IN IT'S ENTIRETY before applying.  Thank you for your cooperation. NOT YET TAKING APPLICATIONS – NOT YET AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION NEW INTAKE 5/26/2025:  Mariel - female - approx 10+ years old - 14.10 pounds - Dachshund Reason for intake:  Caddo Parish Animal Services contacted us about this little girl in need of help.  She was a stray brought in and stray is not up until Thursday, May 29, but they wanted her out of the shelter due to her age and condition.  Mariel has large mammary tumor as you can see from the picture.  It is seeping some.  Her teeth are horrendous and the smell... well, hard to describe.  She had very long nails and is emaciated.  She eats like she's starving... so clearly she has an appetite.  She's just been starved.  We will take good care of her during stray and hopefully no one comes forward.  When stray is up, she'll head to our vet for everything she needs.   NOT TAKING APPLICATIONS:  Many dogs, particularly breeder, hoarder or senior dogs, can have multiple medical issues that need addressed.  Additionally, sometimes we take in young puppies requiring multiple vaccinations and/or quarantining.   In this particular case, we are not yet taking applications either due to age or possible illness or some other reason.  We will post when s(he) is ready for adoption.  In the interest of fairness, EARLY application submissions will NOT be considered.  Please note…  we cannot respond to messages/emails, etc., on dogs that are NOT yet available for adoption.  Please wait until the dog is available for adoption.  We will post him or her on Facebook in our Adoptable Dog Album pinned to the top of our page which you can follow at this link:  https://www.facebook.com/share/1B46skRWF5/ OR you can keep checking our website at www.roadtorescuela.org.  We appreciate your cooperation and understanding. “The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated.”  ~ Gandhi Be responsible ~  Always spay/neuter, keep your dogs on heartworm prevention, vaccinate against disease... and if you bring a pet into your life, commit to that pet for life.  Blessings.
