Temperament:  very sweet, quiet, timid and first, but social / friendly once comfortable. Energy level:  low-medium Groom needs:  low maintenance;  with long-eared dogs, you have to keep ears cleaned as they can be prone to ear infections.   Biography:  Short Stack was running loose around Faith Plantation off of Hwy 157 in Haughton for about two weeks.  We were first contacted about her about a week ago, with videos of her running around the neighborhood and into the woods.  None of the neighbors knew where she came from and it's not a big subdivision, but it is very rural.  After a few days, a neighbor was able to coax her to him.  He turned her over to the lady who initially contacted us and the following day, she brought her to us.  We posted her on social media and contacted animal control.  After stray hold was up, we sent her to our vet and now she's ready for her furever home!  We are so surprised that she didn't get snatched by a predator or clipped by a car, but Dachshunds are very smart and we feel she knew how to shield herself from danger somehow.  Seeing her in the videos we were sent was heartbreaking.  If she hadn't come to the man, we were already formulating a plan with the lady who contacted us to trap her.  Thankfully, it wasn't necessary!    Short Stack does great in a kennel if needed, she's very quiet (although we're sure there is a bark in there somewhere), she gets along with other dogs and while she can be shy at first, once she's comfortable she is friendly and social.  We know she's going to make someone very happy and we know we have a lot of Dachshund lovers in our audience!    **WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW** *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 and the dog is over 15 pounds.  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 new 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.
