(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 Tatyanna (female) Intake date: 12/30/2025 (posting her on 3/12/2026 – after addressing her medical issues) English Bulldog 8 years old Intake weight: 35.2 pounds Current weight: 36.2 pounds Current weight: Adoption fee: $185, which includes vetting, microchip Note: While Tatyanna is not a benefactor dog… she is WHY we have benefactor dogs after all the money we've spent on her to get her ready for adoption! Good with other dogs: yes Cats: unknown – we do not have cats to be able to test Vetting and other: She came in with a large mass behind her neck. It was oozing pus. The vet could not remove it until the infection had cleared. He did biopsy a small area and it was benign. Once the infection cleared, the vet was able to remove the mass and the area looks amazing! The mass was sent off and it was benign. She had a little lump appear between her toes and a Cytopoint injection worked great. She may need one from time-to-time. After being with us for a while, we noticed she was limping on her left rear leg. Our ortho doctor indicated she had a slight ACL tear. The opted for PRP as opposed to repair due to all she's already been through. Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) for dogs is a regenerative, non-steroidal therapy that uses a concentrated sample of the pet's own blood to treat osteoarthritis, joint injuries (ACL), and soft tissue wounds. It accelerates healing by injecting high-concentration growth factors directly into damaged areas to reduce inflammation and promote tissue repair. She then went to several weeks of laser therapy. This has worked great for her but if you notice her limping, wrap with a self-adhesive wrap to give her some support. She's had a lot of things done to her and she is the BEST patient! Other vetting: altered (spayed), up-to-date on age-appropriate vaccinations, heartworm *POSITIVE (see heartworm positive paragraph below); fecal negative, 6 month Proheart injection (heartworm prevention), on monthly flea/tick prevention, microchipped Health issues: heartworm *POSITIVE (see heartworm positive paragraph below); may need wrap of rear left leg if she starts limping Temperament: VERY SWEET, gets along with everyone; best dog patient EVER; will give you the side eye and talk to you (typical bulldog); loves to lay on her back for you to rub her belly and requires that you have her on your lap to do this. (See photo: https://www.facebook.com/share/p/18PkvNZ6Hq/ with Debra… LOL) Energy level: low Groom needs: medium maintenance; she has some face folds that may need attention every now and then. Biography: Tatyanna came to us from Caddo Parish Animal Services. We were told about her and went to get her and they said she wasn't ready… something to do with the former owner wanting her back. After a couple of weeks, CPAS reached back out and said she was finally ready to come to us. Thank goodness BECAUSE this girl needed HELP desperately. She was sad and seemed depressed. She had a HUGE mass on the back of her neck (see intake photo: https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1FXm4zViDi/) She was heartworm positive, thin and just in terrible shape. Everything has been addressed and Tatyanna's frown has been turned upside down. Ok, she still frowns but she's happy, happy, happy! A few things you need to know: Her food intake MUST be managed. You cannot free-feed her. She will eat everything in sight. Feed her the recommended daily allowance and maybe a treat at bedtime. She can't afford to be overweight or she may further injure her leg. She DOES love the large natural bones you can get at Petsmart… the knuckles… hooves… femur bones. She will gnaw on those for hours. Remember, never give rawhides! They are choking hazards and not good for your dog! She requires you to lay her on her back on your lap (even though she's 36 pounds) and look at her lovingly while you give her belly rubs. She will definitely argue with you about anything. Remember, she is always right. She loves car rides! All she needs is a boost in the car and off you go! She snores and expects you to understand it is what it is. She may toot here and there and again, she expects you to understand it is what it is. It's a bulldog thing. IYKYK. Anywho, Tatyanna is very special to all of us because she's been with us for so long and just because she's the bestest. We want her to find a home that will love and take care of her just as much as we have. *Heartworm POSITIVE: Don't let heartworms discourage you from adopting a heartworm positive dog! We have tons of examples of dogs adopted and then ultimately testing heartworm negative following our instructions! TATYANNA is on (or has completed) twice a day Doxycycline for 30 days, and he/she has received a 6 month Proheart injection. The Proheart injection releases heartworm prevention into their system continuously for 6 months as opposed to the MONTHLY pill which releases prevention only when first administered. Coupled with Doxycycline, the gentle kill (or slow-kill) method is a safer alternative to the harsh immiticide (arsenic) treatment. The Doxycycline kills bacteria, which heartworms thrive on, thus weakening the heartworms and eventually they will die off, but it could take months and possibly up to two years before (s)he will be heartworm free. The 6 month Proheart injection kills any heartworm larvae and sterilizes the adult heartworms so they no longer reproduce. While the “gentle kill” or “slow kill” method does take longer than traditional harsh veterinary treatment, we prefer this method because there is less risk, it is not as harsh on the dog and the dog does not have to be confined for up to two months during the treatment. We recommend the dog receives another 30 day course of Doxycycline when s(he) receives their next Proheart injection (6 months from the first injection). After one year, we recommend the dog be retested for heartworms. If positive, continue the Doxycycline every 6 months along with the Proheart injection. If negative, continue with regular heartworm prevention (Proheart injection or monthly pill or topical) just like you would do for any heartworm negative dog. If negative, discontinue the Doxycycline regimen. We do require that any interested adopters understand heartworms. They must also agree to continue our method of treatment or, if they wish, they can opt for traditional veterinary treatment; however they cannot choose to do nothing and we do require an agreement/contract be signed that the adopter will continue with a plan to rid him/her of the heartworms. We highly recommend that you discuss this with your veterinarian BEFORE applying (better yet, show this write-up to your vet) as some vets will ONLY do the traditional veterinary treatment... (which is poison). (Note: Heartworms are not contagious from dog-to-dog or by any other means OTHER THAN a bite from an infected mosquito. That is the only way dogs get heartworms and the only way to protect them is through prevention.) **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 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.
