Pantaloon (NOT YET AVAILABLE) - Chihuahua Dog for Adoption in Benton, Louisiana

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 11/5/2026: Pantaloon - female - 3 years old - 2.4 pounds - Chihuahua

Reason for intake: Pantaloon came to us from the Ouachita Parish Animal Shelter. They sent her to their vet but she needed a rescue to dive deeper into what's going on with her. She is emaciated, had whipworms, one eye is smaller than the other, seems to have something going on with her back legs, etc. Her face and eyes make us think she may have developed hydrocephalus due to some type of injury or a tumor... we just don't know and we don't know if that is even what's going on. We have her on special food (something she will eat)... and top it with boiled chicken (which she definitely is eating). Nevertheless, she is heading to our vet the week of 11/9/2026. She won't be able to be spayed or get a dental or anything until we can get her in better shape... so, she'll likely be with us for a while. We have a foster home lined up so that we can keep a better eye on her instead of her being at the rescue with the other dogs.

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.

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.

The Chihuahua is a small breed famous for its confidence, loyalty, and big personality, despite its tiny size. Originating from Mexico, these dogs are known for their large, expressive eyes and alert, curious nature. Chihuahuas make excellent companions, forming strong bonds with their owners and displaying a protective nature. They come in a variety of coat colors and patterns, with both long and short coats, making them a diverse and adorable addition to any family.
