Peanut - Border Terrier and Mixed Breed Dog for Adoption in New Orleans, Louisiana

MEET PEANUT: 14 YEARS YOUNG AND PROFESSIONAL COUCH COMPANION!

Peanut is a 14-year-old, 14-pound scruffy terrier gentleman who has officially retired from the hustle and bustle of life. His current career goals? A comfy couch, a loving human, and absolutely no unnecessary excitement.

Through no fault of his own, Peanut is looking for a new home due to his humans divorcing. At 14, he wasn't planning on starting over, but he's hopeful there's someone out there with room in their heart (and on their sofa) for a distinguished little gentleman.

Peanut is neutered, up to date on vaccinations, heartworm negative, potty trained, and crate trained. He's accustomed to relaxing in his crate while his human is at work, so he's familiar with the working-class lifestyle, even if he personally prefers retirement.

He absolutely loves people and is happiest lounging around, enjoying the finer things in life. Larger dogs can make him a little nervous initially, but he settles with time. He's reportedly cat-friendly, although he does reserve the right to bark at them. Apparently, someone has to supervise the household!

Peanut isn't asking for much. Just a soft place to land, a human to love, and a peaceful home where he can enjoy his golden years.

Fourteen years old doesn't mean he's out of love to give. It just means he's had plenty of practice.

Let's find this sweet senior the happy ending he deserves!

The Border Terrier is a small, fearless, and affectionate breed known for their devotion to their families. With a wiry, weather resistant coat and an otter like head, they were originally bred for hunting foxes and vermin along the Scottish border. These energetic and intelligent dogs excel in various canine activities, including agility and obedience. Their friendly and playful demeanor makes them wonderful companions for active families, especially those who enjoy outdoor adventures with their loyal four legged friends.

The mixed breed dogs, often referred to as mutts, are a diverse and unique group with a blend of different characteristics from various purebred dog breeds. These dogs come from a mixture of lineages, resulting in a wide range of sizes, coat types, and temperaments. While each mixed breed dog is distinct in its own right, they are known for their resilience, adaptability, and often have fewer health issues compared to purebred dogs due to their genetic diversity. Mixed breed dogs make wonderful companions for families looking for a loyal and one-of-a-kind pet.

The mission of Take Paws Rescue is to meet the moral obligation to protect and save the lives of pets...
