Tequila (Tiki) - German Shorthaired Pointer and Mixed Breed Dog for Adoption in New Orleans, Louisiana

Meet Tequila, aka Tiki!
Male German Pointer Mix Born 8/5/2026 Cantina Litter

No lime or salt required. This little Tequila is plenty sweet all on her own.

Tiki's story began before he was even born, when his pregnant mama wandered into the life of a kind human who gave her a safe place to land. Apparently Mama knew exactly what she was doing because once she settled in, she promptly delivered eight beautiful puppies!

And just like that, the Cantina Litter arrived.

Born on August 5, 2026, Tiki and his siblings have spent their first weeks safe, loved, and growing like weeds. They're now beginning their next big adventure: receiving their vaccinations and microchips and moving into foster homes where they'll start learning all about family life.

Tiki is expected to be medium-sized when fully grown and is everything a puppy should be: sweet, curious, playful, silly, and completely adorable.

The German Shorthaired Pointer is a versatile and intelligent sporting dog breed known for its athleticism and hunting abilities. With a striking coat that is typically liver and white, these dogs are energetic, loyal, and make excellent companions for active families. They excel in various canine sports, such as agility and field trials, and are eager to please their owners. Their keen sense of smell and natural hunting instincts make them ideal for hunting birds and small game. Socialization and mental stimulation are essential for the well being of this breed.

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...
