Wilbur Wiggles (Benefactor Puppy) - Miniature Poodle and Mixed Breed Dog for Adoption in New Orleans, Louisiana

Meet Wilbur Wiggles: Distinguished Gentleman & Ten Pounds of Unregulated Whimsy

Wilbur Wiggles is a Miniature Poodle mix born around the end of April, currently weighing about 10 pounds, and somewhere in the bureaucratic machinery of puppy distribution, an unreasonable amount of charm was accidentally allocated to one very small dog.

Wilbur is dog-friendly, cat-friendly, and would do well with older, respectful kids. He's sweet, playful, ridiculously cuddly, great in the car, and excellent in his crate. Essentially, his resume is becoming suspiciously competitive for someone who still occasionally needs guidance regarding where one conducts one's bathroom affairs.

His principal vocation is cuddling. Wilbur considers affection an essential public service. An unattended lap is an inefficiency. A human sitting alone is experiencing a completely preventable shortage of Wilbur.

He's still working on potty training, but civilization took thousands of years and Wilbur has only been alive since April. Perspective.

And then there's the name.

Wilbur Wiggles.

"Wilbur" suggests inherited mahogany furniture and opinions about the bond market. "Wiggles" describes what happens to his structural integrity when someone says hello.

He's tiny, affectionate, sociable across species, and an absurdly adorable confection of curls and conviviality.

Wilbur Wiggles isn't merely a perfect puppy.

He's a compelling argument for abandoning whatever sensible plan you had and acquiring a Wilbur.

The miniature poodle is a highly intelligent and affectionate dog breed known for its curly hypoallergenic coat and charming personality. Originally bred as water retrievers, these small but sturdy dogs excel in various dog sports and activities. They are adaptable to different living situations, making them ideal companions for both families and individuals. Miniature poodles require regular grooming to maintain their coat, and their playful nature and trainability make them a popular choice for obedience and agility competitions.

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...
