Logan - Rat Terrier and Chihuahua Dog for Adoption in New Orleans, Louisiana

Meet Logan - Tiny Body, Giant Spirit
At just 14 weeks old (born at the end of April) and weighing only 7 pounds, little Logan has already faced more than any puppy ever should.
He was sitting all alone on the euthanasia list at a rural shelter. No momma to comfort him. No siblings to cuddle beside him. Just one tiny puppy waiting and wondering what would happen next.
When Logan's freedom ride to Take Paws Rescue finally arrived, he cried almost the entire way. Everything was new. Everything was scary. His whole world had been turned upside down.
We aren't exactly sure what breeds make up this adorable little guy. Our best guess is a Chihuahua mixed with a small rat or toy terrier-but whatever his family tree looks like, it grew one incredibly resilient puppy.
Once Logan realized he was finally safe, his personality began to bloom.
Don't let his tiny size fool you-this little guy is tenacious! He attacks a game of tug-of-war with determination that would make a dog ten times his size proud. If there's a toy lying around, chances are Logan has already claimed it and hidden it away in his secret stash. He's convinced every treasure belongs to him.
The big backyard was a little overwhelming at first. Every gust of wind that made the tree branches sway sent Logan scampering back to his foster mom for reassurance. But with a few gentle words of encouragement and the confidence that comes from knowing someone had his back, it didn't take long before he was happily trotting off to investigate every corner of his new world.
That's Logan in a nutshell. He may be tiny, but he is brave. He may be cautious at first, but once he knows he's safe, his curiosity and playful spirit take over.
Now there's just one discovery left to make.
Someone needs to discover Logan.
He's the very tiny, very sweet, very good boy who's ready for the biggest adventure of all-a family of his own. If you're looking for a puppy who will make you laugh with his toy-stealing antics, melt your heart with his gentle soul, and remind you every day that courage isn't measured in pounds, Logan is waiting to meet you.
Could your home be the happy ending this little survivor has been waiting for?
