Wirehaired Terrier and Mixed Breed Dogs Available for Adoption in New Orleans, Louisiana

Goo Goose
Born June 2025 Terrier Sweet & Snuggly

Oh, the snuggles you'll know when you meet Goo Goose,
A teeny, weeny, fuzzy caboose!
With fur so soft and eyes so bright,
He'll cuddle you morning, noon, and night.

But here's the truth behind the rhymes-
Goo Goose has had some tougher times.
He's neutered, crate trained, and potty trained too,
Doing all the good-boy things like he's meant to do.

He's still a little unsure at first,
A gentle soul with a cautious heart.
New people take a little time-
But once you're in, he's fully yours, every time.

With other dogs, he does best
With slow, kind intros-no need to rush the rest.
He tends to feel more safe and at ease
With larger dog friends who match his energy.

He wiggles, he hops, he zooms, he plays-
Then melts in your arms in the coziest ways.
A pint-sized parade called Sir Goo Goose
Whose confidence grows with every truce.

He needs a patient, gentle place
Where he can learn the world is safe.
A loving home, some time, some grace-
And you'll watch him blossom at his own sweet pace.

He's such a good boy with so much to give,
He just needs someone to show him how to live.

If you've got patience and love to spare,
Goo Goose is waiting to meet you there.

Any breed labels used by Take Paws Rescue, its employees/volunteers, or on vet records provided cannot be guaranteed. Breed labels are given based on information obtained during intake and/or best guesses based on appearance and/or temperament of the dogs and Take Paws Rescue gives no assurance to the accuracy of these labels. Labels are necessary for postings to many animal networking sites, such as our website, Chewy, Pet Finder, and others. These are in no way a guarantee. Additionally, exact age and potential size cannot be guaranteed.

***Take Paws Rescue saves dogs from high-kill shelters across the South, owner surrenders, and discarded dogs with uncertain futures. All of our animals live in foster homes where they are socialized, and well cared for. An application will be required to make sure it's the perfect match!

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 Wirehaired Terrier is a charming and energetic dog breed known for its shaggy coat and lively personality. Originating from terriers bred for hunting small game, they are intelligent, spirited, and make loyal companions. Their wiry coat requires regular grooming to prevent matting, and they thrive on ample exercise and mental stimulation. With proper training and socialization, Wirehaired Terriers can be excellent family pets, excelling in activities such as agility and obedience.

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