Professor Milo Thatch - Wirehaired Terrier and Border Terrier Dog for Adoption in New Orleans, Louisiana

Meet Professor Milo Thatch, the ultimate 2-year-old local expedition leader, certified swamp cartographer, and card-carrying member of the high-energy club! Weighing in at a solid 40pounds, just like his cinematic namesake, this scruffy little dark-coated terrier mix has a wonderfully chaotic mop of hair, a brilliant mind for uncovering hidden treasures-mostly slimy sticks and suspiciously shaped leaves-and an absolute refusal to stand still. After trading a rural shelter for the good life in a foster home, Milo has been sprinting at Mach 5 ever since and is now ready to map his way straight to a forever home! Whether he is charting out every single lizard hideout in the yard, leaping over obstacles like an off-road swamp buggy, or performing his signature dramatic routine because dinner is thirty seconds late, this boy is pure, unadulterated joy. He is wonderful with other dogs and kids alike, bringing that classic wire-haired terrier spunk mixed with a deeply goofy soul to the whole crew. He's the kind of dog who will enthusiastically help you dig a hole, track down a lost sock, and then demand to curl up on your lap like a very dusty, very loved potato. Best of all? He is completely heartworm negative, and he will come fully vaccinated, microchipped, and neutered so he is all set for his next big expedition. If your household is missing a heavy dose of high-voltage energy, swamp-dog resilience, and certified academic charm, Professor Milo Thatch is ready to pack his tiny bags and map his way straight to your couch!

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 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.
