Ricotta - Wirehaired Terrier Dog for Adoption in New Orleans, Louisiana

This scruffy little heartthrob is a 1–1.5-year-old wire-haired terrier mix with one crystal blue eye, one brown eye, and a whole lot of personality!

Ricotta LOVES people and other dogs! Cats? He was curious, but honestly, their food was way more interesting than they were.

He’s great with people of all ages, but his one flaw? He likes to stand on his hind legs to demand attention! We’re working on his manners, so any kiddos should be tolerant of his enthusiastic greetings.

Ricotta’s résumé:
—Potty training? NAILED IT!
—Leash walking? Still working on that fishtailing!
—Food motivated? EXTREMELY!
—Training should be a breeze.
—Dog friendly? Absolutely!
—Professional attention seeker? 100%!

Currently 17 lbs, Ricotta needs to fill out to a healthy 22–26 lbs. He’s already full-grown in height, just needs some groceries and muscle!

And that blue eye? We’re guessing there’s some herding breed mixed in with his wire-haired terrier genes. Only a DNA test will tell!

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.
