Interested in adopting a pet — or just looking at some delightful doggies? There are dozens of great dogs up for adoption at animal shelters in and around New Orleans.

Animal shelters work hard to care for unhoused pets and connect them to loving homes. Hoodline used data from Petfinder to power this roundup of dogs currently available for adoption.

Cypress, rat terrier

Cypress is a sweet female rat terrier dog currently housed at ARNO (Animal Rescue New Orleans).

She has mastered her house-training etiquette. She has been vaccinated.

Here's what Cypress' friends at ARNO (Animal Rescue New Orleans) think of her:

Hi I’m Cypress. My favorite thing in the whole world is cuddling with people. I like soft beds and warm kisses. When I came to ARNO from an overcrowded rural shelter I was very scared and didn’t have any confidence. Now I enjoy going for walks instead of cowering and putting on the brakes. I’ve learned that I am a strong girl who can conquer all her fears.
