🐾❄️ Meet Aki! ❄️🐾

Husky x White German Shepherd • Born 8/10/2025 • 45 lbs

If you’ve been dreaming of an adventure buddy with movie-star looks and a personality that’s larger than life, Aki is ready to meet you!

This stunning Husky/White German Shepherd mix is as smart as he is handsome. Aki is full of energy, curiosity, and that unmistakable Husky flair for being just a little dramatic. He’ll happily “talk” to you about his day, make you laugh with his goofy antics, and then melt your heart with his sweet, affectionate nature.

Aki’s current owner loves him dearly but recognizes that apartment living and a busy schedule aren’t giving him the active lifestyle he deserves. He’s looking for a family that can match his energy and help him become the incredible adult dog he’s meant to be.

🐾 About Aki:
🩵 Neutered
🩵 House trained
🩵 Crate trained
🩵 Knows basic commands
🩵 Smart, affectionate & eager to learn
🩵 Great with people & kids
🩵 Dog friendly with slow introductions
🩵 No cats, please

Aki will thrive with an active family, a securely fenced yard, and plenty of opportunities for exercise, training, and adventure.

He’s happiest when he has a job to do, whether that’s hiking, learning new tricks, playing fetch, or simply being your constant companion.

Like both of his breeds, Aki is intelligent and eager to please. With continued training, structure, and consistency, he’s going to make an outstanding lifelong companion.

If you’re ready for a loyal best friend who will keep you laughing, keep you active, and love you with his whole heart, Aki is waiting to start his next adventure with you. 🩵🐾

🫧🐾 Meet Yuna Bubbles 🐾🫧

3 years old • ~32 lbs • Fully Vetted

Yuna Bubbles is… a lot to look at, in the best way.

She has this pouty little seal lip that gets stuck on her teeth like she forgot how her own mouth works, and her tiny bottom teeth stick out in the front just enough to make you question everything.

It’s so funny and so cute you’ll catch yourself just staring at her for no reason.

Her government name is Yuna Bubbles for a reason. When she gets excited, she literally starts forming little bubbles around her lips and nose like she’s short-circuiting from happiness. 😂🫧

She’s very into her person. If you sit down, she’s already on her way over, leaning into you, climbing into your space, or quietly inserting herself into your personal bubble like she belongs there.

At the same time, she’s perfectly fine doing her own thing… she just prefers doing it near you.

Her kennel is her emotional support bedroom. If something feels weird or overwhelming, she’ll either go in there, tuck herself behind you, or try to merge with your body until she feels safe again.

🐾 About Yuna:
🫧 Housebroken
🫧 Non-destructive
🫧 Comfortable in her kennel
🫧 Best with submissive dogs & slow introductions
🫧 Seems quicker to make friends with smaller dogs
🫧 Has done well with calm, respectful kids
🫧 No cats
🫧 Fully vetted

Yuna is a sensitive little thing, which means she really looks to her person for reassurance. But that’s also exactly what makes her so sweet.

She wants to feel safe, and once she does, she gives you everything.

She’s basically a tiny, slightly confused seal with emotional depth, great house manners, and a strong need to be near her person.

And somehow, that combination is absolutely perfect. 🫧❤️🐾

🦇🐾 Meet Van Helsing 🐾🦇

Born November 2025 • 47 lbs • Shepherd Mix

Don’t let the legendary name fool you... the only thing Van Helsing is hunting is tennis balls, playmates, and someone to love him forever.

This young Shepherd mix is everything you could want in a young dog: sweet, goofy, affectionate, and always ready for fun. Found as a stray, Van Helsing is now safe with Take Paws and excited to leave his wandering days behind.

Van is neutered, heartworm negative, and has been a fantastic guest in rescue. He hasn’t had a single accident in his kennel run and is proving to be a smart boy who’s eager to learn.

His favorite thing?

Other dogs! 🐶

Van absolutely lights up around canine friends and would thrive in a home with another playful dog to wrestle, romp, and share adventures with. He’s social, easygoing, and has the kind of happy-go-lucky personality that makes friends wherever he goes.

🐾 About Van Helsing:
🦇 Neutered
🦇 Heartworm negative
🦇 Dog friendly
🦇 No accidents in his kennel run
🦇 Smart & eager to learn
🦇 Sweet, goofy & affectionate
🦇 Would love a playful canine sibling

Like any young Shepherd mix, Van will benefit from an active family committed to continuing his training, providing daily exercise, and giving him plenty of opportunities to use both his body and his brain.

In return, you’ll get a loyal companion who is always up for whatever the day brings.

If you’re looking for a goofy best friend with a heart full of love and a tail that never stops wagging, Van Helsing is ready to sink his teeth into his forever home...

And only his chew toys. 🦇❤️🐾

🤍🐾 Meet Ronnie McLovin — Lover, Snuggler, Gentleman Extraordinaire 🐾🤍

Right at a year old, Ronnie McLovin is part Lab, part Heeler, and 100% heartthrob. He’s got that sweet, mild-mannered charm that melts hearts faster than ice cream on Bourbon Street.

Ronnie is fully potty trained, sleeps all night in his crate, walks like a pro on a leash, and even handles baths like a spa regular.

Outside can still be a little spooky, but he’s much braver when another dog tags along—confidence rises, tail wags increase, and life gets good.

He loves other dogs, adores cats, and might give them a playful chase every now and then, but only in the name of fun.

Ronnie is a certified snuggle bug with the soul of a gentleman and the happy, goofy energy of a young pup.

🐾 About Ronnie:
🤍 Fully potty trained
🤍 Crate trained
🤍 Walks beautifully on leash
🤍 Dog friendly
🤍 Cat friendly
🤍 Sweet, submissive & affectionate
🤍 Neutered
🤍 Up to date on vaccines
🤍 Heartworm negative

Ronnie would do best with a doggy friend to keep him company and help build his confidence. He’s the rare combination of calm, cuddly, and quietly hilarious—the kind of dog who’d happily carry your heart (and probably follow you from room to room while doing it).

Because really… what more can we say?

He’s McLovin. ❤️🐾

💙💗🐾 Meet Eustice & Muriel! 🐾💗💙

8 weeks old • Maltipoo/Chihuahua Mixes

Tiny bodies. Fluffy faces. A whole lot of puppy ahead of them.

Eustice and Muriel are settling into their foster homes and learning what life as loved little puppies is all about. Now they’re ready to find forever families of their very own!

💙 EUSTICE • 5 lbs

This little nugget is sweet with people and other dogs and, given his young age and friendly personality, would likely adjust well to cats with proper introductions.

Eustice may only weigh 5 pounds today, but he’s got an entire lifetime of love, adventures, and snuggles ahead of him.

🐾 Eustice:
https://new.shelterluv.com/embed/animal/TSC-A-8603

💗 MURIEL • 7 lbs

Muriel is sweet with people and other dogs and, given her young age and friendly nature, would likely do well with cats after proper introductions.

Her schedule is currently packed with very important puppy business: playing, exploring, snuggling, napping, and determining exactly how adorable she needs to be to get her way. 💕

🐾 Muriel:
https://new.shelterluv.com/embed/animal/TSC-A-8602

Both pups are working on house training, crate training, routines, manners, and socialization. Like any babies, they’ll need families ready for the patience, consistency, training, laughter, and love that come with raising a puppy.

They may be tiny, but adopting a puppy is still a big commitment.

If you’re ready for tiny paws, puppy kisses, and the wonderfully messy fun of raising a baby, Eustice and Muriel are ready to grow up with you. 🥹🐾💕

🐾 A FEW THINGS WE REALLY NEED! 🐾

We could use a little help restocking some much-needed supplies at the Stray Cafe by Take Paws Rescue!

And, of course, those 31 gallon galvanized trash cans with lids will help us keep our dog food safely stored and away from our unwanted rodent visitors…..because apparently plastic containers are no match for them. 🫣

Right now, we need:

🗑️ 31-gallon galvanized trash cans with lids
🐾 Puppy pads
💩 P**p bags
🦴 Large chew toys

You can shop our Amazon Wish List for these items and much more! You can have items shipped directly to the Stray Cafe, or drop donations off at the Stray Cafe - 2730 Banks St., New Orleans.
👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇
https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/2Y7A7M3HE5Q4S/ref=hz_ls_biz_ex?

Not our most glamorous wish list, but definitely one of our most needed! 😂🐾 Every donation helps keep the Stray Cafe stocked, clean, and ready for the pups who need us.

WE COULD NOT CONTINUE SAVING LIVES WITHOUT OUR AMAZING COMMUNITY. 🐾
Every foster, adopter, donor, volunteer, supporter, share, and kind word helps us keep going…and for that, we THANK YOU! 💚

💚💙🐾 Meet Rick! 🐾💙💚

8 weeks old • Maltipoo/Chihuahua Mix

Tiny puppy. Big personality. Entire lifetime of adventures ahead.

Rick is an adorable Maltipoo/Chihuahua mix who is settling into foster care and getting his first taste of what it means to be a spoiled, loved puppy.

NOTE: His brother Morty has been adopted.

💙 RICK • 8 lbs

Rick is the biggest of his little crew and has plenty of personality to match! He’s sweet with people and other dogs and, at his young age, would likely adjust well to cats with proper introductions.

He’s currently determining exactly how much trouble one adorable puppy can get into before naptime. 😇

Rick is ready for a family who wants puppy kisses, tiny adventures, and a front-row seat to watching their best friend grow up.

🐾 Rick:
https://new.shelterluv.com/embed/animal/TSC-A-8599

Rick is working hard on all the puppy things: house training, crate training, basic manners, socialization, playing hard, and napping even harder.

Like any baby, he'll need patience, consistency, training, and plenty of love as he grows.

In return, you’ll get all the hilarious, sweet, slightly chaotic moments that make raising a puppy so special. 💚💙🐾

🌹🐾 Meet Pedal Rose 🐾🌹

1 year old • 8 lbs • Jack Russell/Chihuahua Mix

Pedal Rose may only be one year old, but this little 8-pound Jack Russell/Chihuahua mix, possibly sprinkled with a tiny bit of Papillon, has the soul of a retired librarian who would like everyone to please keep the noise down.

She’s a gentle, timid little girl who takes a little time to feel comfortable, but once she decides you’re her person, prepare yourself for a professional lap dog.

There is one important technicality: Pedal Rose does not particularly enjoy being picked up.

Apparently, she has standards.

But put her on your lap, and she is perfectly happy to stay there all day, all night, and possibly until the heat death of the universe.

🐾 About Pedal Rose:
🌹 Wonderful with other dogs
🌹 Would love a canine friend to build confidence
🌹 No cats, please
🌹 Quiet & not a big barker
🌹 Working on potty training
🌹 Tolerates her crate when necessary
🌹 Professional lap dog

What she really wants is a soft place to land, a patient person who will let her come out of her shell at her own pace, and a lap she can officially claim as her own.

Pedal Rose is an old soul in a puppy-sized package. She’s sweet, quiet, gentle, and just waiting for someone to show her that the world can be a safe and wonderful place.

And once she trusts you?

Congratulations.

You’ve been selected as her furniture. 🌹🐾
