My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Robin

Breed: Australian Cattle Dog Mix
Age: 7 months +/-
Weight: 45 lbs
Medical: Up-To Up-To-Date on Vaccinations, microchipped, neutered
Cat Friendly: Yes
Dog Friendly: Yes
Kid Friendly: Ages 10+
House Trained: Yes
Crate Trained: Yes
Location: Tennessee

Robin is a love bug! He is not leash trained but follows easily with slight encouragement and does not pull hard. We are working on the leash with him. He loves to snuggle up and watch a movie with you and then go outside and watch the world move around him. He is not high energy, but he is a puppy so will have very occasional bursts of energy.

He has what may very well be a birth defect in his left hip which doesn’t seem to cause him any pain. He can have surgery which might enable him to use his leg more. This is something that if you decide to adopt him, we would fundraise to help pay for. Otherwise, he seems very healthy!

Good with cats, with supervision at this point. Easily redirected if necessary. After all, he is still a puppy and can still be a bit clumsy. He would probably do best in a quieter type home. Very good with other dogs, all people and is kennel trained! He will never be your running buddy, but he would gladly curl up at your feet or on your lap for afternoon tea on the front porch!

Once your application has been received and reviewed, you will be contacted via email or phone by one of our volunteers. After your application is approved, the foster parent for the dog you have selected will contact you to answer any questions you may have and determine if that dog is a good match for your family.

If you have no particular dog in mind, we will be happy to keep your application on file and notify you if the right dog should come into rescue. Catahoula Rescue of New England is an all-volunteer group. Dogs in our program are fostered by volunteers. The foster homes care for our dogs as if they were their own. All dogs have received vaccinations appropriate to age and are spayed or neutered.

Robin’s adoption donation is $450 which includes Rabies, DHLPP, Bordetella, fecal test, heartworm test, is on preventative, microchip and neuter depending on age at time of adoption. If the dog is too young for a spay/neuter then they will be adopted with a spay/neuter contract and deposit. We do not have a physical shelter; all our dogs are fostered in individual foster homes across the New England and Canada.

3.

Additional adoption info

We have a written application followed by a phone interview. If the applicant is approved past this point then we check 2 personal references as well as their vet reference. If they rent we speak with their landlord as well. If all is well at this point then we do a home check. The final step is a meet and greet where the adopter and the household, including dogs travel to meet the new adoptive dog. If all goes well they can adopt. There is an adoption contract and the adoption fee ranges between $200-400 depending on the fees that we put into the particular dog.

Go meet their pets

We support local "ma & pa" business before the big box chains since many of us come from some communities. We also attended fairs and "meet & greet" events.
