Meet Shorty -- a very sweet boy with a big heart! Shorty is a happy, loving little guy who just wants to be close to his people. This adorable 1.5-year-old Catahoula Leopard/Beagle mix, weighing about 44 lbs, was saved at the very last moment from Polk County Shelter. He's a truly special boy with striking heterochromia--one warm brown eye and one beautiful blue--that make him unforgettable. At first, Shorty was scared and unsure, but once he realized he was safe, his personality blossomed. Now he's full of love, kisses, and tail wags! He's still a bit shy, when meeting new people, but he warms up quickly and shows his affectionate side in no time. Shorty adores other dogs and loves running around the house with his canine friends--he fits right into the pack! He's also cat-friendly and doesn't bother them at all. He'd be happiest in a home with another friendly dog to keep him company. Shorty is crate-trained, potty-trained, and learning his leash manners like a champ. He has a low to medium energy level and enjoys a mix of playtime and snuggles. While he's a bit nervous getting into the car, he absolutely loves the ride once it's underway. And don't let his short legs fool you--this little guy can really move! Shorty is the perfect blend of gentle, loyal, and fun--a wonderful companion ready to bring joy to his forever family. He is fully vaccinated, microchipped, and neutered.
