Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. If you're looking for the SPUNKIEST, funniest, most SOCIAL little pup with a HUGE heart, a DEEP SOUL, and a SWEET personality... who LOVES to go on adventures and be your sidekick, and will make you laugh, TITO is the one for you! Tito is a SUPER sweet, SUPER smart, very outgoing, and EXTREMELY well-behaved, 14 month old Catahoula/ Heeler mix pup. He is VERY OBEDIENT, and is house trained, crate trained, leash trained, very good off leash (great recall), and is also trained to jog alongside a bike (on or off leash). He is also a bit SHY to NEW humans, and likes to make you work for his love, but once he learns you're his human, he will open up his heart and want to become your best friend and adventure partner . PERSONALITY & ENERGY LEVEL: Tito has a lot of energy and is super SPUNKY, and absolutely LOVES to play with dogs, so he would do BEST in a home where he can get the regular exercise and socialization he needs. An OUTDOORSY family or individual with another playful pup would be ideal, especially with a fenced backyard! He absolutely loves adventures and is looking for a real adventure partner - with another playful pup - to take him everywhere and show him a good time! But when things calm down, he can chill for long periods of time, and opens a side that few get to see... the softest little TENDER soul, who just wants to turn off the outside world, and snuggle with you and give LOTS of kisses. AT HOME: When his exercise/socialization needs are met, he loves to just CHILL out and hang around the house, and can do just fine at home alone with toys or bones for hours, or if he lives with another playful dog, he will do fine all day without his human. TEMPERAMENT: He is tempered amazingly well, and does NOT have a mean bone in his body, and has shown NO aggression to dogs, pets, or humans. STRANGERS: Away from home, Tito is a little hesitant with strangers, but warms up quickly with intros or treats. At home, he likes to protect/alert to strangers, but usually only when his human is home, but not aggressively. He will usually bark, but with a proper intro and treats, he warms up well to most individuals. KIDS: Tito has been exposed to MANY kids of ALL ages, and will play with kids he knows, but does best with mellow or dog-wise kids. But he is more cautious of hyperactive kids. TITO - LOVES - DOGS!! Tito gets along with ALL dogs and his foster says he has never seen a dog SO talented at getting other dogs to play with him, and is ALWAYS the one to initiate play. He will use every trick he can to get them to play, and will often even SIT on his dog-friends while they're taking a break... to get them to play again, LOL! CATS: His foster has housed a very mellow neighbor cat for many days at a time, and says he learned to get along ok, but definitely struggles to relax while a cat is in the house. And he will chase cats that run. So he would do best without cats. TRAINING: Tito is also VERY smart and learns VERY QUICKLY and knows MANY commands. Like most Catahoulas, he does best with a KIND, but firm leader, but does NOT do well with negative reinforcement!! He is also fairly treat motivated, so treats help! RECALL: Tito comes when called the first or second try about 90% of the time without distractions, or 3/4 of the time around stronger distractions. HOUSE/CRATE TRAINING: Tito is fully house trained & crate trained, and loves his crate, and feels safe in it. WALKS/LEASH: He is great on walks, likes a fairly brisk pace, and loves to use his nose. He does pull, but not hard, and will slow down with guidance. Tito really is the cutest, funniest little boy, and will melt your heart with his love and his SOULFUL personality and will make you laugh on a daily basis. Whoever ends up with Tito, is going to be the luckiest dog parent. He really is such a tender, sweet boy, and is SO VERY friendly, and his bright, spunky, and SOULFUL personality seems to always make people laugh and brighten the mood wherever he goes! All he wants, is a SOULMATE with another fun pup, to be their sidekick and let them fall deeply in love with his beautiful and DEEP SOUL!
