Story

Arlo is a sweet, loving Catahoula Leopard Dog/Pit mix who has been part of our family and is looking for a new home where he can get the time, attention, and care he deserves. He is a goofy, affectionate boy with a lot of personality and loves being around his people. He can be playful and energetic, but he also loves relaxing and getting attention. Arlo does have a sensitive stomach and skin, so he does best with a consistent diet and appropriate food. He is currently on a salmon-based, lower-calorie diet with omega oil supplements to help support his skin and overall health. We are looking for a loving, responsible home that will be patient with him, keep him on a consistent routine, and treat him like part of the family. Arlo would do best with someone who has the time and commitment to give him the attention and care he needs. He is a sweet, goofy, affectionate, loyal boy who deserves a home where he can truly thrive.

Male, Young

Columbus, GA

Size

(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Details

Good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Enzo was dropped off in a basket at my friend’s door in February of 2025. He was the cutest puppy I had ever seen and my friend was allergic so I agreed to take him in since he was a stray and it was freezing cold out. We planned on fostering him until we found a home for him, but unfortunately I was not able to find one. We eventually decided to keep him, but due to our increasing responsibilities away from home, it’s become impossible to give him the attention, care, and possible training that he requires. He ends up having to spend most of his days in a kennel when we’re at work or away. He’s a loving and energetic boy who loves to play fetch and run around in the yard with his toys. He hasn’t been exposed to many other humans or dogs, and can be a bit of a handful around new people and pets at first due to his energy but he means well. He’s about a year and a half old now. We love Enzo but he deserves someone who can give him more time and attention that he deserves.
