It's so lucky he was discovered and got medical care when he did!  He's doing wonderfully in his foster home, with both dogs and humans. At events he meets children and has done so well with all of them as well! He loves ice, water, food an toys.  Overall- he's a fun, active, sweet boy. He's high energy, so he loves having a buddy to play with and going on walks. He loves to snuggle his humans, especially while he catches a quick nap. He's a quick learner too- he knows sit, shake and come. We're working on lay down. He has really great recall and goes by the door to ask to go potty. He even goes right in his crate when it's bed time. Is your home right for Bubba?

Check out our Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok for more pictures & videos of our adoptable dogs!Updated: 11/30/24 Dog Name: Lily Sex: Female Estimated Breed Mix: Catahoula Leopard Dog Approximate Age: 1 year Approximate Weight: 40 lbs Adoption Fee: $450 Description: Lily was found in a small rural Texas town and then went to a high kill a shelter with her days numbered. Our Texas partners saw her potential and were able to pull her from the shelter for us. Lily is such a good girl! She has loved every human she's met, big to small, older to younger. She's learning quickly with the help of her foster mom! She doesn't love her crate, but she does pretty well in one. She just barks for 5-10 minutes after she's put in it, but then will settle down to sleep through the night. Her fosters just tested leaving her out overnight. She had free reign of the house but just chose to curl up and sleep soundly on the couch. She's getting better at walking on a leash too! We aren't quite to loose leash walking yet, but with her training collar there was only pulling when a squirrel ran past just out of her reach. Her foster mom is not a runner, but ran with her for about a block and thinks she would make a great running buddy if her future adopter is a runner. She's mostly potty-trained. Her fosters learned that she won't vocally ask to be let outside, but she does very well being let outside on a schedule. There was one time so far that she sat at the door and looked at foster mom and that was her way of asking to go outside.  Her foster brothers have done a great job teaching Lily to lay down and relax; she's napping more and more every day. We think she would do wonderfully in a home with another dog who likes to play. She mostly plays with her doggo foster brother that's also about a year old. The 12 and 5 year old doggos will play with her for a bit, but then tell her they're done and she's pretty respectful of that. Keep-away and tug-of-war are their favorite ways to play. Lily is also very good at fetch (she's learning 'drop it'). She has an average amount of energy for a dog her age. A typical day for her consists of alternating between napping and playing. When her foster mom works from home, Lily is either sleeping on her feet or nearby or playing with the other dogs. She learned 'sit' and takes treats so gently! We're working on learning 'shake' currently. Lily rarely barks. When she does it's typically at a new person entering the home with her tail wagging excitedly. She's never had an issue jumping up on people, it's just not her style! This gorgeous gal is going to make a wonderful addition to a lucky home!  We are a Wisconsin state licensed dog rescue -WI# 402433   ***We do not have a central adoption center at this time.

I am quite content playing on my own and will play a bit with a squeaky toy or a bone. I will fetch, but I do get bored rather quickly.  I am eager to please and will put myself in a timeout if you tell me I'm naughty for, well, for doing something I guess I shouldn't have done. I take treats nicely and am learning to sit and wait for my meals. I like other dogs but am 50/50 on cats. They are quite interesting. I love to go outside and go for walks. I am always on the lookout for deer. This sweet boy is playful and loves affection! I am searching for my family! Could that be with you?        We are a Wisconsin state licensed dog rescue -WI# 402433   ***We do not have a central adoption center at this time.
