Catahoula Leopard Dog Mutt

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Not good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
We brought her home from the shelter in October 2017, when she was about 4 months old. She was a great dog. Gentle and playful with the senior dog we had until 2021, and gentle with our cats. She used to be generally well behaved with our cats besides chasing them if they would run. Otherwise she just liked to chew them like a corn cob. Unfortunately, she has become randomly aggressive to the cats over the the past couple years. She will snap at them with no warning and has caused serious harm. I have had to keep her in a spare bedroom for the majority of the time. I also started her on Prozac in hopes her demeanor would be more chill. I love her and want her to be happy but I can't provide what she needs - a home without cats and a human that will cuddle her, play, and give her quality attention. She has done great with 3 stranger dogs I've brought over in the past, so im assuming a home with other dogs will be good. She probably needs a dog friend and I won't get another dog.

Story
Juliet, a little over a year old, is a mixed-breed dog. She was adopted from KC Pet Project when she was just two months old by a family member of mine. Sadly, they had to give her up, so I took her in. But, because of money and housing issues, I can’t keep her anymore and still give her the wonderful life she needs. I’m hoping someone who knows how to work with shelter dogs will be interested in her. Juliet has a lot of anxiety, so she needs a lot of love and patience to keep training her. She knows how to sit, lay down, come, and is still learning to walk on a leash. She’s very silly and sweet, but a bit shy with new people and animals, so it’s best to start with calm introductions. Once she feels comfortable, she loves to be petted and has lots of spots that make her leg shake. She enjoys lounging around but also loves being outside and can be a great hiker! There’s so much to love and learn about her, and I’m sure she’ll find another family who will love her as much as I do.

Story
Milo is an energetic, loving and fun dog! He loves to be outside running around, playing with a toy and going on walks. Milo also is a big lover, he always wants to be by you and can guarantee cuddles all day. Milo has been a great addition to our home but unfortunately when we had our baby, his behavior changed and he has a few bad habits including escaping our yard and pottying in the house. We think it has to do with lack of attention because he wasn’t doing this before we had our baby home. It has gotten to be too much for us to handle. Milo would thrive somewhere with a big hard and with someone who can give him the attention he deserves. We just want him to go to a loving and caring family.

Story
This is Koa. She’s 7 years old (DOB 1/28/19). We adopted her when she was a puppy and has been with us her whole life. She is a herding dog and tends to nip but has never truly bitten anyone or broken skin. However, we have a 3 year old in the house and are worried for our daughter’s safety. Koa really should not be trusted around kids but has been fine around other dogs and cats. She really is the sweetest dog though just has a bit of anxiety and is very protective. There is a picture of the DNA test we did when we got her. She is spayed and microchipped. House trained, knows commands, and has an awesome recall. She is up to date on her rabies vaccine. We think she would do best on a farm or at least somewhere with land. We are planning on keeping her until we can find the right home. If you’re interested please reach out and we can set up a meeting!

Story
Zero is a 66 pound mixed breed who belonged to my father-in-law, who recently passed away. We are unable to keep him ourselves and looking for a new family for him. He is sweet, gentle, potty trained, walks great on a leash, good with other dogs (but we're unsure about cats). He loves going for walks and loves running off-leash at the dog park. He is current on his shots and healthy, but overweight. We started him on a diet and he is slowly losing some of his grandpa weight. He has separation anxiety when left completely alone (if there are other pets he does better). He mostly does fine left home without being kenneled, as long as he can't let himself out. He will need some time to get used to being alone in a new place, but eventually settles in. Our other dog has been diagnosed with IVDD and must be on crate restriction for several weeks. Zero's high-energy needs are making recovery that much harder.

Story
Ollie is a very sweet energetic boy who loves his people. He does ok with other dogs females preferably. Cats he's been a little rough with and won't leave them alone. Keeps chasing them. So I would like to find him a home without cats or someone who knows how to work with a dog around cats. He loves to run. He needs someone who has time to possibly run and play with him. He needs to keep his brain active. He is a strong boy and can be stubborn but he loves with all his heart. He is housetrained and he sleeps on the bed or his doggy bed at the end of our bed. I will send everything I have for him

Story
My daughter is a meth addict, recently evicted and living in her car, who dumped 6 cats and a young puppy (maybe 6 months) on me (her mother). She is not coming by my house to feed, water, or care for the animals and they are starving. I have pets of my own and do not have the means to take on her cats or Daisy, considering I'm already fostering her 8 year old son. I will turn 63 in October, work full time, and now find myself back in a "parent" position. As she has abandoned these animals at my home, I am choosing to relinquish them so that they can find a loving home. Daisy is very sweet but has had no training. She can be high energy because of her living conditions (always in a kennel or at the end of a chain).

Story
Got this really sweet dog! His name is Fifer. I love him a lot, and he means a lot to me. Unfortunately, when I got him, I went through an intense major trauma. I can't take care of him anymore. I can barely even feed myself, or get out of bed. He's very sweet, just needs a firm voice and hand. (Can chew through leashes, may need a heavy duty one!)

Story
Asa, (pronounced (ay-suh) often goes by Ace. Her name means healing. She’s beyond spoiled and loved. Her birthday is 12/11/2024. We got her when I was a stay at home, homeschooling mom where Asa was loved, and trained, and cuddled. Due to the husband divorcing, I am now working 10-16hr shifts and relocated to an apartment which makes dog care so difficult. She is 1.5 years old, very cuddly, and playful. She sleeps with me in bed every night unless she sometimes prefers under the bed. She loves my three young children and has never been aggressive. I love giving her various hairstyle like Mohawks or lions mane, but she’s not too fond of the shaver. Asa likes to go on long runs. She is not spayed or vaccinated (if you’re more natural minded). Asa has helped me get through my divorce and this is definitely a heartbreaking decision. I pray she makes it into the perfect forever home that can love her even more than we do.
