Catahoula Leopard Dog and Hound Dogs Available for Adoption in Horn Lake, Mississippi

Meet Holly: Holly is about a 3.5 year old (as of May 2026) Catahoula / Hound mix (best guess) that weighs 34 pounds. Holly was found as a stray with her litter of 8 pups in a rural area in Mississippi. Luckily the person who spotted them took them and dropped them at a local animal shelter. We heard about the need to get them into a rescue and were able to step up. Holly is currently being fostered in the south and would love to take the freedom ride north to Pennsylvania to meet more prospective families. Holly is sweet, smart, mild mannered, and very quiet. Holly has been a great mom and a great guest in her foster home. Holly gets along great with other dogs. Holly has been around cats and is interested in them. She will run and bark at them and then lick her new little friends. Holly is still being evaluated for her house training status. We would love for Holly to have a home with a fenced in yard so she can play freely. Holly is up to date on her shots and is spayed as of May 14th. If you are interested in a sweet, polite buddy, please go to Charlie's Crusaders website (www.charliescrusaders.org) to fill out an application.
