Catahoula Leopard Dog and Hound Dogs Available for Adoption

Malfoy was named after the bully in Harry Potter because he is mean to his brother. He is a sweet boy, just likes to bully his brother so we split them up. Malfoy loves attention and affection, but can be shy at first. He was kept in a horse trailer with little socialization, which explains his behavior. Malfoy is also playful and curious. He will do great with other dogs and probably kids too. Mom is a Catahoula Mix but we have no idea what dad is...possibly a Hound. He has one blue eye and a black speckled nose. He is very handsome! Malfoy is about 3 months old now and will be big when full grown, maybe 60-70 lbs. If you would like more information, please contact the shelter at 870-269-5200 or go to our website at schspets.org and complete an adoption application and someone will contact you for a meet and greet.
