Catahoula Leopard Dog and Mixed Breed Dogs Available for Adoption

Opossum
Catahoula Leopard Dog Mix
Male
DOB: 2/09/25
Adoption Fee: $200

Opossum in the house!!! This handsome boy is looking for a home to call his own. He was rescued with a bunch of other dogs who haven't had much interaction with people. Opossum is a very shy boy, and we're currently working on walking on leash. He got his name because when he gets very nervous, he likes to play dead in the hope that he can make the scary thing disappear. He wasn't sure how he felt about being outside, but that first time he got to walk around out there, he didn't want to come back in. He's quick to let you know when he wants some attention, so be prepared to make him the center of your day. We know that with some patience, love, and a bit of training, he will blossom into an outgoing, confident companion. He does seem to really like other dogs- they give him a confidence boost- so he would do well in a home with another dog who is friendly and welcoming. If you're looking for a dog that you can give all your love to and who will put a smile on your face no matter what, he could be the one for you!Please read the animal bios completely before requesting additional information as we do our best to answer the most frequently ask questions in these bios.

We are an animal shelter and therefore are not able to individually potty train our residents. Many adult dogs do arrive "house broken" however due to animal behavior any change in environment will make an emotional impact on the animals and therefore initiate unwanted behaviors during the acclamation period. Please keep this in mind. Puppies do not have the biological maturity to maintain absolute bladder or bowel control and will require a certain degree of potty training and house breaking. Please consider the time and commitment it takes to provide the necessary building blocks for these special babies, prior to submitting your application.

The Catahoula Leopard Dog, a unique and versatile breed originally from Louisiana, is known for its striking coat patterns resembling a leopard. These dogs are esteemed for their intelligence, loyalty, and exceptional working abilities. With a strong instinct for herding and tracking, they excel in diverse roles such as hunting, herding, and search and rescue. Renowned for their protective nature and affection towards their families, Catahoula Leopard Dogs make devoted companions for owners committed to providing them with proper training and stimulation.

The mixed breed dogs, often referred to as mutts, are a diverse and unique group with a blend of different characteristics from various purebred dog breeds. These dogs come from a mixture of lineages, resulting in a wide range of sizes, coat types, and temperaments. While each mixed breed dog is distinct in its own right, they are known for their resilience, adaptability, and often have fewer health issues compared to purebred dogs due to their genetic diversity. Mixed breed dogs make wonderful companions for families looking for a loyal and one-of-a-kind pet.
