Catahoula Leopard Dog and Plott Hound Dogs Available for Adoption

Meet Penelope 💕

Penelope is an 11-week-old Catahoula/Plott Hound mix with the sweetest little soul and the biggest heart. This beautiful girl may have had a rough start to life, but you’d never know it by the way she loves.

Penelope and her littermates were born out in the woods, where their brave mama did her best to keep them safe. When the puppies were finally old enough to start exploring, a kind lady spotted them and reached out for help — and we were more than ready to jump in. Thanks to that second chance, Penelope is now safe, healthy, and ready to find a forever family of her own.

This sweet girl is the definition of snuggly. Her favorite place to be? Curled up in your lap, soaking up all the love she can get. She has a gentle, affectionate personality and will happily melt into you for cuddle time after a good play session.

Penelope also enjoys playing with her ball and discovering the world around her like any curious puppy. She’s currently working on house training and doing great for her age. With consistency and patience, she’s going to grow into a wonderful, well-mannered companion.

She is current on all vaccinations and ready to start her next chapter. If you’re looking for a loving, loyal little best friend who will adore you endlessly and keep your lap warm, Penelope is your girl. 🐾💗

Foster & delivery Information — Please Read

We encourage adopters to read profiles fully and reach out with any questions — we are always happy to help. Inquiries through the site are not always coming through. If you send an inquiry and we do not answer, we didn't get it. You can use our direct email at atasnp@gmail.com or text/call 469-241-0000.

Upcoming Transport
Friday & Saturday — February 20th and 21st.
Please see pick-up locations below.

Important transport notes:
• We cannot do meet-and-greets. The trip is long and demanding, and it would not be safe or fair for a dog or puppy to travel north and then return to Texas.
• No deposits are accepted.
• All adoption fees are paid in person at pick-up.

About Our Rescue
Atlanta Texas Area Spay Neuter Project is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. Adoption proceeds go directly toward:

All dogs remain in Texas foster homes until adopted.

Breed Disclaimer:
Breed is our best estimate based on the puppy’s appearance and, when known, the mother’s appearance. Fathers are rarely known, and litters can have multiple fathers, meaning puppies may be half-siblings with different breed mixes.
