Babe Ruth - Sweet, Silly, and Ready for Adventure

Babe Ruth is the kind of pup everyone falls for. This adorable Catahoula Leopard Dog/Black Mouth Cur mix is about 7 months old and currently weighs around 32 pounds. We expect he'll mature to around 40-45 pounds, making him a great medium-sized companion for an active family.

Babe is a handsome brindle-and-white boy with big, expressive brown eyes and a soft, shiny coat. He has the sweetest personality and genuinely loves everyone he meets. He's one of those dogs who makes friends wherever he goes. Whether it's family, visitors, or complete strangers, Babe greets everyone with a happy stumpy tail and a gentle heart.

Like many Catahoulas and Black Mouth Curs, Babe is smart, athletic, curious, and loves being part of whatever his people are doing. He enjoys exploring, learning new things, and turning everyday life into an adventure. He's the type of dog who will thrive with a family that wants a true companion by their side.

His favorite activities include running, playing with other dogs, chewing on bones, carrying around toys, and chasing balls. On the ranch, Babe has created his own version of an agility course. He happily hops over small fences, balances on top of dog houses like Snoopy surveying the neighborhood, and bounds across the yard with his ears flopping in the breeze. Watching him play is guaranteed to make you smile.

Babe is wonderfully social and enjoys playing with dogs of all sizes and breeds. He's also doing very well on leash walks. He likes to stop and politely sniff hello before continuing on his way. One of his funniest habits is weaving between your legs while you walk, as if he's making sure his favorite person is always protected.

Babe is neutered, microchipped, up to date on vaccinations, and potty trained on a schedule.

His ideal home will have time for continued training, play, and plenty of togetherness. He'd love a family that enjoys weekend adventures, hikes, lake days, neighborhood walks, and cozy evenings on the couch. Catahoula and Cur mixes are known for their loyalty and strong bonds with their people, and Babe is no exception. He doesn't just want a home; he wants to be part of the family.

If you're looking for a sweet, affectionate, goofy young dog who will keep you laughing, join you on every adventure, and then curl up beside you at the end of the day, Babe Ruth might just be your perfect match.

Babe is ready to find his forever family.

Understanding transport: Once everything is all approved, dogs are scheduled on transport using AJC Rescue & Transport (https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100083418067425). Transport means dogs are carefully and thoughtfully moved via scheduled air conditioned/heated vans from our doggy ranch in Fulshear, TX to a location near you. Each transport consists of a team of two drivers who can alternate. This is how we communicate in real time. The driver who is not driving, will be updating the group chat. You will be included in this group chat to track your dog through transport. You will also be given exact location and scheduled time of arrival. Our drivers do everything possible to run on-time however, things such as traffic, weather etc. can affect arrival time. You will updated regarding delays or possible early arrival. Keep in mind, dogs on transport stop for bathroom, walk and food breaks. For safety, all dogs are crated during transport.

We use what we think is the best dog transport service in the region and have for years - Andrea and her crew really offer first class transport!
