This handsome boy is a Catahoula Leopard Dog mix, which basically means he's equal parts athlete and professional snuggler. He's got the cool looks and smarts of a working dog... but his true calling? Being your dog. Let's talk résumé: Potty trained (because nobody likes surprise puddles) Crate trained (his little man cave) Great with cats, dogs, and kids (yes, he's the whole package) He's the kind of pup who will zoom around the yard like he's training for the Dog Olympics... and then immediately clock out to cuddle like it's a full-time job. Equal parts playmate and weighted blanket. His absolute favorite hobby? Grabbing a bone, hopping onto the couch, and chewing away like he's binge-watching his favorite show. If you're sitting there too, even better — he believes bones taste best when enjoyed in good company. He's sweet, social, and ready to bring chaos (the cute kind) and cuddles into your life. If your home is missing:


The sound of happy tail thumps
A built-in adventure buddy
A couch-supervisor with excellent chewing technique


He's ready to apply for the position immediately.
