Ocean - Catahoula Leopard Dog and Mixed Breed Dog for Adoption in New York, New York

Meet Ocean.

Meet Ocean, a handsome New Yorker with a very special feature, one beautiful blue eye as blue as the ocean!

Ocean was found as a stray here in New York and eventually landed at the NYC ACC. When the shelter ran out of room, we stepped in to give this sweet boy the second chance he deserved.

Ocean is an energetic, happy fellow who absolutely loves his treats! He's sweet and eager to please, but he's also still learning and needs some guidance and direction. With patience, positive reinforcement, and plenty of yummy rewards, this handsome boy is sure to thrive.

Ocean has the looks, the personality, and that unforgettable ocean-blue eye. Now he just needs a loving home to show him how wonderful life can be.

Could Ocean be the one who makes a splash in your heart?

Want to learn more? We'd love to tell you! Our bios are just a snapshot, so please reach out to our adoption team with any questions about Ocean's personality, medical history, or ideal home. We'd be happy to help you determine if Ocean is the perfect match for your family.

All dogs will be altered, microchipped, and receive age-appropriate vaccines prior to adoption.

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.
