Catahoula Leopard Dog Dogs Available for Adoption

This handsome lad is Rufus. He’s a Catahoula Leopard Dog mix, with an approximate DOB of July 2024. We’re just getting to know our new friend, and we already appreciate his wonderful combination of traits: smart and silly; playful and gentle; quiet, yet curious and ready to be part of the action. Sadly, he was dumped in the country and lived outdoors for more than a month. He’s adjusting well to life indoors and enjoys meeting our volunteers. He appears eager to learn. Generally, Catahoulas are smart, family-oriented companions. We expect the same from Rufus and will update this post as we learn more.

If you aren’t intrigued by his good looks, surely you’re intrigued by his wonderful mix of traits, simply complete and submit the application, and a volunteer will contact you.
