Mazda - Catahoula Leopard Dog and Mixed Breed Dog for Adoption in Portland, Oregon

Hi, I'm Mazda! I'm a 4-month-old, 17 lb. male Catahoula Leopard Dog mix, and I may be young, but I already have quite the story to tell.

Not long ago, my siblings and I were sitting in a shelter in California with only 24 hours left to live. We were scheduled to be euthanized, but thankfully, The Asher House heard about us and stepped in just in time. We were saved, brought to safety, and given the chance at a future we almost didn't have.

But our fight wasn't over yet.

After arriving, every single puppy in my group became sick with parvo. We were incredibly ill and needed to be hospitalized so we could receive the intensive medical care we needed. It was a scary start to our new lives, but we were surrounded by people who fought right alongside us and made sure we had every opportunity to get better.

And we did!

I'm now fully recovered, feeling so much better, and finally getting to enjoy what being a puppy is supposed to be all about-playing, exploring, making friends, and soaking up all the love and attention I can get!

I'm dog, cat, and kid friendly, and at only 4 months old, I have so much growing and learning ahead of me. I'll need a family who is ready to continue teaching me all the important puppy basics, like potty training, leash walking, socialization, and good manners.

I came so close to never getting the opportunity to grow up. Now I have my whole life ahead of me, and I'm ready to make every moment count.

All I need now is a forever family to share it with.

My adoption fee is $495 and I'm neutered, have age-appropriate vaccines and am microchipped.

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.
