Don't let the name fool you-the only crime she is guilty of is stealing hearts!

At just under a year old and 36 pounds, Miss Demeanor is the perfect "medium" size: big enough to join you on every adventure, yet compact enough to curl up on the couch afterward. With her long, graceful legs, stunning leopard-spotted coat, and bright, curious eyes, she's the kind of dog who turns heads everywhere she goes.

Originally from Alabama, this beautiful Catahoula mix has traded Southern sunshine for the chance to find a forever family that will love her as much as she loves...well, everyone.

Miss Demeanor hasn't met a stranger. She adores people, loves playing with other dogs in playgroup, and approaches life with the kind of joyful enthusiasm that's impossible not to smile at. She brings the fun wherever she goes!

Like any young pup, Miss Demeanor is still growing up and learning about the world. She'll thrive with a family that will continue her training, provide plenty of exercise and enrichment, and include her in all of life's adventures. In return, you'll get an endlessly loyal sidekick with a heart every bit as beautiful as her coat.

If your home could use a little more laughter, a lot more love, and a dog who believes every day is the best day ever, then it's time to meet Miss Demeanor. Not adopting her should be a felony!

Miss Demeanor's adoption fee is $300. This animal is spayed, up to date on core vaccines, and Heartworm negative.

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.
