Lars - Cattle Dog Dog for Adoption in West Jefferson, Ohio

Introducing Lars!

**Lars is at our Fresh Start Prison Program. NOT at the shelter and will need transported back for M&G's**

Meet our trio of 9 week old professional troublemakers, each one a chubby little cattle dog mix with the confidence of a toddler who just learned how to run and the morals of someone who absolutely will eat your shoelaces while staring you directly in the eye.

They came in with their sweet mama, but as for dad? Your guess is as good as ours. He remains a complete mystery, possibly a local legend. So we have no clue what else these pups might be mixed with. Expect surprises. Possibly large ones. Possibly small ones. Definitely adorable ones.

These pups are sweet, snuggly, and full of love but let’s be honest: they’re also tiny chaos machines who think your home is an enrichment activity. They will chew your shoes, your cords, your hopes, your dreams, and probably the corner of that one piece of furniture you actually like. They’re working on potty training, but at this age they’re basically sentient potatoes with legs, so patience is required.

If you’re ready for puppy kisses, puppy nonsense, and a best friend who believes you hung the moon (and also that your socks are a snack), these little fluff balls are waiting to make your life messier, louder, and infinitely better.
