Pit Bull Terrier and Catahoula Leopard Dog Dogs Available for Adoption

Hi! I’m Oliver — a little survivor with a big heart. I was born in the shelter, and when I was just a week old my mom and I were put on the euthanasia list. But the rescue chose us, and I know I was saved for a reason: to bring joy, laughter, and snuggles to someone’s life.

About me:

Puppy energy with puppy curiosity — I love to explore, play, and chew on (safe!) things.
Super loving and affectionate — I melt into laps and give the best puppy kisses.
Friendly with people and other dogs — I want to make new friends and join the family fun.
Smart and eager to learn — I’ll thrive with gentle training, routine, and positive praise.
Loyal and brave — I’ve already been through a lot and I’m ready to devote my whole heart to you.
What I need:

A patient person or family who understands puppy care: training, socialization, and plenty of playtime.
A safe, loving home with lots of cuddles and consistency.
Someone to help me become the best dog I can be — together we’ll grow into something wonderful.
Why pick me?
I’m more than a second chance — I’m a promise. I’ll bring sunlight to rainy days, wiggles to quiet mornings, and a forever friend who never stops trying to make you smile.

Foster & delivery Information — Please Read
Upcoming Travel
Friday & Saturday — January 30th and 31st

This dog is fostered with one of our rescue families in Texas and is available to travel north on our scheduled trips, which run at least twice each month.

Due to recent technical changes on this site that began in early December, dogs fostered outside an adopter’s immediate area may not appear unless filters are adjusted. We encourage adopters to read profiles fully and reach out with any questions — we are always happy to help. Inquiries through the site are not always coming through. If you send an inquiry and we do not answer, we didn't get it. You can use our direct email at atasnp@gmail.com or text/call 469-241-0000.

Friday & Saturday — January 30th and 31st
Please see pick-up locations below.

Important transport notes:
• We cannot do meet-and-greets. The trip is long and demanding, and it would not be safe or fair for a dog or puppy to travel north and then return to Texas.
• No deposits are accepted.
• All adoption fees are paid in person at pick-up.

Medical & Spay/Neuter Information:
Most puppies travel with two rounds of vaccines, and sometimes three. Occasionally, we may not have had a puppy long enough for a second round.

Puppies under 6–8 months of age are not spayed or neutered. Spaying or neutering is a required condition of adoption and must be completed by the puppy’s first birthday, at the adopter’s expense. Out-of-state surgery costs are not included in the adoption fee.

Breed Disclaimer:
Breed is our best estimate based on the puppy’s appearance and, when known, the mother’s appearance. Fathers are rarely known, and litters can have multiple fathers, meaning puppies may be half-siblings with different breed mixes.
