My personality

My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

My mom's name is Stella Marie. She is a stunning Leopard Catahoula who was abused and dumped. She wasn't spayed at the time of being dumped and ended up pregnant. One day 14+ weeks ago, She wandered up to a lovely, fantastic, safe porch. She was paper thin, tired, and thirsty and couldn't move any farther. This kind couple got home from work and saw her on their porch. Immediately, they knew they needed to help save her life. They brought her in, cleaned, and fed her. She slept for quite a while. Then, one day, her foster mom told her foster dad that there were babies.

Not long after that, they counted seven beautiful babies. My foster parents kept the runt. Our names are Robbie (M), Dakota (M), Kingston (M), Fernie (F), Moonlight (F), and Lucy (F). Like most strays, there are multiple dads. My boy Robbie (M) is a leopard also. Dakota (M) is my biggest and sweetest (M), Kingston (M) has a lot of Boxer in him, Moonlight (F) has the shape of a moon pattern in her fur on her rear end, Fernie (F) is a little girl, and her sister Lucy (F) is the tiniest. Lucy and Fernie have German Shepherd features, including their ears standing up. Dakota is a super gentle giant. We are so sweet and nervous around new people for just a few minutes. Then they realize you are ok. Happy babies are full of energy and life.

I love dogs and cats of all sizes. My foster family has two large-breed adult dogs (one a senior) and several cats, including eight kittens of all ages.

My ideal home would be active but unnecessary with another animal or two. I know I would do great with people and older children. I like car rides and pleasing others. I am treat-oriented.

Please request an application, and I will begin my journey home to you. The first person to submit an application and a refundable deposit will be the first to be looked at to adopt me.

More about this rescue

My name is Carla Carlton. We (my husband and I) are retired militay. He served in the Air Force for 25 years. We have always done comunity service. So, when we got ready to retire, we found a place we wanted to live and bought a home. Well, the town we lived in has/had a high kill shelter. This broke our hearts.
Around this same time, I met a lady who fostered for Friends of Homeless Animals, RI. One day I got a call from FOHA there was a poodle in our shelter and he was on the short list. I went and pulled him. Roie (FOHA), helped set me up to foster and list our orphans to adopt with families who really wanted them. I am not sure how long ago it was, 16-18 years, I think. The rest is history. Through them and Mountain Pet Rescue, CO (and a few others in CO, UT, IA, IL, OR, CA, MS...), we have placed over 2500 dogs/ puppies and cats.
