Howdy! My name is Latte and I am a 5 year old Catahoula Leopard Dog (mix). I LOVE hanging out with my people, riding in the car (especially if we go to my favorite spot – Starbucks for puppuccinos), belly rubs, walks, and treats! I’m gentle, especially with young children, and my favorite thing to do is to play on the trampoline with my doggie friend Zeus! I know basic commands and will “shake†as long as you give me a treat. I weigh about 100 pounds and have the most beautiful eyes – one brown, one blue!
I had been in a shelter briefly when the pandemic broke out. I was adopted, but when things got back to normal, I was returned to the shelter because my adopter decided they no longer needed my company and thought I might be better off in a home that offered more permanent circumstances. When my time in the shelter came to an end, some volunteers rescued me, trained me, and saved my life. Now, I am in a temporary foster home, waiting for my very own person or family who will take me “home†forever.
I am spayed, microchipped, heartworm-negative, and up to date on all my vaccines and monthly preventatives.
My current foster home has lots of children (of all ages), who are around me all the time. I LOVE them! I am very patient and gentle with children and I love when my kid friends play tug-of-war with me. There are also several other dogs, with whom I enjoy playing (I must admit, I prefer a confident male dog). In all honesty though, I am not a huge fan of cats. I am a very intelligent lady and respond well to instructions. I am pretty true to my breed and would love someone who is familiar with my breed so that I can shine and be the best dog for you! I would love a backyard
to play in and spend some of my energy, but once I’m done, I just want to be next to you and be a couch potato. Ideally, I would love to be with someone who works from home, someone I can lay next to all day. Should that someone need to go to work outside the home, I do well in a crate.
I am crate-trained, house-trained, and leash-trained (although I don’t really like loud buses or trucks). My rescuers, who to this day still support me, work long hours and also have cats. That is why I am staying with my foster family, waiting and looking forward to my forever home where I can show you how great of a dog I am!
I have lots of Love to give; would you take me home forever and let me show you? I promise, I will be your best girl. Come adopt Latte today!
