Catahoula Leopard Dog puppies and dogs in Groton, Connecticut

This sweet boy was literally a deal dog walking at a local vet. Owners wanted him to be put down. They were having a baby and already had 2 big dogs when they added Brody . So he was last one in their home so he was the first to be "voted off the island"! This guy is very affectionate, playful, crate trained, house trained. Seems to warm up to women quicker than men but has done great with our male volunteers.

NAME, GENDER, AGE WEIGHT & BREED DOG: SWEETIE GENDER: FEMALE DOB: 11-30-22 approx. WEIGHT: 30 approx. BREED: Louisiana Catahoula Leopard Mix LOCATION: Delhi, LA ADOPTION FEE: $450.00 (includes transport) RESCUE STORY Kaylee, our foster’s oldest granddaughter, was with her one day and they saw a dog on the side of the road—she was lovingly obedient and was waiting for the person that dumped her to come back and pick her up. This was not the first time they saw the dog, so Kaylee begged her grandma to turn around and go back. Kaylee gently picked her up and put her in the car—of course they brought her home. It was obvious that this dog was abandoned; they noticed that people had been feeding her with scraps that were on the side of the road. However, Kaylee was very worried that she was going to get hit. Kaylee named her “Sweetie”, she is probably about nine months old and she’s heartworm negative. She’s already on prevention and she’s had all her vaccinations. She just needs to be spayed which we can get done as soon as possible. Sweetie is very grateful and appreciative. She knows that she’s been rescued and she’s obviously a good dog. PERSONALITY Sweetie is a beautiful Catahoula Cur mix. She was blessed with all the gorgeous markings and rich colors on her coat. She is the still a typical “baby” and she craves love, attention, and safety. According to foster mom, she is super friendly, and warms right up to anyone that is dishing out love. She has a sweet disposition and has an all-around sweet nature. She keeps right up with her foster siblings, running, playing, and rolling around the grass enjoying all the silly antics going on. Patricia, her foster mom, tells us that she is not sure how she would be with the cats if left unattended. She is very good-natured, so happy to feel healthy again, eager to learn all about her new life and doesn’t have a mean bone in her body. CHILDREN Sweetie is very friendly loves kids and gets along with all other dogs, however, she is still a puppy, she gets along with anyone. Children will love to run and play with her, but we always strongly suggest that no dog, young or old, should ever be left unsupervised with children until everyone is very comfortable in all situations. ABOUT THE BREED When considering adding a new member to the family it is important to research breeds so that everyone, including the new pup, is comfortable and happy.

Meet BAM! Bam is now 2 years, 2 months old and 62 lbs. He was abandoned in McKenzie, TN at a rental property. HOW HORRID! He had much higher energy back in Feb 2023. But with an AMAZING, dedicated foster Mom...Bam has established a regular exercise routine and he has nicely smoothed out his energy now. Bam's 'thing' is his georgeous blue eyes. They look like jewels glistening at ya! I did the breed app check. And if shows mostly American Fox Hound with mix of Louisianna Catahoula Leopard. I'm going with it as his breed has had us puzzled. Bam is great with all the dogs in his foster home...of both genders, all ages, and various breeds. He is good on leash, rides well, crates & house trained.

Gus is a fun-loving, happy dog that wants to be right by your side. He is possibly a lab - Catahoula mix and has the personality to match both. He has the loving, friendly, playful nature of a lab with the alert, focused, herding personality of a Catahoula. He was found on the side of the highway where he was likely dumped but already had good manners. He comes when called, uses a doggy door, has not had an accident in the house, and sits on command. He has been living in a house with 3 dogs and loves all of them and has no food aggression. He learns quickly and is curious about everything. He wants to talk to you and would like to lead you everywhere you go. He loves to play fetch but returning the ball is not always his plan. He is a great snuggler and thinks he is a lap dog. I doubt he has ever met a stranger. Because he likes to herd and that is in his nature, he might not be ideal for someone with balance issues. He has not been tested with cats but if you have a pet squirrel, watch out. He loves to chase squirrels.
