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.

Our handsome Haze is an exceptional, all around family dog, who loves everybody, and has not flinched at all during a rescue process that leaves lesser dogs rattled. We've been trying to piece together Haze's backstory, and here's what we know for sure: He was found as a country stray by the Surrey County Animal Control Officers in North Carolina. An owner was located but refused to retrieve him. Haze’s bum luck finally improved when our shelter contact transferred him to our care. Due to his stellar temperament and personality, Haze has become one of the superstars in our big dog playgroup. He loves all the dogs that he has met here! Now, it is time for Haze to live a life of his own, one where the human-dog ratio is more reasonable. He is so full of life and personality. At two years of age, he is a young adult who still has a bit of the puppy Mojo going on. Haze is like a kid in a candy shop, soaking up new experiences with sheer glee. He is a super dog who would do well in any type of environment. Haze appears to be a Catahoula Leopard dog, perhaps mixed with a smidge of Bluetick Coonhound. He lives up to the lovable reputations of both breeds. He is a large dog, at a lean weight of 45 pounds. His short, flat, tri-colored coat is black, with the unmistakable “leopard” spots, and a lot of ‘ticking.” Haze has a mischievous twinkle in his eyes, and he always looks like he's flashing a giant smile. Haze is a very happy-go-lucky guy, and would be a great addition to an active family with older, dog savvy kids. He is friendly and will give everyone in the family equal attention. Haze is not one to play favorites, and he is very stranger friendly. He could also join an active single or couple, who can provide at least one to two brisk leash walks daily, as well as focussed play time so that Haze can get the exercise that he needs to get his yayas out. Haze has good house manners, and is house trained and crate trained. Adopters should expect to troubleshoot the occasional accident that will inevitably occur during his transition to a new home. He has been neutered, and has received routine vaccinations and health screenings. If you are interested in Haze, please write to Angelsfrgod@aol.com or call/text Denise at 860-908-9738 for more info.
