WE ARE SEEKING A LOVING AND ATTENTIVE FOREVER HOME for a beautiful Catahoula Leopard dog. He was found as a stray, wandering the streets two months ago, obviously neglected and starved, but has spent the last two months being safely fostered by a very caring friend. A recent vet visit confirmed he is about a year and a half old, in good health, medium-sized, and weighs around 30 pounds.
He is absolutely stunning, with one blue eye and one brown eye. He is highly intelligent and has A LOT of energy that needs to be channeled through long walks once or twice a day. He responds extremely well to training. He loves kids, adults, and other animals. He currently lives with dog and several cats, and he constantly wants to play with them. All he wants is to please his humans, and to give and receive love.
We will do everything possible to ensure he goes to a loving, caring, and responsible family. The ideal match would be an active and patient owner who loves hiking and regular exercise. A large backyard would be great too!
We are in Riverside area, SoCal.
