Description

Posted Breed: Catahoula Leopard Dog / German Shepherd Dog / Mixed (medium coat). Adoption Fee: $685. To apply to adopt this dog now, complete our adoption application HERE To see our upcoming events where you can meet some of our dogs, please see HERE Age: 5 months (as of 2/19/24) Weight: 16 pounds (as of 2/15/24) Location: RI This dog has been spayed/neutered, is up to date on shots, on heartworm preventative and is microchipped. Value and her littermates have been kenneled and separated from home life since early October 2023. They are shy and slow to warm up to people and experiences because their interactions have been limited. They are looking for quiet homes who will slowly integrate them into new experiences. Due to this we do not recommend them for home with children. They would likely love to live with another resident dog role model. Value and his siblings enjoy playing together inside their kennels or in a small yard. They enjoy toys, and sometimes like to engage in a game of tug-of-war or fetch. Value and her littermates suffered from a bout of parvo, but they have fully recovered since then. They all do well in their crates but have not started working on housetraining yet. We strongly recommend that all of our dogs, especially puppies, attend obedience classes because you get to learn commands together, and it can build confidence and socialization for the dog. It's also fun! It often takes a lot of time, energy, and patience to bring up a puppy--and it's absolutely worth it. Medical Note: Val is a parvo survivor, and she is still gaining weight. Her last symptoms were on 12/6/2023, and we are so happy that she is okay now! An adoption donation is required for each adoption; please see HERE for more information about this.
