ALICIA - CATAHOULA LEOPARD DOG / MIXED (MEDIUM COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Catahoula Leopard Dog / Mixed (medium coat). Hi there! My name is Alicia and I'm a 1.5-year-old female Catahoula Leopard Dog mix weighing about 35 pounds. I have the same name as my foster mom, so they call me Aurora. I'm just about the sweetest girl in the world. I love to meet new people and give them hugs or kisses. I've met dogs between 20-80 pounds and have done fantastic with them all. Playing with them is so fun and I'd absolutely love to have a furry friend in my future home. Confident, dog-savvy cats would be okay too, although I might chase them a little at first. My foster family is impressed with my training! I'm completely potty, leash, and house trained. I lay in the kennel for naps during the day and alternate between sleeping in the kennel or on the bed at night. If you leave the house, I might bark in the kennel for ~15 minutes, but I don't do this too often. More than almost anything in the world, I love stuffed animals!! I could play with them all day. Sunbathing outside is another one of my favorite activities. Something important to know about me is that I have bilateral hip dysplasia. The vet said I don't need surgery (FHO surgery) at the moment, but I will definitely need it in the future when I'm older. For me to stay healthy, my future family must commit to the following: 1) keeping me lean and active with low-impact exercise such as walks; 2) continuing to feed me a prescription mobility diet such as Hill's j/d; and 3) giving me a joint supplement like Dasuqin. If I'm too active, I will limp or walk slowly; my foster mom manages my pain with an anti-inflammatory. Because of this, I'd do best with a canine friend that takes breaks and doesn't play too rough - that way I don't over exert myself. I know this might sound like a lot of work, but I promise I'm worth it! I'm a super affectionate and loving dog that is so grateful for a second chance in life.
