Description
Dog Breed: Catahoula Leopard Dog (short coat). Meet Dominic! This boy is ready to head to NJ, he just needs an adopter or foster to make the trip Meet Dominic — the Spotted Boy Wonder! If joy had spots, it would look exactly like Dominic. This 2-year-old Catahoula Leopard Dog never met a play session he didn’t love or a human he didn’t want to greet with a big goofy grin. He’s a social butterfly (or maybe a social cheetah?) who loves other dogs, belly rubs, and anything that squeaks. He’s also an inspiration in resilience—Dominic tested positive for heartworm, but he powered through treatment like a champ, thanks to his wonderful foster mom. Now he’s healthy, heartworm-free, and ready to move on to his next big adventure: finding his forever family. If you’ve been looking for a four-legged best friend who makes every day brighter, Dominic is your guy. —you’ll fall for him faster than he chases tennis balls! Dominic is fixed, up to date on vaccines and microchipped. His adoption fee will be $450. Adopting a dog is a commitment that will require annual veterinary care at a minimum, training, exercise, enrichment, etc. Pet care is not cheap or easy and adopters should consider the costs, time and training prior to adoption. After all these dogs have been through they deserve a loving, committed home. If you are interested in learning more about me, and possibly making me part of your family, please go to wag-on-inn .

Overview:
The Catahoula Leopard Dog is a striking and intelligent breed, originating in the southern United States, particularly Louisiana, where they were bred as versatile working dogs. Their most distinctive physical feature is their "leopard" spotted coat, which comes in a stunning array of colors and patterns, often accompanied by captivating "cracked" or "glass" eyes. These medium-to-large dogs possess a strong, muscular build, reflecting their heritage as agile hunters and herders. Temperamentally, Catahoulas are known for being independent, alert, and protective, yet also deeply loyal to their families. They thrive on having a "job" to do and require significant mental and physical stimulation, making them unsuitable for apartment living and best suited for active families with experience handling strong-willed dogs. While generally healthy, potential owners should be aware of a predisposition to deafness (especially in dogs with excessive white markings) and hip dysplasia. Proper socialization and consistent training from a young age are crucial for a well-adjusted Catahoula.
