In need of foster/adopter Dixie > -Purebred TN |
|
Update Sept 24th-
Aside from Shorty none of the TN purebred Houlas have had any interest from
Mondogs.
We are moving them all to the temp foster pages in hopes that someone will
see and adopt/foster them. They are all being fostered by one person
and really need individual homes with time to spend with them. We just don't have the space on the main page. :( Dixie could be called a "Stealth Catahoula": she's a beautiful black girl with brindle trim, though you'll have to take our word for it, as this picture was taken in the shadows. Dixie is a high energy, full blooded catahoula. She has no aggression whatsoever. She loves to work and run. She is a little shy, but also very friendly and loving. She would benefit from obedience training. She was rescued by a breeder who is working with CRI to find her a home. contact: Mary D. info@catahoularescue.com 979-561-8155 Aug 13/07 |

In need of foster/adopter Elan,-Purebred TN |
|
Elan's nickname is "stick boy". He likes to carry a stick in his mouth, kind of like a toddler
who walks around with a thumb in his mouth. If you throw a stick for him, he will retrieve it
for you. He is good with other dogs and the few times he's been around children he has been O.K.
with them. He's in a kennel made of cattle panels and he has never jumped out. His kennel is
next to other adult male dogs and he has never fought through the fence with them. He has no
hearing problems. Elan has not had much training but he's a smart dog and anxious to please.
If you give him a job he would give his all. This is a very speical dog and his foster mom
loves him dearly. She wants him to go to someone that will love him as much as he will love them.
By the way he was named Elan because it means "friendly" in a Native American language.

In need of foster/adopter Mandy, -Purebred TN |
|
Mandy weighs about 45lbs and is a littermate to Shorty, Brandy and Sandy. They were born on December 15,
2005. Like Shorty, Mandy is very shy but not aggressive. She is a little shy of other dogs but will
buddy up with one or two. Mandy needs a home with someone that will patiently show her that life is
good and people can be trusted. She's is safe,
but living in an outdoor kennel. Mandy is dreaming of a kind family who will share their home with her.

In need of foster/adopter Sandy, -Purebred TN |
|
Sandy is a pretty red leopard girl. Weighing in at about sixty-five pounds, she is the big sister to Shorty,
Mandy, and Brandy. Sandy is very good with people and other dogs. When she first arrived at her foster home
she was shy, but she came around very fast. She listens well and would like nothing better than to please
someone. She has not been around very many children, but has shown no aggression to the few she has met.
Like her brother and sisters, Sandy is not in danger,
but she is kenneled out doors. She would love to be in a home with a family of her own.

In need of foster/adopter Brandy, -Purebred TN |
|
This pretty patchwork girl is Brandy, littermate of Sandy, Mandy, and Shorty.
Her foster mom describes her as friendly, very sweet, and smart. She is safe for the time being,
but needs a home of her own where she can get the attention and love she deserves.

In
Boarding Lucas, Sparta, IL |
|
UPDATE
09/24/07: Lucas is now safe at a boarding kennel. Though
it's a very nice facility, he's looking forward to a home of his own.
Could it be yours? Thanks to the amazing generosity of a recent
Catahoula adopter, we're planning to transport Lucas from the shelter to
a boarding facility sometime this week. |

In Temp Foster Care Bandit, GA |
|
THRIVING under TEMP foster care,
NICE BOY Bandit is a Catahoula x Australian Cattle Dog cross, a handsome guy with a
lot of brains and a lot of energy. Bandit is very clever and sensitive, and extremely
people-oriented: it almost seems like he can read your mind, and anticipate what you
would like him to do! When you first meet him, he might seem a bit shy, but he is
just naturally cautious. Once you've been politely introduced, he will lean against
your knee and give you a paw (or two!). But he knows life is too short to sit around
for long, so get ready to be invited to play! Bandito has a whimsical playful side
and he'll soon be sprinting around you, playing peek-a-boo, and rolling over to
show you that even if he's strong and fast, you're the boss. Careful not to push
you over, he might feint at you but won't jump up on people. He doesn't lose
his sense of humor on his back, either, waving his arms around and 'talking'
to you if you let him know what a funny boy he is. Bandit is up to date on
his vaccinations, neutered and housetrained. If you want a brilliant,
funny dog who lives to please you, look no farther: Bandit is your man!

In Temp Foster Care Mirk, - Purebred Idaho |
|
Can't believe his owners just threw him away. STILL WAITING!! THIS IS WHAT HIS TEMP
FOSTER MUM SAYS ABOUT HIM. WE NEED AN ADOPTER PLEASE. THIS IS A PUREBRED CATAHOULA
This dog is outstanding! Mirk's age is estimated to be 18 to 24 months and he will
be neutered before going to his new home. Energy level is moderate to high,
although Mirk settles nicely in the house when asked. He is good with other dogs,
but likes to be the boss. Right now he is living with several male border collies
and one female border collie and everyone is getting along well...plus, they have
the same energy level! Mirk is very athletic so will need an active home or possibly
a working or sports home. He is not a nuisance barker and does not dig. He is very
smart and an extremely quick learner.
Some human will be very lucky to share their life with this dog! |

Needs Foster/Adopter Gracie (now Peggy) Northwest TX |
|
Update Aug 26th-
Peggy is still in boarding, and is needing people badly. She has so much
to give a person or family who wants an active, loving, intelligent
Catahoula girl. Although she is safe, she needs to trade her chain-link
kennel for the love and caring of a real home! This pretty blue leopard girl wandered up to a house in a small country town. The homeowner loves dogs, and has kept her for a couple of weeks. However, the woman has more dogs than her limit, and a neighbor complained. Animal Control came Friday, and said if the dog isn't gone by Monday, they will give her (the person) a big ticket, and take the dog. This locality doesn't have an animal shelter, and the law allows them to euthanize seized dogs immediately. Gracie is about 15 months old, has beautiful brown eyes, and loves to play with her human. Her sad foster mom says Gracie loves to please, and eyes that will melt your heart. Contact: Mac

In a Shelter Bingo -Middle aged guy looking for a friend NY |
|
Update Aug 26th-
Still needs a home Bingo was on Monday's Dogs in February, he is still at the shelter. Bingo is a 7 year old male Catahoula with a troubled past, although none of the troubles were his fault. He was purchased as a puppy, then dumped at a shelter when he was a young adult. (his people were moving and could not take him). Lucky for Bingo, the shelter he ended up at did their best to find him a wonderful home. Which they did! However, after a few years at his new home with an older lady , her living situation changed (her son and his toddler moved in with her). Bingo was not happy about having to share attention from HIS Mom with the new arrivals, and did not welcome their arrival . Bingo NEVER nipped at this small intruder in his life. But he tried to correct what he saw as inappropriate behavior by growling at the toddler. His Mom decided she had to give Mingo up...so she returned him to the shelter she adopted him from. She was IN TEARS and unsure if she was doing the right thing...but she left Bingo, at 7 years old, at the shelter. Bingo is altered, up to date on his shots, housetrained, loving and loyal. He needs a home that will COMMIT to him for the rest of his life, where he can be "The King Of The Castle". Mingo is picky about his canine friends (some he likes OK, some he doesn't). Mingo needs a FOREVER Home, and soon. He has already spent too much of his life in a shelter! Contact: Tina Wright northeast@catahoularescue.com June 25/07 |

In a Shelter Iowa Boy Marengo, Iowa |
|
Update Aug 26th-
I'm still at the shelter hoping I get a break soon. It's loud and
scary here and I don't like it very much at all. I'd really prefer
a warm bed and a human to love and snuggle with. This guy showed up in an Iowa shelter. He is in a no kill shelter but they are full and need the room. He looks like he has a natural bobbed tail. So handsome!!!!me!!!! The shelter says he's very sweet but scared. CRI can help arrange transport to people that want to adopt dogs from out of state.

Needs Forever Foster Buster - NALC Registered Senior CA |
|
Update Aug 18-
BEGGING FOR BUSTER.. HE SO WANTS A STABLE HOME FOR HIS LAST SENIOR
YEARS. THE OLDER THE VIOLIN THE SWEETER THE MUSIC. Guys he is over
the puppy nonsense, ready to just hang out and be someone's friend. He
still is active and can be reasonably so. I will take an adopter that
will commit for the rest of his life or I will take a hospice foster..
until he dies I need a commitment. Buster is a sweet 10 year old
Catahoula boy who has fallen on hard times. Buster was one of the
beloved dogs of a young woman who ran into some trouble and had to move
back in with her parents. Her folks didn't care for the dogs, and when
she was out of town for a few days, they took her dogs to the shelter.
Buster is safe with a temporary foster, but he needs a permanent home.
Buster is a very mellow sort of boy: he has had basic obedience
training, and is easy to work with. He LOVES children. Buster is a
little choosy about his canine friends: he doesn't like other males or
pushy, dominant females. Laid-back females are his companions of choice.
Buster has a heart murmur, so his exercise requirements are modest. He
would be very happy with a couple of walks a day and a fenced yard to
explore. If you love Catahoulas, but could do without a high-drive dog
who needs to run for miles and miles, Buster would make an excellent
companion.
