ADOPTED ON 11-01-14 – Wyatt is a male, 36 lb Catahoula cur mix. He is neutered, heartworm negative, up to date on vaccinations and approximately 6 months old.  He is in good health. Wyatt was around 4 months old when he was picked up by animal control in Winnsboro, Louisiana and was scheduled to be euthanized. Patrick’s Pals couldn’t stand to see such a beautiful dog be put to sleep, and fortunately for Wyatt, he ended up in a wonderful southern foster home.

Wyatt is a laid-back country boy. He enjoys playing with other dogs, but prefers to stay by his foster mother’s side while she makes her way around the farm, as she does the daily chores. He does not chase the livestock or the barn cats. While the other dogs go swim in the pond Wyatt hangs with his foster Mom on the ATV. He absolutely loves going for rides in the truck. Wyatt’s house training is still a work in progress. He does excellent in  a crate and walks well on leash. Wyatt has an excellent recall and comes when called. He is very focused on his people and aims to please. Wyatt has no apparent fears at this time.  He will be low maintenance in the grooming area, as he does not shed much. Although he is only 32 lbs at this time, he will grow into a much larger dog. Male Catahoula’s are generally between 65 and 90 lbs.

An ideal home for Wyatt would be one with lots of space. He really enjoys doing his job and helping with the chores on the farm, and it would be great if he could continue doing this in his new environment. He absolutely loves people, and is incredibly responsive. He would do best in a home where the new owners were home more frequently than not, as being with people is at the top of his list!  He has only been around children aged 12, but his foster mother says she thinks he would do well in home with children, because he loves people so much!  If you have room in your heart and your home for Wyatt please fill out an adoption application and help him find his Fur-Ever home!

• Children need to be taught how to how to approach and touch dogs, and always supervise any interactions between dogs and young children.
• No dog should ever be left unsupervised with a child because often-young children don’t understand that a cute little dog, or any dog, might not want “love and kisses.”
• Never let young children pick up a puppy or small dog. Instead, make them sit on the floor with the dog in their lap. Pay attention to the dog’s body language, and put him safely in his crate if he appears to be unhappy or uncomfortable with the child’s attention.
• Always teach children how to approach and touch dogs, and always supervise any interactions between dogs.
• Teach your child never to approach any dog while he’s eating or sleeping or to try to take the dog’s food away. No dog should ever be left unsupervised with a child.
• Be prepared dogs will protect themselves
• Most important, it is your responsibility to make sure that your children and the dog are supervised at all times and safe. You cannot leave it up to the dog, the dog is an animal and will behave like an animal. They rely on us to guide and protect them, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
• THIS IS YOUR JOB, NOT THE DOGS
