Lil Girl’s Story
Lil Girl is a 2-year-old puppy with a heart as big as her potential. At approximately 55 pounds, this Catahoula Leopard Dog and Shepherd mix is a bundle of energy and love. She enjoys playing, exploring, and snuggling with her favorite people. Her intelligence and curiosity make her a quick learner, while her protective and brave nature ensures she’s always looking out for those she loves. Lil Girl gets along wonderfully with other dogs and children, making her an excellent fit for a family looking for a loyal and lively companion.
Lil Girl lacked some early socialization, which led to challenges in a previous foster home with children, where she would jump up on them. Unfortunately, that family didn’t take the time to work with her. However, at 2 years old, Lil Girl is coming into her own and thriving with the right attention and guidance. With a patient and dedicated owner, she’s ready to shine as a loyal and loving companion. Currently thriving in her foster home, she’s ready to transition to a forever home where she can continue to grow and share her affection.
Ideal Home
Lil Girl would thrive in an active home with people who love outdoor activities and have time to engage her playful and curious nature. She’s great with other dogs and children, making her a fantastic addition to a family or a home with other canine companions. However, her new family should be prepared to provide consistent training and attention to help her overcome her early socialization gaps, particularly with behaviors like jumping. Her athleticism and intelligence would make her a great candidate for activities like training, hiking, or playtime in a secure yard. A loving and attentive family ready to provide structure and affection will help Lil Girl flourish.
