Catahoula Leopard Dog Available for Adoption in Evansville, IN

Our pet of the week from It Takes a Village is a gorgeous Catahoula Leopard Dog mix named POSEIDON. I love everything about that last sentence!

POSEIDON is a sweet, happy, playful 1-year-old doggy who recently had a great time during a "Doggie Day Out" with a child. POSEIDON showed that he could be gentle and affectionate with kiddos. POSEIDON also gets along with other dogs, but we're not quite sure how he would do around cats.

Our friends at ITV say that an active family would be the perfect match for POSEIDON, where he can continue to thrive and spread his happiness. So, if you're ready to welcome this sweet boy into your home, visit ITVrescue.org to fill out an online adoption application.

All the animals at It Takes a Village are examined by a veterinarian, given age-appropriate vaccinations, dewormed, microchipped, spayed or neutered, heartworm tested, and treated if necessary.

If our pet of the week isn’t the right fit for your home, please visit It Takes a Village to see the other rescues that need to get fostered and adopted. And don't forget about their RENT A DOG Program. A quick fill form and copy of your photo ID will allow you time out with one of ITV's vetted shelter dogs. These day dates are great for the rescues - it gets them some exercise and new information to help us get them adopted. It’s been a big hit- so don’t miss out!
