Rescue Dog Behavior Changes Week by Week
Bringing home a rescue dog means observing their behavior changes week by week. Learn what to expect beyond the 3-3-3 rule and how to support your new.
Say hello to Poe, a truly stunning sweetheart whose two-toned brown and blue eyes and striking chocolate markings make him one of a kind. Having experienced uncertainty in his early life, Poe can be a little slow to adjust to new environments, but his gentle timidness never diminishes his love for people. He is a dedicated cuddle bug, a loyal companion, and a dog who deeply desires to bond with his human family, promising unwavering devotion and endless snuggles.
As a Catahoula Leopard Dog, Poe is intelligent and generally good-natured, especially when properly socialized. He thrives in the company of other dogs and would likely flourish in a home with a confident canine friend who can help him continue building his confidence. He has respectfully lived with cats before, and while he hasn't spent time around children, he could do well with dog-savvy kids who understand the importance of gentle introductions and enjoy cuddling. This breed typically has a high energy level and requires significant exercise.
Poe is making wonderful progress with his training and is almost fully potty trained, with only an occasional accident. He is crate trained and walks calmly on a leash, though he may appreciate extra reassurance in busy areas. An ideal home for Poe would be one with patient and understanding individuals who are frequently around, such as a work-from-home household, to provide consistent potty breaks and continued encouragement. He is searching for a family that will give him the time and support he needs to feel safe and confident, in return for a lifetime of love.
