Thor, boxer and Catahoula leopard dog mix
Thor is a sweet male boxer and Catahoula leopard dog puppy currently housed at Heading Home K9 Rescue.
He's been vaccinated.
From Thor's current caretaker:
Thor is an extremely well adjusted puppy who is off to a great start with his foster. He is socialized with kids, dogs and cats, started on the house training, and kennels up well overnight. He plays hard and then crashes hard. Thor loves to play with toys and slowly and steadily wins over every dog friend he meets. He also likes to watch TV with you. If you are up for normal puppy training and exercise and supervision, he may be a good fit!

Here's what Rocket's friends at Save-A-Bull think of him:
My name is Rocket and I like to chew on rocks! A couple of my best features are my puppy dog eyes and floppy ears. I really love all toys — stuffed toys, balls, bones and dirty socks. I could play all day but like lots of snoozes too! Anytime my human's look at me my tail wags harder than anything.

Camellia, American bulldog and pit bull terrier mix
Camellia is a darling female American bulldog and pit bull terrier puppy currently housed at Save-A-Bull.
She has all her shots. Camellia is a special needs pet, so please inquire about her specific care requirements.
More about Camellia:
My name is Camellia, just like the beautiful white flower — I even have a blue and a brown eye. My foster mom says I’m a very special girl because I’m deaf. But being deaf doesn’t hold me back, it just means that I look for visual cues for training. I’m very good at making eye contact with my foster parents and have already learned “come.” I also look at my dog foster siblings, they are easy to follow and really helpful! It’s very important that my forever family is patient and continues to train me using visual cues. I’m a very smart girl and know that when I go outside, I need to do my business. I cuddle up real close and sleep the entire night. One time I got to have a sleepover with an old lady kitty friend. I really liked the kitty, but she didn’t like me and I was very respectful of her. Foster mom says I would do great in a home with doggy or kitty siblings.

Drax, American Staffordshire terrier and Catahoula leopard dog mix
Drax is a male American Staffordshire terrier and Catahoula leopard dog puppy currently residing at Save-A-Bull.
He's already been neutered.
More about Drax:
My best physical feature would have to be my big floppy ears and my awesome baby cow spots. When I’m super excited, I play bow and tippy tap my front feet. I also run like a deer, I’m either prancing or hopping around. I have a weird little "cherry eye, " but that's an easy fix and will be taken care of when I get neutered. I get kind of shy around new people and dogs, so I think training classes could really break me out of my shell. I'm really nice with kids, I’ve met a 4 year old a couple times and didn’t even try to jump up on her. And I live with two cats and just totally I ignore them most of the time.
