Where Your Purchase Helps Support Rescue!

Who We Are

Catahoula Rescue Inc - IL is a small, nonprofit 501(c) 3 group of volunteers dedicated to rescuing, training and rehoming unwanted or abandoned Catahoula Leopard Dogs. Our mission is to advocate for homeless Catahoulas and Catahoula mixes, to place these animals in permanent, loving homes, and to promote responsible guardianship through humane education. Most of our adoptees come from shelters. We also assist Catahoula owners who need help with behavioral or training issues to prevent more Catahoulas from ending up in shelters. All of our dogs are in foster homes; we do not have a physical shelter for you to visit.

Adopting a Catahoula

The Catahoula breed is not for everyone! They are a working dog and need a job that challenges them mentally and physically. Catahoulas excel at herding, agility, dock diving, flyball and many other performance sports. Catahoulas are highly intelligent and do best in active homes. The first step in adopting a Catahoula is to fill out an adoption application. An application can be obtained by contacting us at catahoularescue@cbcast.com We have dogs coming into rescue on a continual basis; so if we don't have the one your looking for now, fill out an application, and we will notify you when a dog fitting your description comes into rescue.

Adoption fees help to offset expenses incurred in rescue. Our tax-deductible adoption fee is $350. All dogs are spayed/neutered, up to date on all vaccines including rabies, microchipped, fecal tested and dewormed and heartworm tested with preventative started if old enough. Dogs over the age of 2 years have an adoption fee of $250. Catahoula Rescue receives no funds from other groups or government sources. Our work is paid for by donations, adoption fees, and the volunteers themselves. If you are interested in adopting one of our Catahoulas in need, please email us for an application.

*Please Remember*: By adopting one of our foster dogs you save 2 lives! It frees up space for a dog in a kill shelter that needs to be pulled and vetted. If our foster dogs don't get homes, we have no room to pull other dogs (most of which need vetting and evaluations by our volunteers). Help us Help more dogs...

Volunteers and Fosters Needed!

Catahoula Rescue, Inc. needs volunteers to help save these great dogs. We need people not only to help foster dogs, but to assist in many other ways. This includes transporting, checking shelters, helping with placement, assisting at adoption days, public relations, and fund raising. You can also Sponsor A Dog! Many people are unable to foster a dog but would like to help. There is no better way to help than to sponsor a dog of your choice. This donation will help offset the cost of vet care, food, and anything else the dog may need. If you are interested in volunteering to help us save these dogs, please contact Michelle or Amanda at catahoularescue@cbcast.com

Please Remember

1) My life is likely to last 10-15 years. Any separation from you will be painful for me. Remember that before you buy/adopt me.

2) Give me time to understand what it is that you want from me.

3) Place your trust in me - it is crucial to my well-being.

4) Do not be angry with me for long, I won't remember why you're mad.

5) You have your work, your entertainment and your friends. I only have you.

6) Talk to me sometimes. Even if I don't understand your words, I understand your voice when you are speaking to me.

7) Be aware that however you treat me, I will never forget it.

8) Remember before you hit me that I have teeth that could easily crush the bones in your hand but I choose not to bite you.

9) Before you scold me for being uncooperative, obstinate or lazy, ask yourself if something might be bothering me. Perhaps I'm not getting the right food or I've been out in the sun too long, or my heart is growing old and weak.

10) Take care of me when I get old. You too will grow old. Go with me on difficult journeys. Never say "I can't bear to do this" or "let it happen in my absence." Everything is easier for me of you are there. ALWAYS REMEMBER THAT I LOVE YOU UNCONDITIONALLY!
