Briar Treeing Walker Coonhound & Catahoula Leopard Dog Mix New Orleans, LA

Meet Briar - A Woodland Wonder Ready for Her Forever Home!

Hi, I'm Briar, and I'm a 7 month old bundle of joy with a heart as big as the woods I came from. My story starts a little rough-me and my six siblings were abandoned deep in the forest, sick and scared. We were just babies. When the rescue found us, we were fighting for our lives, battling deadly Parvo.

Thanks to amazing vets, generous donations, and a powerful treatment called monoclonal antibodies, six of us survived. We became known as the Woodland Wonders, and I'm proud to say I'm thriving and ready for my next chapter-with you.

A little about me:
I weigh around 20 lbs now, but I've got a big personality and an even bigger heart.
Just look at my coat-a merle masterpiece that turns heads everywhere I go.
I'm sweet, affectionate, and super playful. Fetch? Catch? Count me in! I'm always up for a game, especially with other dogs.
I LOVE other pups and would thrive in a home with a playmate or someone who's ready to be my adventure buddy.

DNA says I'm a mix of Treeing Walker Coonhound and Louisiana Catahoula Leopard Dog-which means I'm smart, loyal, affectionate, and full of that playful, southern sass. I need daily exercise and mental enrichment to stay happy, and I'll repay you with endless love and goofy grins.

Born in March 2025, I'm still young and impressionable-the perfect age to grow with you, train with you, and love you forever.

If you're looking for a trail buddy, a snuggle partner, and a whimsical soul with a splash of woodland magic, I might just be your girl.
