Adopt DQ a Catahoula Leopard Dog / Australian Cattle Dog / Mixed dog in Osage

Location:

Osage Beach, MO

Description:

Introducing DQ, a wise and gentle Catahoula hound mix, whose life experiences have left him looking like an old soul. Despite his mature appearance, our veterinarian assures us that he's much younger than he seems (maybe around 4 or 5 years old), having endured a challenging journey that has shaped him into the loving and resilient companion he is today. DQ's tale began as an unfortunate owner surrender, having spent the majority of his time outdoors. But now, after battling and triumphing over heartworm disease, he is ready to embark on a new chapter in a forever home filled with care and affection. DQ's heartworm treatment was a difficult and arduous process, but his determination and strength prevailed, and he now stands proudly as a heartworm-free pup, eager to share his love with a caring family. His past hardships haven't dampened his spirit, and he yearns for the comfort and warmth of a loving home where he can spend his days basking in the company of his humans.This low-energy, low-activity guy thrives on the simple pleasures of life. His favorite spot is right by someone's side, content to lay at their feet, cherishing every moment of companionship. DQ's heart is filled with affection, and he longs for a family to share his love with. His gentle nature and sweet demeanor make him an ideal companion for those seeking a loyal and devoted friend. While DQ may not be fond of vigorous exercise, his time in the kennel has caused him to gain some extra weight. However, with a calorie-restricted diet and the support of a caring family, DQ can work toward reaching a healthier weight, aiming to be around 50lbs. A family committed to helping him shed those pounds will be rewarded with a happier, healthier pup and a special bond that comes from overcoming challenges together.DQ's past experiences with other dogs have made him apprehensive and uncomfortable around them. He prefers to be the only dog in the home, where he can bask in the love and attention he craves without the stress of sharing space with other canine companions.If you're searching for a devoted and loving companion who doesn't demand much in return except your love and care, DQ might just be the perfect match for your family. His serene and gentle nature will be a calming presence in your home, and his heart will overflow with gratitude for the love and stability you provide. Embrace the opportunity to change DQ's life for the better, and you'll experience the true magic of adoption-a bond that transcends hardship and transforms both your lives forever. Give DQ the loving forever home he so deserves, and you'll find a loyal and affectionate friend who will stand by your side through thick and thin.
