Harlem is a young, playful Catahoula Leopard Dog/Carolina Dog mix turning heads with his rare light merle coat. At just around a year old, Harlem stands out not only for his looks but for his easygoing and outgoing nature. He immediately greets everyone he meets, and if you give him the chance, he’ll try to climb into your lap for some affection. Toy time and zoomies are highlights of his day, and he bonds closely to his people, always looking to be near them—a real velcro companion. Despite a rough start as a stray and showing some kennel stress in the shelter, Harlem’s resilient and loving side shines in his foster home. He’s known for giving kisses and forming deep connections with those who care for him. Harlem has a higher energy level compared to most, so he thrives with active people who enjoy walks and outdoor play. He gets along well with other dogs and currently lives with several, but like any dog, proper introductions are needed. Harlem is neutered, fully vetted, microchipped, and ready to go home.
