Montana is a spayed, three-year-old female, a Catahoula Leopard Dog and Australian Shepherd mix with striking black and blue-gray coloring. She’s high energy, loves to play with medium to large dogs, and is curious but playful with cats. Small dogs can overwhelm her, so she does better with bigger canine friends. She handles car rides well and is crate and house trained, patiently waiting in her crate to go outside in the morning. With new people and kids (ages 6+), Montana may be shy at first but quickly warms up. She is bright, eager to please, and thrives with a patient, experienced handler who uses positive reinforcement. Montana is working on her leash skills and basic manners. On stormy days inside, boredom can lead to some bed-shredding, but she has not destroyed her bed outdoors. While she can get mouthy when excited, she is learning self-control. Montana needs someone familiar with energetic working breeds—a family willing to give her a job, consistent leadership, and love. She’ll repay you with loyalty and enthusiasm. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
