Meet Christian, the incredible 2-year-old Mountain Cur/Shepherd mix who's ready to steal hearts! ❤️ At around 35 pounds, this boy has a story that will tug at your heartstrings. He spent the last four months in an overcrowded rural shelter and was even on the euthanasia list just this week! 😢 But don’t worry—this gentle soul has found a way to better days, and he’s on the lookout for his forever family! Christian came to refuge as a stray, bravely protecting two puppies he believed were his own. Talk about a doting dad! While at the shelter, he became a volunteer favorite, soaking up all the love and attention he could get. 🥰 He’s been brought up-to-date on vaccinations, neutered, and microchipped. Although he tested positive for heartworm disease, the rescue has already started his treatment—fully covered! All you need to do is give this sweet boy a comfy place to rest and recover. He’s reported to be dog-friendly and shows respect towards his canine companions. 🐶 With people, he’s a real charmer, and rumor has it, he’s great at giving happy puppy dog kisses! 😘 While we’re not sure how he feels about cats, a slow introduction in a cat-savvy home might help him adjust. There's just one little quirk to Christian: he tends to guard his food. So it’s best to feed him separately from any other furry friends in the home. 🥴 But don't let that dim your heart—he’ll return the love tenfold! This sweet and affectionate boy has waited long enough, and he’s ready to shower his new family with unconditional love and joy! So, could you be the loving home he’s been dreaming of? Don’t wait!
