Meet Autumn, a Catahoula Shepherd mix with a heart as big as her personality. Autumn weighs in around 30-40 pounds and was rescued last November, making huge strides from her scared beginnings to becoming an affectionate family companion. She absolutely adores children—she’s gentle when it counts, happy to soak up attention (even if a tot flops over her!), and she’s working hard not to bowl over the littlest ones when excited. Playful energy never outweighs her sweet, loving nature. Autumn gets along easily with other dogs and has proven to be calm around chickens and horses. True to her herding mix, she likes to keep order, but she’s never been rough. Her fascination with cats? Strong—she’s not aggressive, just a bit too enchanted, so a feline-free home suits her best. Downtime is her favorite, especially when she’s curled up with people. She’s house-trained, crate-trained, and walks easily on a leash. Occasionally, she’ll wander from the yard but prefers just lounging nearby. She’s ready for a permanent, patient home that loves snuggling and has a little room for her big heart.
