(DOB 04/05/2025) Kevin Bacon is heartworm positive, but please do not let this stop you from adopting him. Our rescue will cover his treatment. For this reason, he is available for adoption within a 1 hour radius of Wake Forest, NC so he can receive his treatment at our partner veterinarian. Don't worry, our rescue will guide you through the process. Are you looking for a handsome, happy, snuggly little guy with piercing blue eyes like the Mediterranean Sea? Well then, Kevin Bacon is your guy! This adorable Catahoula Leopard Dog mix is as charming as they come, with beautiful blue merle markings on his snout and legs that make him truly stand out. Need we say, everything is "better with bacon!!" He's not just good looks, Kevin Bacon is also a well-mannered gentleman. He's house-trained, crate-trained, walks nicely on a leash, takes treats gently, rarely barks, and doesn't shed much. Basically, he's the total package! He loves affection and will lean into you or gently rest his face on your knee for pets. He also rides well in the car once he's in, though he may need a little patience and encouragement getting there. Kevin Bacon is playful, goofy, and full of personality. His play bows are legendary and often accompanied by spins, dances, and the occasional tiny (and we mean tiny!) body slam. He loves to have fun and brings a joyful energy wherever he goes. Kevin Bacon is an active, intelligent dog who will do best with an experienced owner familiar with working breeds. He needs a balance of physical exercise and mental stimulation to stay happy and well-behaved. Daily walks (and remember, he's great on leash!), enrichment activities, and continued socialization will help him thrive and build confidence. He may need thoughtful introductions to new dogs and environments, but he's already shown great progress and adaptability. Someone who is good a chunk of the day or has a work-live schedule that's good and flexible so he can get out for good walks, morning, noon and night is really important for him; he'd love being your partner every day for walks, strolls, or jogs! Also, be mindful of the hot summer days and keep those shorter. He gets along well with other dogs and would likely enjoy having a playful canine companion, especially one who can help build his confidence. That said, he's also independent enough that he could thrive as an only dog with the right amount of engagement. He has done well around children, but due to his enthusiastic zoomies and occasional clumsy moments, a home with older kids would be the best fit. Because he does love chase wildlife, a home without cats is recommended. Kevin Bacon is a special little guy with so much love, personality, and potential. If you're ready for a fun, affectionate companion who will keep you smiling, so go ahead and fill out that application! As part of Kevin Bacon's $300 adoption fee, he will be neutered, microchipped, up to date on age-appropriate vaccines, and current on his monthly flea/tick and heartworm preventatives.
