About Lady Fka Madam

Madam is a quiet, gentle soul who prefers the softer side of life. She loves curling up in a cozy spot where she can feel safe and enjoy slow, reassuring pets. Calm music is her jam, sudden noise is not- and she firmly believes YouTube ads should be illegal. Madam would thrive in a peaceful home with someone who appreciates a shy dog with a tender heart.

About Catahoula Leopard Dog Dogs

Catahoula Leopard Dogs are striking, versatile working dogs from Louisiana, named for Catahoula Parish. They are known for their distinctive merle coat patterns and often have striking glass eyes (heterochromia). They were originally bred to herd wild hogs and cattle in the swamps.

Adopting a Catahoula brings an intelligent, independent companion who is fiercely loyal to their family. They need an experienced owner who can provide firm, gentle leadership and plenty of exercise. In the right home, they are affectionate and protective family dogs.

Local Climate & Pet Care

Winter

25°F to 40°F

Dec – Feb

Philly winters bring cold temperatures, snow, and icy sidewalks treated with salt. Protect your pet’s paws with booties or wax, and wipe them down after walks. Fairmount Park and the Schuylkill River Trail are still accessible but can be slippery after storms.

Spring

40°F to 68°F

Mar – May

Spring cherry blossoms along the Schuylkill River make for beautiful walks with your pet. Temperatures gradually warm through the season, and parks come alive with activity. Watch for seasonal allergies in pets as pollen levels rise in April and May.

Summer

68°F to 88°F

Jun – Aug

Hot, humid summers in Philly call for shade and hydration on walks through the city. Avoid midday pavement and stick to shaded trails in Wissahickon Valley Park. Carry water for your pet and take breaks in the shade during longer outings.
