Sally Visits for Wet Nose Wednesday [Sponsored]

Sally is a beautiful six-month-old Catahoula-mix dog looking for a good home.

The Catahoula Cur is an American dog breed named after Catahoula Parish, in the state of Louisiana. The history of the Catahoula dog breed extends from prehistory through modern times, in the early 21st century. Catahoulas are highly intelligent and energetic. They are assertive but not aggressive by nature. Catahoulas in general are very even tempered. Males tend to be more obnoxious than females, but Catahoulas are very serious about their job if they are working dogs. They make a good family dog but will not tolerate being isolated, so interaction with the dog is a daily requirement. When a Catahoula is raised with children, the dog believes that it is his or her responsibility to look after and protect those children. Many owners will say that the Catahoula owns them and they can be insistent when it's time to eat or do other activities. Catahoulas are protective and a natural alarm dog. They will alert one to anything out of the ordinary.

Tammy, from the Humane Society of West Michigan, brought Sally into the studios. Sally has been spayed, vaccinated, micro-chipped, and socialized, and is ready for adoption. Tammy mentioned that the Humane Society is having a dog/cat/small critter special, excluding puppies and kittens. Through the 21st, dogs are only $50, and it's "name your own price" for cats and critters!

You can get all the information on Sally and adopting, by visiting the society's website or call (616) 453-8900.

Tammy also mentioned that Monday, March 30th is their annual fundraising party, Paws, Claws & Corks! It begins at 6 p.m. in the Steelcase Ballrooms of DeVos Place, downtown Grand Rapids featuring live and silent auctions, with food and wine sampling from 12 area restaurants.  All of the information is on the society's website.
