Quartz is one of a litter of Catahoula puppies who were saved along with their Mom, Jewel, from a high kill shelter in Texas. They have been in foster care since they were born and are happy, social loving puppies. Quartz is an active boy who loves to play with his siblings. He is quite independent and happy to explore the yard. He is slowly learning what toys are for and working on crate training. Quartz is stunning both inside and out and will make an active family a wonderful addition. He is a talker and likes to let you know his thoughts when he's hungry or wants to play! 

Catahoulas are energetic intelligent dogs who need a firm kind owner who will be consistent and who understands the needs of training classes and updates. They are an assertive breed originally bred to hunt hogs in Louisiana and as such can be challenging for the first time owner. BUT should you take on that challenge you will be rewarded with unwavering loyalty and an amazing family member. 

PLEASE do your research on this breed and feel free to ask questions! Puppies are a TON of work and need plenty of time to learn where to potty and how to behave. We prefer to home with families who will not be gone too long during the day as these guys are pretty young and will need lots of company and socializing. We require home and reference checks before adoption and our adoption contract requires puppy training class and spay/ neuter surgery. 

The adoption fee is $400 and covers the puppies shots, and spay or neuter surgery at one of our approved vets. 

As we are purely a foster based rescue we cannot honor meet and greets for anyone without a preapproved application. If you are interested in meeting Quartz please fill in our online application at www.myaarf.org under the forms tab. It will not obligate you to anything but gives us a great tool to begin the matching process for each puppy. We work hard to match personalities and ensure our dogs of their forever homes, so if we think a different puppy might work better for you we will let you know!
