Samantha is our dearly departed five year old Rottweiler & Catahoula Leopard Dog mix that used to live with Alyssa Verner & Greg Maimone. Alyssa found her on Petfinder, a great place for finding your next dog, cat, bunny, horse, or iguana. Samantha was fostered by a wonderful woman named Linda, who fosters many other dogs and is a part of the Hanover Humane Society. Linda's operation is called Hickory Hill Canine Rescue.

What in the world is a Catahoula Leopard Dog, you ask?
The Louisiana Catahoula Leopard Dog is believed to have originated from Nordic Wolfhound being introduced some three to five hundred years before the Spanish arrived - However, no one will really know for sure. The state of Louisiana is cited as the point of origin, particularly the area of Catahoula. In 1979, the breed was designated the state dog of Louisiana. The Catahoula was named after a Parish in Northeastern Louisiana and after the mottled spots on its coat. The United Kennel Club and the American Rare Breed Association recognize the Louisiana Catahoula Leopard Dog.
And a Rottweiler?
The Rottweiler is basically a calm, confident and courageous dog with a self-assured aloofness that does not lend itself to immediate and indiscriminate friendships. A Rottweiler is self-confident and responds quietly and with a wait-and-see attitude to influences in his environment. He has an inherent desire to protect home and family, and is an intelligent dog of extreme hardness and adaptability with a strong willingness to work, making him especially suited as a companion, guardian and general all-purpose dog.
