About Curly

Meet Curly, a striking Mountain Cur with a brindle and white/cream coat, rescued from a dire fate on March 30, 2024. This large adult, estimated at 3-6 years and 60-80 lbs, is a gentle soul overwhelmed by his past. Fearful but not aggressive, Curly longs for connection and thrives with a calm demeanor. He’s sensitive to noise and would benefit from a kind, confident female dog to guide him, making him a perfect fit for a patient, low-traffic home.

Characteristics

  • Gentle & Sensitive: Curly seeks safety and connection despite his fears.

  • Loyal Potential: With time, he’ll bond deeply with a patient owner.

  • Good with Dogs: Thrives with a confident female dog as a companion.

  • Needs Calm: Prefers a quiet home without young children.

Health and Care

Curly is neutered, up to date on vaccinations, and has a clean health check as of October 2025, reflecting his recovery from a tough start. His adoption includes a microchip with registration. Currently too fearful for touch, he needs a slow, pressure-free approach to build trust, ideal for an experienced owner offering a steady routine.

Curly’s Story

Curly, a Mountain Cur, was saved from a grim fate and arrived at Castoff Pet Rescue in Blairsville, GA, on March 30, 2024. Overwhelmed and fearful, this brindle-and-cream beauty has struggled in the shelter, his sensitive nature clashing with the noisy environment. Not aggressive, just scared, Curly’s tender heart yearns for a safe haven.

With no prior chance at love, he’d flourish with a kind female dog and a patient human who can move at his pace. Too frightened for touch now, Curly’s transformation awaits someone who sees his potential and offers unwavering support over the past 553 days.

Ideal Home

Curly would thrive in a patient, quiet home with a securely fenced yard for calm exploration. He’s best for adults or families without young children, needing a confident female dog for companionship and a low-traffic setting. Someone experienced with fearful dogs, offering a steady routine and no pressure, will help Curly heal. A rural or suburban setting in Blairsville or nearby, with space for his growth, will make his journey to love complete.
