Adopt a Black Mouth Cur in California

Black Mouth Curs are versatile, loyal, and athletic Southern working dogs — the breed of Old Yeller. They appear regularly in rural Southern shelters. A rescued Black Mouth Cur is a hardy, devoted family companion that thrives on activity.

California has one of the largest populations of rescue dogs in the United States. The state's warm climate means many rescues operate year-round, and major metro areas like Los Angeles, San Francisco, and San Diego are home to hundreds of rescue organizations.
