About Katie

Katie is a super sweet dog with a fun, lively personality. At about 3 years old and 40 lbs, she came to the rescue's attention after being left behind when her puppies were taken by another group. She was on the brink of euthanasia before being saved, and now she’s making the most of her second chance. Katie thrives on outdoor adventures and would do best with a family that enjoys walks, has a spacious fenced yard, and is ready to keep her active. She’s energetic, affectionate, and loves car rides—she’s the type of dog who makes a wonderful travel companion. Katie can pull a bit on the leash in her excitement, but with some patience and basic training, she’ll quickly become a better walking partner. She’s crate trained and gets along well with other dogs and children, but she isn’t suited for a home with cats. With her short yellow coat and affectionate nature, Katie is looking for a home where she can share her energy and love. If you’re looking for an adventurous, loyal companion in Humble, TX, Katie is waiting. Born April 1, she’s an Aries—no surprise, given her spirited nature! Ready to fall in love?
