Meet Katara, a 3.5-year-old, medium-sized sweetheart who is ready to find her forever family. This special girl is full of love, energy, and personality--she absolutely adores people and has never met a belly rub she didn't like. She's also dog-friendly and enjoys having four-legged pals, though she'll need a cat-free home. Katara is both housetrained and crate-trained, making her a wonderful companion for someone looking for a loyal and affectionate dog. She's playful, smart, and loves learning new things--especially if meaty treats or even pancakes are involved! Her favorite hobbies include swimming, shredding toys, and being by your side for any adventure. Because Katara has a lot of enthusiasm for life, she may be a little too energetic for small children or seniors, but in the right home she will thrive. She does take medication for anxiety, and what helps her most is having a stable home and a predictable routine. With patience, structure, and love, Katara will blossom into the very best friend you've ever had. They say dogs are a man's best friend, and they must have been talking about Katara--because she's just waiting to be yours.
