Kato landed at the shelter after his former family couldn't keep him because of rental restrictions. At about 2 years old, he's a large, good-looking German shepherd and pit bull mix with a strong, active personality. Kato has the classic friendly streak and plenty of exuberance, sometimes letting his big size and excitement get the better of his manners. Still, he's picked up some obedience and knows a few basic commands. Kato has lived with cats previously, but his interactions weren't closely observed. He has done okay with other dogs, especially with careful introductions. For families, Kato may do best with older children who understand large, enthusiastic dogs. He's neutered, microchipped, and up to date on vet checks. He'll thrive with someone ready to channel his smarts and energy into more training and adventures. Ready to meet your new best friend?
