About Kate

Kate is the total package: sweet, smart, and ready to jump into whatever comes next. She's a young, energetic girl who mixes playfulness with genuine devotion. After being found as a stray, Kate quickly befriended her finder and has continued to win people over with her gentle spirit, eagerness to please, and undeniable charm. In her foster home, Kate is thriving—she's housetrained, learning her crate, and picking up new tricks every day. She already knows how to sit and is working on stay, place, down, wait, and shake, showing a real intelligence and desire to learn. Consistent, gentle guidance works wonders with her, especially if treats or toys are on the line. Kate shares the house with another dog and loves canine company, following her foster sibling’s lead and joining him for play, exploring, and relaxed downtime. She’s had positive experiences with dogs both in foster and at the shelter, making her a strong candidate for a home with another canine friend. Outside, Kate enjoys walks, sniffing around, and even splashing in a kiddie pool. When it’s time to relax, she is a true snuggler who likes to nap near her person, craving affection and connection. Those big, expressive eyes? They’re full of love and trust. Kate continues to grow more confident every day, especially with patient, kind people willing to continue her training and encourage her progress. She blossoms with a routine and would thrive in an active but peaceful home, ideally with another dog to show her the ropes. Whether you’re off on an outing or settling on the couch, Kate is always by your side, wagging tail and gentle gaze included. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
