Hi, I'm Kate - a 28-pound Mixed Breed with a soft heart and an even softer spot for affection. If you sit down, I'll be right there, because my favorite hobby is being loved on as much as humanly possible. I aim to make you happy and I try really hard to listen, especially when snacks are part of the conversation. I'm still polishing my puppy manners (sometimes I pop up to say hello a little too enthusiastically), but I truly want to do the right thing and I catch on quickly when you guide me kindly. Tell me I'm a pretty girl and you'll see my whole body wiggle. I adore squeaky toys, will happily chase a tennis ball, and if you let me, I'd spend every quiet moment curled in your lap soaking up warmth and attention. I can be a bit timid and get startled easily, so the fastest way into my heart is patience - come down to my level and let me approach you when I'm ready. Once I trust you, though, I'm playful and even a little rowdy if you invite me to be silly. I'm looking for a home that will help me grow: someone willing to keep teaching me manners, introduce me to the world at a gentle pace, and build my confidence so I can blossom into the very best version of myself. With encouragement, kindness, and lots of reassurance, I'll be your loyal little shadow who loves you with everything she has. My adoption fee of $300+tax covers the cost of my care and stay here at the humane society. All Pennington County residents must also pay an additional $8 licensing fee at time of adoption. Happy Adopting!
