Meet Catherine: A Tiny Treasure Waiting to Bloom Catherine is a 3-year-old Yorkie mix who proves that the best things come in small, 6lb packages. Like her friend Heathcliff, Catherine was rescued from a difficult hoarding situation. Having lived her life in survival mode, she is now learning—one quiet moment at a time—what it means to be safe, cherished, and loved. Her Personality: Catherine is the definition of "shy but oh-so-cute." She is a tiny lady with a very big heart, though she keeps it tucked away until she knows she can trust you. She desperately wants to be loved, but the world can still feel a bit big and scary to her. She's looking for a patient soul who will let her go at her own pace, offering soft words and gentle pets as she realizes she never has to be afraid again. Her Social Life: Dogs: Catherine finds a lot of comfort in the presence of other dogs. Having a confident canine sibling in the home would likely help her come out of her shell much faster! Cats: Given her gentle, timid nature, she is expected to do well with feline friends. Humans: She is a "one-step-at-a-time" kind of girl. She needs an adopter who finds joy in the small victories—the first time she initiates a snuggle or the first time she wags her tail when you walk into the room. Ideal Home: Because Catherine is so small and easily overwhelmed, she would thrive in a quiet, predictable household. A home without young children (12+) would be best to ensure her environment stays calm and peaceful while she builds her confidence. Catherine has survived the hardest part of her life. Now, she just needs a person to show her that the rest of her life will be filled with warmth, treats, and endless love. All dogs/puppies will be spayed/neutered unless spay/neuter contract is signed with additional deposit.
