About Kat

Kat is still hoping for her forever home—she’s quick to bond, eager to run, and honestly just wants people to love. She recently visited a family and hit it off with their dog, but the timing wasn’t right for them, so she’s waiting patiently. Kat is a Blue Heeler/Spitz mix, around 15 pounds full grown, with a plush, short coat that brings out her fox-like, bright-eyed look. She’s great with dogs, cats, and kids. In fact, she really needs to have another dog friend in her home. Kat thrives on activity and brains: she learns fast, craves outdoor runs, and has a tiny frame, even if her photos make her look bigger. She needs a fenced yard for those zoomies. People often ask about her ‘Spitz’ side—think tiny Pomeranian energy and floof, but packed into a clever, petite body that’s loaded with character and affection. She’s equal parts cuddler and adventure buddy, lighting up when she gets to stretch outside or learn something new. Kat’s ready for her joy and whole heart to finally find the right family. Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
