About Catalina

Catalina's vibrant energy lights up every room she enters. After a tough start—she was hit by a car and left needing care—this resilient girl has healed well. While her broken pelvis mended perfectly, her tail required amputation due to a fracture at its base. Despite this, she compensates with her big personality. Catalina adores people and isn't shy about showing it with affectionate kisses and warm hugs. Like many young labs, her enthusiasm can lead to some jumpiness, but she's been working hard to learn better manners. An active family that enjoys walks, playtime, and fetch will be the ideal match for her spirited nature. Catalina is mostly house trained and crate trained, though she’s still refining her leash skills. If you appreciate the joy of a lab's company and can embrace a pup without a tail, Catalina might just be your perfect match. Ready to meet this lively girl? Reach out today!
