About Katie

Katie is still on the lookout for her forever family, and it's hard to believe she's been waiting for months. This sweet girl has undergone an amazing transformation since being rescued in October 2025. At just 2 years old and weighing around 45 pounds, Katie embodies playfulness and affection. She thrives in her foster home and loves the company of people and other dogs when introduced properly. Katie enjoys doggy daycare, walks, car rides, and cozy couch cuddles. With her short apricot and beige coat, she’s not just beautiful; she’s also crate trained and house trained. Despite a tough past marked by abuse and injury, Katie remains full of love and refuses to let her history define her. However, she does not get along with cats or children, so she would do best in a home without them. It’s time for someone special to take a chance on Katie. If you’re looking for a devoted and loving companion, consider giving her the forever home she deserves. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
