About Katie

Katie is a lovely 3-year-old red and white Cattle Dog who has been spayed and is ready to find her forever home. Having endured a challenging experience, she was found alone in her home after her owner passed away, which has understandably left her a bit anxious. With patience, she warms up and forms meaningful connections, showcasing a sweet side that wants to love and be loved. In her previous home, she got along well with neighborhood children, highlighting her kind nature. Katie is an active dog who enjoys running, so a securely fenced yard or leashed walks are essential, as she can be a bit adventurous. She is house-trained, which should make settling into her new home smoother. Katie is seeking a patient and understanding family willing to invest the time needed for her to feel safe and cherished again. In return, she will offer loyalty and companionship with her whole heart. Start your journey with this wonderful girl today!
