About Katana

Katana is a charming female puppy who is thriving after a rough start. At around 10 weeks old, she was rescued along with her siblings and mother from a difficult situation in rural Arkansas. Their mother, a brave dog doing her best for her babies, faced numerous dangers while trying to keep them safe and fed. Thankfully, Katana and her littermates are now in a caring foster home where they are receiving the love and care they deserve. Katana is believed to be a Hound/Border Collie mix, showcasing a beautiful blend of traits typical of both breeds. She’s currently about 10 pounds, and we anticipate she will grow to a medium size of around 40-50 pounds. Katana gets along well with other dogs and is assumed to do fine with cats, given her young age. She is spayed, up to date on vaccinations, microchipped, and is on preventatives for heartworm and fleas/ticks. If you're ready to provide a loving home for Katana, please consider applying to adopt her. Transport options are available for adopters in certain areas. They are waiting with paws crossed!
