About Kato & Friend

Meet Kato M, a charming adult German Shepherd mix who truly believes he's a lap dog despite his impressive 115-pound frame. He’s not just any pup; Kato comes with a delightful rubber ducky collection that he adores, often playfully tossing one at you to initiate some fun. Kato is house trained, knows basic commands, and gets along wonderfully with cats. He’s sociable with people, having spent time in an office environment, so he knows how to make both playtime and downtime enjoyable. However, it’s important to note that he’s wary of male dogs and would do best in a home where any male companions are extremely docile. This sweet boy is looking for a loving foster or foster-to-adopt home, ideally one that has space for both him and his feline best friend. He’s in a bit of a rush, needing a new place by Sunday. Obedience training is required post-adoption, and a fully fenced yard is a must. If you think you can accommodate this lovable giant and his quirky personality, reach out to start the adoption process!
