About Cathy

Cathy is slowly discovering the joys of a loving home. Coming from a difficult situation where she had to endure overwhelming circumstances, she initially struggled to eat or interact with people. Thanks to her foster, Cathy is beginning to learn that kindness exists, and safety can be part of her life. She's achieving positive milestones one tiny step at a time. Cathy needs a particular kind of home—one that is quiet, filled with patience, and where gentle hands meet gentle hearts. One comfort in all of this is her affection for other dogs; she thrives around them and would benefit from having confident canine companions who can help her navigate the world. Cathy is also okay living with cats, but she might find small children too much to handle at this time. At 2 years old and under 41 pounds, Cathy is still a bit underweight but gradually improving. While she may not approach you right away, she requires someone who can celebrate the little victories with her as she learns to trust. Beneath her shyness lies a sweet soul eager to experience love. If you can provide a space in your home—and even more in your heart—consider applying for Cathy today.
