About Katy

Katy is a sweet and gentle miniature long-haired Dachshund, about a year old and weighing in at 8.3 pounds. She loves to go for walks, play in the yard, and enjoy car rides with her favorite people. This affectionate girl is both leash and crate trained, and she gets along wonderfully with dogs of all sizes, cats, and older children. Katy shares a close bond with her friend Kobe, a two-year-old male mini long-haired Dachshund, and it would be fantastic for them to stay together in their new home. While they can be adopted separately if the right homes come along, keeping this little pair together is preferred. Since Katy has that Dachshund curiosity, a securely fenced yard would be ideal for her. She is spayed, fully vaccinated, microchipped, and tested negative for heartworm and tick-borne diseases. Plus, she is up to date on her preventatives. Adopters from anywhere are welcome, as long as they can travel to her foster home to meet and adopt. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
