About Katy

Katy is a 3-year-old, 26-pound black and white dog with a gentle and watchful nature. She's looking for a calm, adult-only home where her boundaries are respected. Katy can be unsure about new people and prefers to set her own pace in interactions. With a bit of patience, she builds trust and opens up over time. Katy has lived with cats and might thrive in a quieter household with a predictable routine. She can be a bit more sensitive around men, particularly those with facial hair, so gradual introductions in a low-stress environment are key to helping her feel safe. Those willing to give her the time she needs will find Katy to be a loyal and loving companion. Her bond deepens as she becomes more confident. Stop in to meet Katy in person during our adoption hours.
