My name is Kat Von D!

Hey it’s me! Kat Von D! I am an adorable 9-month-old Blue Heeler mix. I am a petite little lady, weighing in at 26 pounds and I probably won’t get a lot bigger. I am a bit underweight still and am working on that which is pretty cool because I love to eat! I have cute whiskers and the softest coat! I am all personality, and I have the sweetest demeanor. I am shy at first, I sat in my foster mom’s lap for a long time when she first brought me home from the shelter. Now that I am familiar with my foster home, I am a little firecracker! I make everyone laugh with my silly antics. As you can see by my pictures I am one of those dogs that cocks her head sideways when I hear any kind of curious sound.

   When I first met my foster dog siblings, I was intimidated and then soon became indifferent towards them. After a few days, my confidence and personality started shining through and now I want to play! I could wrestle my foster sister for hours. I am an energetic girl who could hike, bike, run, and take on the world with you all day! I will settle down though and sleep in my crate, especially at night. Sometimes if a lot is going on in other parts of the house, I let out a quiet whine, because I want in on the action! But when everyone in the house goes to bed for the night, I too am out like a light.

   If there is one thing you should know about me, it’s how smart I am! My foster mom has easily taught me to use a doggy door, sit, to run into my crate with a verbal command, and I am getting so good at being patient and waiting when she opens my crate door. I don’t run out until I get an “okay!” As is common with some herding breeds, I can be a little “mouthy”.  This is most certainly not meant with aggressive intent. When my foster mom gets home from work, I am so excited to see her that I like to gently put my mouth all over her hands, this is how I show my love and affection when I am really excited! So far, I haven’t tried to herd any of my foster humans around like livestock. I would love any kid but, would do best in a home with respectful kids over the age of 8. I could potentially mistake those smaller kids as sheep with the way they like to run.

  For me to be successful in my future home I need a good routine and to be a part of a family that has solid rules and expectations of me. I go on a nightly walk with my foster family and am so light and polite on the leash! My potty training is perfect when I am on a potty schedule. I am a great girl in the car! I’m a curious and I like to stare out the window and after a while I just curl up and go to sleep, not making a peep. I am highly food motivated! I can be more standoffish with men in the beginning but give me a day or two and I will be your best pal! Soon I will be sitting on your feet while you do the dishes.
