Adoption Fee $400 plus tax
Meet Katie, a young dog with a wonderful personality. As a stray found on the streets of Mississippi, not a lot is known about her past. Once a very vibrant soul, shelter life and a long transport to Minnesota caused this sweet girl to develop shy behaviors, but she is learning to come back out of her shell and is building confidence with every day.
Katie is a quiet house guest who is fully potty trained and loves spending time in her kennel and the yard. She has really started to enjoy walks and does pretty well at walking on a leash. Her goofy personality reveals itself more and more as she learns to trust her people, and she is sure to put a smile on your face with her silly antics.
Her favorite hobbies include chasing bugs in the grass, chewing on bones, and watching squirrels. She is a chin-scratch-connoisseur and will adorably ask for affection by nudging your hand or pressing her head against your chest in a sign of trust.
Katie is a teenager who’s mastering the ropes of being a family dog, so she is still learning that counters aren’t for surfing and socks aren’t for stealing. She did well with the dogs in boarding, has been afraid of the cats she sees outside, and ignores kids that ignore her. While Katie has not shown aggressive tendencies, any children in her future home should be dog-savvy and know not to push her boundaries or make loud and sudden movements around her.
The perfect home for Katie will understand that a little bit of patience goes a long way, and they will find joy in seeing her personality blossom. Waiting just below the surface of this timid girl is an absolutely amazing dog who adores being pet and has such a fun personality. The right environment will see her flourish into a perfect member of the family, and her rescue community can’t wait to see her succeed.
Potential fosters or adopters should be willing to invest time in building a strong bond with Katie. A gradual introduction to new experiences and people, along with positive reinforcement training. Having a confident dog in her new home would be a great benefit to her as she can learn from them to trust the humans around her.

Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet. *The pet you are viewing is a rescued pet which is most often from an animal control facility and does not come with a pedigree. The breed(s) listed are our best guess and are in no way guaranteed. Sometimes the pets appear to be a particular breed(s) in the pictures we receive from our rescue partners and when they arrive we are surprised to see an entirely different breed(s) in person! If you choose to DNA test your adopted pet, test results may vary from company to company and our breed guess may not be reflected in those results as it is just that, our best guess. It is with deep longing that we wish there was a breed called 'cute' as we believe all of our dogs would fall under this new breed classification!
