Story
Meet Kate.
Kate is a gorgeous one-year-old, 70-pound Golden Retriever/Bernese Mountain Dog mix. Kate is as sweet as she is beautiful. She is a tall dog with shiny wavy black hair. Coming originally from a puppy mill for the first three months of her life, she still carries some emotional scars. She is still tentative and a little skittish. She loves people and attention, but still tends to back away until she is comfortable with you. Sudden moves or loud noises intimidate her, but she eager to give and receive affection. Once she feels safe with you, she will be your best buddy.
Beyond the occasional zoomies in the yard, Kate is probably the calmest one-year-old you’ll find. She is housebroken, good in the car and good on the leash with no pulling. She can do basic commands. She has done well with any dogs she has met in foster care and has never shown the slightest sign of aggression. Kate is very quiet inside, but likes to announce neighbors and dogs in the neighborhood when she’s outside. She still has a few puppy behaviors, like occasionally wanting to chew shoes. But, beyond that, she is just a delight.
Kate will need a quiet home, void of a lot of commotion, so she can be relaxed and live her best life. Kate is a gentle soul and needs equally kind adopters who are willing to give her the time and patience to work with her insecurities. She LOVES to be outside. She is much more self-assured when she’s outside, and for this reason, needs to have fenced-in yard in order for her to continue to gain confidence. If you feel you have the right home to give Kate the life she deserves, please apply today. She will reward you with being the sweetest dog ever.
Kate is fostered in the Cincinnati area. Her adoption fee is $275.00.
To adopt this animal, please visit https://www.louieslegacy.org/adopt
All of our animals come spayed or neutered, up to date on age appropriate vaccinations, are microchipped, heartworm negative, current on flea/tick and heartworm prevention, dewormed, and treated for any ailments found upon veterinary examination. The adoption fee covers a portion of these services, and makes it possible for us to continue rescuing animals.
For more information on the adoption fees and the adoption process, please complete our adoption application here: https://www.louieslegacy.org/adopt - an application allows us to get to know your family better so we can assess whether the animal you are interested in is a good match for your home. An application does not obligate you to adopt. Please understand that due to the volume of applications some animals receive, we are unable to contact all applicants. If your application is considered a good fit for the animal you are interested in, or even a different pet, a volunteer will give you a call as soon as possible.
We are a foster based rescue and do not have a shelter location where animals can be seen during the week. Please see our Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/LouiesLegacy for our weekly adoption album if you are interested in meeting an animal in person. Not all animals attend every adoption event, please check our Facebook page for animal event times and locations before you make a trip to meet a specific animal.
