KATE*

My story

Kate is the total package, sweet, smart, and ready for her next big adventure! This young, energetic girl is equal parts playful companion and devoted snuggle buddy. Found as a stray, Kate quickly made friends with her finder and has continued to win hearts with her gentle nature, eagerness to please, and adorable personality.Now thriving in foster, Kate is housetrained, learning crate and working on lots of other fun tricks! She already knows “sit.” She’s working on “stay,” “place,” “down,” “wait,” and “shake,” and responds beautifully to kind guidance and consistency. She’s incredibly smart and loves learning, especially when treats or toys are involved.Kate lives with another dog and is clearly a social butterfly with other pups. She follows her foster sibling everywhere, learning from him and seeking out his company for play, exploration, and naps. In the shelter, she was friendly with several kennelmates and enjoyed playgroups with other dogs. She loves being outside, splashing in a kiddie pool, going on walks, or just sniffing around the yard. But don’t let her energy fool you—she’s also a top-tier napper who wants nothing more than to sleep near (or touching) her person. She’s a velcro dog who checks in often and thrives on affection. Her sweet, expressive eyes say it all: “I love you—please love me back.”Kate is blossoming in her foster home, gaining confidence, overcoming fears, and showing how much trust she’s willing to give when treated kindly. Her ideal home is active but calm, with a patient adopter who will continue her training and celebrate her progress. A confident dog sibling would be a huge plus. Whether you’re headed out for an adventure or settling in for a Netflix marathon, Kate will be right there with you—sweet eyes, wagging tail, and all.
