- Katie from Protege
Looking for a devoted companion? If so, Katie (Protege #0153) is your girl! Katie is a 10 month old red-tri Australian Shepherd, nicely sized at 30 pounds. She is spayed, heartworm checked negative, up to date on vaccinations, and currently on flea/tick/heatworm preventatives.
Katie is friendly, outgoing with all people, and loves to be cuddles and petted. She has plenty of energy for activities like going for a walk or romping in the back yard, but settles in nicely in the house when it is appropriate to do so. Katie is housetrained and crate trained, and walks nicely on a leash. Katie gets along well with other dogs, and LOVES to be around children. We feel Katie would do best in a home without cats as she follows them around trying to get them to play. In the right home with a lot of patience and training, she could potentially share a home with a dog savvy cat.
Katie fusses initially when crated or left alone in the house because she wants to go with you wherever you are going, but she does settle and quiet down after a bit.
Katie is seeking a forever home with a family with room in their hearts for all the love she has to share with them, and room on their couch for snuggling. Katie is fostered in Cedar Rapids, Iowa; contact Jayne at mcjayne@yahoo.com for information or with questions.
