Description:

Meet Katie!

Poor Katie was found abandoned with her litter mates up in Northern Minnesota and was taken in by a caring woman who has asked us to her find Katie a loving home. Katie was found when she was about five months old so she had minimal to no contact with humans in her early months of life - she is slowly coming out of her shell and learning to trust people. She
also had a case of puppy Demodectic Mange, which is fairly common in young
pups that had a lack of quality puppy care and is not contagious. Katie went to the vet 8/12/08 and she is now clear of mange.

Katie has been in her loving foster home for a while now and she is being loved and well taken care of but she would really like to find herself a forever home. She has overcome so much and now she just wants a loving home to call her own. Do you have room in your heart and home for this little girl?

5/15/08: This is what Katie's original rescue mom had to say about her:
Katie gets along with other dogs and cats very well. She enjoys being outside walking and hunting for small critters. She can swim well and acts like a lab as far as retrieving sticks from the water. She has a calm energy level. She enjoys naps in the warm sun. She is a bit of a thief.
She will take things that you might set on the ground that you are using for gardening or whatever it may be - shoes too. She likes to grab and run! She sleeps on the floor by my bed at night and is really quiet and calm until morning. She spends more time outside right now than inside so she may need monitoring for house training if indoors full time. She is a bit shy with new people, but she is greatly motivated by food which is a good tool to gain her trust.

7/21/08: Update from Katie's current foster mom:
Katie is getting to be quite the motorboat in the water; she can swim so fast. Katie is now able to retrieve the tennis ball before Spenser, the resident canine friend, can get to it. Katie gets to the ball first and then swims back as far as Spenser is and gives the ball to him and then he brings it into shore! Isn't that the sweetest thing
