About Katarina

Katarina is a beautiful 1.5-year-old, 67 lb German Shepherd mix with the most incredible heart. She was found dumped at an abandoned house with her four puppies, doing everything she could to keep them safe. As if that wasn't enough, she later took in and nursed three additional puppies who had been abandoned at just 34 weeks old. This girl doesn't just love; she protects and nurtures with her whole soul. Now that all of her babies are safe, it's finally her turn to be someone's baby.

Ideal Home

Katarina absolutely loves belly rubs and will happily roll over to soak up all the affection you're willing to give. She's wonderful with kids and has a gentle, loving nature with her people. She also loves other dogs and enjoys having canine companions to play with. Katarina does not do well with goats or chickens and would likely not do well with cats, so she needs a home without small livestock or feline friends.

Ongoing Health

No specific health concerns noted.

Training & Support

Katarina is fully potty trained and pretty crate trained. However, she will require a heavy-duty crate if crated, as she is strong and smart enough to break out of a standard wire crate.

Transportation

Katarina is currently located in Texas and can be adopted either locally or out of state. We coordinate with our ground transport teams to ensure she arrives safely to her adopter, and we keep the adopter in the loop every step of the way. Transport costs are included in the adoption fees. We also have our fosters video chat with potential adopters prior to adoption so that the adopter gets to see the animals and ensure it's a fit. We allow adoption fees to be paid via goods and services if desired to give our adopters extra security and protection.
