Meet Katie!
Katie is a lively five-year-old American Staffordshire Terrier whose heart is as big as her playful spirit and whose black-and-white coat gleams like polished marble in the sunshine. She's a 55-pound bundle of affection, adventure, and loyalty, always ready for the next fun activity. Whether it's chasing a frisbee, running alongside a bike, or engaging in a tug-of-war championship in the backyard, Katie dives into life with contagious enthusiasm! She’s also a world-class cuddler—after a good play session, she’s all about snuggling up on the couch for hours, soaking in the love and giving it right back.
Katie was trained at a professional facility that specializes in working dogs, and she knows her commands—sit, stay, lay down, come, place, drop it, and leave it—with impressive focus. Her "heel" could still use a little polish when excitement strikes, but she’s eager to learn and thrives with positive reinforcement and structure. Bones and tough rubber toys are her favorites, and she treats every new adventure with curiosity and joy.
Ideal Home
Katie adores children and has been nothing but gentle and loving with her young human companions. However, she needs a home where she can be the one and only animal. She can tolerate other dogs from a distance, but up close, she becomes uncomfortable due to a past traumatic encounter that left her reactive.
Ongoing Health
Katie is healthy, microchipped, spayed, and current on all vaccinations.
Training & Support
Katie knows her basic commands but her "heel" could use some polishing. She thrives with positive reinforcement and structure. She is crate-trained and house-trained, but she does best when she has daily activity and isn’t left out unsupervised for long, as she has been known to chew if she gets bored.
