Featured pet: Kate

Sweet, friendly, wiggly Kate is looking for a home. Kate’s life started in a breeding facility where she churned out litter after litter after litter of puppies. As tends to happen, Kate grew older and was replaced by a younger dog. No longer useful she was cast aside but luckily she made her way to our shelter and we are determined to find her a loving home.

Like all dogs who live in mass breeding facilities, Kate was deprived of the basic joys that dogs are meant to experience. She was not walked, she did not have opportunity to romp and play and she has not known the comforts of a loving home. Despite this, Kate, though quirky, is well adjusted and she is well behaved in the house. At first, stairs were a challenge but with time, she overcame her trepidation. She can also be a little timid of men she does not know but once she becomes familiar she is fine.

Kate doesn’t tend do well with dominant females but she isn’t leash reactive. She did great at our recent dog walk where she encountered many other dogs of all shapes and sizes. She is not, however, a dog park dog.

Kate is 6 years old and she is a Giant Schnauzer. A tad overweight, for optimum health Kate will benefit from losing a few pounds. Not overly energetic, she enjoys long leisurely walks which are sufficient to meet her exercise needs. Kate loves being with people and is happy to be out and about exploring the world.

If you can provide Kate with the home she deserves, one where she can make up for all those lost years of doggy happiness, we’d love to hear from you.
