Katara may not be a waterbender, but we would be happy to bend over backward just to see this little lady smile. Katara is a little pup with a big heart, and while we don't know her exact backstory, we do know that she's been working hard to relearn to trust people. But when she does trust you, she bonds deeply and wants nothing more than to cuddle you and show you love.

Katara gets a bit overwhelmed by a lot of noise and commotion and other dogs invading her space. Her foster reports she gets along super well with the other dogs in the house, but does need to be fed separately. She also does not do well with children, and although we have not seen her interact with cats yet, we do believe she would do best as an only child in a quiet house where she can spend lots of time with her favorite human--you! Katara does have a chronic UTI that can sometimes result in urinary leakage. She's currently working on resource guarding and we're excited to show you the tools for her continued success! Her foster reports she is the cuddly and adorable little lady, who has plenty of energy, loves car rides, and is a superstar on leash!

This sweetheart joined us from Hitchcock Road Animal Services after being surrendered to the shelter for being "too old." She's looking for a home where she can live out her golden years in peace.
