Hi, I'm Katie<br/>Shih Tzu | Senior | Female | Small<br/><br/>About Me<br/><br/>Katie is a 14 yr old shih tzu mix that was rescued from the PG County animal shelter on<br/>09/08/25. Sadly, her previous owner had taken her there for euthanasia but thankfully the shelter<br/>sent out a rescue plea instead.<br/><br/>She is very low-maintenance – pretty much the only time you hear her is when it’s time for<br/>breakfast or dinner and even then, it’s just a low grumbling sound to let you know you aren’t<br/>moving fast enough! She’s like Mikey – she eats everything!! (If you know, you know..lol)<br/><br/>Due to her limited vision, she will do best in a home with not many or no steps (unless they can<br/>be blocked off) and no young children as she is easily startled. She currently lives in a home<br/>with four small dogs and gets along with all of them but she will be fine as an only dog. As an<br/>older lady, she will probably do best with a family that is home most of the time to let her out for<br/>potty breaks. She will also require regular grooming.<br/><br/>Katie will lay in your lap while you work or curl up next to you while you watch TV. She is<br/>such a sweet girl that will make you smile just from looking at her adorable little face and<br/>watching her tail wag when you say her name. Her appreciation for being given this second<br/>chance is coming through in her personality more and more each day. Come meet her, you will love her immediately!<br/><br/>My Profile<br/>Age: 14<br/>Weight: 9<br/>Good with kids: Unknown<br/>Good with dogs: Yes<br/>Good with cats: Unknown<br/>Fenced yard: No<br/>Suitable for townhouse and/or apartment: Yes<br/>House trained: Mostly<br/>Crate trained: No<br/>Chews inappropriate items: No<br/>Activity level: Low<br/>Special needs: Yes<br/><br/>Meet Me<br/>If you are interested in Katie, consider letting us know by filling out a (no-obligation) adoption application at pgspca.org/adopt.
