This Shepherd mix gal was surrendered through no fault of her own when her owner had to move and couldn’t take her along. Now, she’s ready to find a forever home where she can shower her new family with love.
Ketchup is a quiet girl who rarely barks but lights up with joy when she sees her people. She’s a world-class kisser, a loyal little shadow, and absolutely adores kids — though she may take a bit of time to warm up to new adults. Her ideal home would have kids around 8 and up, as younger children can make her a bit nervous. Her foster says she’s a great companion who loves snuggles, but isn’t too needy.
She does great on a harness and has excellent leash manners (no pulling!), though she will happily chase every squirrel she sees. She loves her walks and play sessions. Fetch is one of her favorite games — she’s still working on the “let go” part, but having a blast practicing.
Ketchup has not had a single accident in her foster home. She’s potty trained, kennel trained, and has even been left uncrated while her foster was at work and did wonderfully. She sleeps soundly through the night — whether in her crate, on the couch, or cuddled up in bed if you let her.
She’s full of energy and loves anything she can chew on, especially if there are treats involved. She’s a pro at catching Cheerios mid-air! She knows “sit” and “lay down,” and is currently learning “shake” just for fun. She’s easily redirected and eager to learn.
Her foster’s resident cat tolerates her, so she may do well with a dog-savvy cat given proper introductions. She’s playful and curious around other dogs and may do best with a larger or male dog after slow, proper intros.
If you’re looking for a loyal, playful companion to brighten your days, Ketchup is ready to ketchup with you and start her next adventure.
Ketchup is eligible for our Foster-to-Adopt program, which means you can take some time to get to know her in your home before finalizing the adoption. It’s a great way to ensure the perfect fit!
