My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Katie – Your Ride-or-Die Adventure Buddy! 🐾⚡

Calling all runners, hikers, dog-savvy humans, and active families – Katie is here to be your #1 co-pilot in life!

A stunning German Shepherd/Cattle Dog mix, Katie is as smart as they come, with the heart of a loyal best friend and the work ethic of a canine CEO. She’s ready for a forever home where brains, zoomies, and belly rubs are all part of the daily routine.

Katie knows her stuff:
✅ "Place"
✅ "Sit"
✅ "Let’s Go"
✅ "Here"
✅ Crate trained and leash trained
✅ A+ recall – she’ll come running the second you call

She’s a working girl through and through – constantly on the move, always alert, and happiest when she has a job (or two). Katie doesn’t just keep up with the pack… she runs it. Literally! This alpha girl thrives with structure, direction, and a good challenge.

Got a gig for her? She’s on it.
Going for a run? She’s already at the door.
Riding in the car? She’ll call shotgun.

Katie is incredibly observant and learns by watching. She saw her dog buddies sit for treats and said, “Cool, I’ll do that too.” That’s just how brilliant she is. She talks when she’s bored, so keeping her engaged is key — but give her a purpose, and she’s the best dog ever.

She needs:
🏡 A home with a yard
🐶 A companion dog
👨‍👩‍👧 An active family (older kids preferred)
🚫 Not suited for apartment or mobile home living

Katie is a pleaser, a protector, a goofball, and an all-star student. If you’ve got the time, energy, and heart to keep up with this amazing girl, she’ll reward you with loyalty, love, and endless adventure.

Katie’s ready to run – are you? 🐕💨💙AARF Houston transports to approved adopters outside of Texas.
