My name is Katy!

Katy is a Courtesy Listing and is not housed at the Animal Shelter. Please note that the City of Bloomington Animal Care & Control accepts no responsibility for this pet. Potential adopters are responsible for communicating directly with the pet's guardian. Adorable Katy came to the Nest from a local animal shelter as a new born together with her 5 siblings and mom (miniature poodle/bichon). She is a terrier mix and will be about 15(+) lbs. Katy is 14 weeks old, very smart, adventourous, playful, sweet,and affectionate. She is ready to take on the world with a loving humans by her side. We would love for her to go home with either one of her sisters (Helga,Selah) or where there is another pup close to her size and age. Right now Katy is still a blank slate — curious, playful, and learning fast. Her adopter should be ready for the joys (and challenges!) of puppyhood: crate training, potty training, chewing, and plenty of energy....As she grows, she will need daily exercise, ongoing engagement, and continued guidance to become her best self. Bringing home a puppy is exciting — a big responsibility! Puppies need structure, consistency, and lots of positive exposure to the world around them. Socialization, consistent training, and daily interaction are what shape them into confident, well-mannered and happy adults. We highly recommend working with a professional trainer also for the socialization aspect. Please note: someone must be home every 3 hours at this stage of development. Katy means a 13+ year commitment, so please think carefully and consider all aspects of your life before adding her to your home. For Katy we are looking for: a home with active people who can give her all the love, attention and training she needs to turn into happy and well mannered adult dog. We would like for her to go to a home where there is another dog about her size (not more than 25 lbs.) and age (up to 3 years is fine) - preferably male and we would like a securely fenced in yard (sorry, we don't do invisible fences). Well behaved, gentle children - preferably age 3+ - are fine. Katy is current on vaccinations including Rabies, she is dewormed, spayed and micro chipped. Her adoption fee is $325. If you are interested in meeting Katy please fill out an adoption application on our web site. One of our volunteers will contact you should we decide to set up further steps towards adoption.
