Dog's Name: Katelyn (KAT0726OWSFS) Estimated Breed: Cairn / Norfolk Terrier mix Approximate Age: 1.5 year Approximate Weight: 22 LBS Currently Living at: Foster Adoption Fee: $400DOG'S DESCRIPTION: Meet Katelyn a sweet little Terrier mix looking for the right forever home. This adorable young Terrier mix is housetrained, rides beautifully in the car, and absolutely adores other dogs and at 20 pounds makes a great companion for another dog. In fact, Katelyn would thrive in a home with a confident canine companion that she can play with and become her built-in best friend. For Katelyn, having another dog isn't just a bonus—it's a must.
Katelyn is partially deaf, but she doesn't let that slow her down! She adapts wonderfully and responds well with consistency, patience, and visual cues. Because she can't always hear people approaching, Katelyn will need proper introductions when new people come into the home. Giving her a chance to see and greet visitors calmly helps her feel safe and comfortable. Once she knows someone, she's a sweet, loving companion who enjoys being part of the family. With a little understanding of her hearing impairment and a thoughtful introduction routine, Katelyn will thrive in a stable home that appreciates what a special girl she is. She will not do well in a city environment because the constant activity can be overwhelming and make her nervous, especially since she has difficulty hearing. Once Katelyn feels safe with her family, she is a happy, affectionate, and devoted companion. She's doing wonderfully in her foster home with children and has been welcoming to visitors who come into the house after she's had a chance to settle in and feel comfortable. Katelyn isn't looking for a perfect family—she's simply looking for her family. If your home includes a friendly, confident dog looking for a new best friend, and you're ready to offer patience, understanding, and a sense of security, Katelyn will reward you with unwavering love and loyalty. Apply today and give Katelyn the forever home she's been dreaming of! Your new pet will require a refresher in house-training. K-9 Lifesavers strongly recommends all new adopters enroll their new pet into obedience training. This provides for an easier transition into a new home, ensures the dog remains well socialized, and helps form a bond between the dog and the new family. Adoption fees cover basic vetting, spay/neuter surgery (at partner vet if not fixed before adoption), rabies, distemper/parvo vaccinations, treatment for worms, heartworm testing, monthly heartworm prevention and monthly flea/tick prevention (while the animal is in our care), and transport costs from high-kill shelter. Please note that on average, K-9 Lifesavers spend significantly more on each dog than their adoption fee. Adoption fee for HW positive dog also covers heartworm treatment at our partner vets. Foster Program: Foster homes provide for the temporary care of a rescue until the dog is placed into a loving, forever home.
