Story
* 4 Little Paws is helping a Texas Animal Shelter by featuring a few wonderful dogs patiently waiting to find forever homes!
Meet Katrina! She is still waiting for her furever family to scoop her up, and we honestly can’t understand why. She’s been with us for four and a half months and has stolen every heart she’s met. There truly aren’t enough words to describe just how special she is and capture the depth of her sweetness!
With her glowing golden eyes and radiant smile, Katrina has a way of looking right into your soul. She’s a warm, gentle spirit who seems to carry endless love in her heart, and all she wants in return is a family to call her own.
Cuddles are Katrina’s love language. She adores being close to people and will gladly lean her whole body into you, settle in your lap, or rest her head against your chest just to soak up your presence. She melts under chest rubs and lights up when you whisper sweet words to her. Tell her she’s a good girl, and you’ll be rewarded with the softest and most thankful kisses.
She has the calm wisdom of a dog who’s been through life’s harder chapters and is ready to embrace peace, love, and soft places to nap. She’s well past the puppy phase, wonderfully well-mannered, and fully potty trained! When she needs to go out, she’ll let you know with a confident little bark. In her kennel, she keeps her space neat and cozy, always treating her bedding and toys with care.
Katrina walks beautifully on a leash, and she’s always up for a neighborhood stroll or a little outdoor adventure. She’s also a dream in the car! She hops in with ease and rides like a pro, making her the ideal travel buddy.
Around other dogs, Katrina enjoys a bit of playful roughhousing or a game of chase. Her playful bursts come in short and happy waves, then she’s ready to just trot around or hang back and observe. She is always friendly with a balanced energy, which is why she’s one of our go-to dogs for testing new arrivals. Her steady and reliable temperament helps nervous newcomers feel at ease!
And then, there’s her mealtime routine. Katrina’s laziness makes us laugh every single day. She’ll lie down to eat, take a few bites, then gently tip her bowl over so the food spills onto the floor. Why? Because, obviously, that’s the best way to dine when you’re a delightfully peculiar little lady. It’s just one of her many charming quirks that makes everyone fall head over heels for her.
It’s clear Katrina has had several litters in the past, but those days are long behind her. Now spayed and healthy, she deserves a life of comfort, joy, and being loved simply for who she is and not for the puppies she once raised.
Katrina is a four-year-old German Shepherd mix who weighs 56 pounds. She’s spayed, microchipped, heartworm negative, fully vaccinated, and on monthly preventatives.
