Katie is a large (84 lbs) gold female with AKC papers. She was surrendered by her owners who were moving and could not keep her any longer. Katie is adjusting to her new surroundings quite well. She is housebroken, knows basic commands, walks well on the leash, and rides well in the car.

Amazingly she does not show the normal puppy problems-counter surfing, getting on furniture or chewing and is well mannered at mealtime with no begging. She is a bit timid when introduced to new situations-getting into the car and getting on the scale at the vet's office to name a few. We are working on crate training but at this point no amount of coaxing gets her to go in. (She had the run of the house with her former owners.) Katie loves to go for walks, getting bathed and getting brushed and any and all affection you might care to give her. She enjoys chasing tennis balls or any other toy you might toss. Exercise and a more controlled diet will help her to shed some of her excess weight (she is a large female but does need to shed a few pounds)

After just a few days with Katie she seems to be a sweet dog without any major behavioral issues and most deserving of a forever home where she will receive all the love and affection she deserves.
