And so, after more than 10 months of patient waiting in our shelter, our Catahoula Katie was adopted today. Katie has been difficult to place because Catahoulas are unique dogs that
require a devoted caretaker to understand their need for exercise and training to become successful family members. Katie is a beautiful athletic dog who loved our swimming pool and used it daily to work out. Although Katie was a bit to handle on a walk because she was always looking for wildlife to chase she was also one of our best mannered dogs at adoption events. She loved to lay out on one of our beds and watch all the people and dogs coming and going in front of the stores we would visit. My partner Tom spent endless hours working with Katie teaching her commands and giving her confident love. Veronica worked on photographing Katie and Carol worked on marketing Katie to the public. All of our volunteers took turns spending time with Katie, and our shelter owner Augusta gave us constant training tips and provided Katie with a safe environment until she was able to finally find her forever home, and that happened today.
We thank the new caregiver for taking Katie into her world and we are confident this is a really good match. While we want to get all our dogs adopted, our number one goal is to make sure our dogs are going to good loving homes and I feel we accomplished this today.
On a personal note I want to say that I don't wear my religious beliefs in a church, I do my talking to God while walking these beautiful animals that He has put under our care. Thank you God for being with us and making this day possible.
