Ms Katie is ready for her forever home.  Loyal, loving and obedient.   She knows place, sit, let's go, and here.   She is crate trained and leash trained as well.   Katie has fabulous recall and will return immediately.  Katie is the smartest working girl ever.  Katie runs with the pack (or more accurately, runs the pack) she is definitely an alpha personality.  She is German Shepherd and Cattle Dog.  Two working breeds that need a job and a lot of stimulus.   She goes non stop and keeps everyone on their toes.  She will be a great running companion.   She is a talker and has a lot to say. Smart!   She figured out the doggie door weeks before I would have approved, but there is no stopping her when she sets her mind to learning something. She sits for treats. Not because she was trained to, but because she watched the pack and learned. She is an exceptional dog. She requires an active home.  Because of her intelligence, she will become bored and then destructive which will not make anyone happy.  Katie is a pleaser and learns very quickly. Her perfect home will be older children, an active family and definitely a yard. Katie will do best with a companion dog in the family.  She is not an apartment  or mobil home appropriate.     If you  can provide Katie with the stimulous and love that she will require, she will be an awesome dog.   aarfhouston.org/forms ========================================================= Please contact  app@aarfhouston.org for more information about this dog.
