cathy

We've reduced Cathy's adoption fee through the month of November, hoping it will be that final little "sign" her forever family has been looking for!

Cathy is a special girl. She's 2 years old, a beautiful shade of red mahogany, and a mix of Labrador Retriever and perhaps even a little Vizsla. She's currently a bit underweight at 41 pounds, but we are working on slowly increasing her weight.

Coming from a hoarding situation up north, Cathy was introduced to an entirely new world when she arrived at HSOC. Other dogs, lots of people, sunshine, food, toys, warm baths, and cozy beds... As wonderful as those things sound, it's a LOT for a dog who has spent her life trapped in filth and isolation.

Cathy is learning about the world one step at a time in foster care. Thank you, Angela! She's doing so much better than she was at the shelter, and we're so proud of the progress she's making.

Cathy would do best in a home with multiple other dogs or even cats. Amid all the scariness in her world, she finds comfort and peace in a backyard alongside other canine companions. Due to her athleticism and the flight risk that can come with being a fearful dog, Cathy WILL need a securely fenced yard.

Please understand that we do NOT require fencing for all adopters. Cathy is a special case, and this requirement is simply in place to keep her safe.

If you're looking for a dog who just needs you, please step forward for Cathy. She's not asking for field trips, parties, or anything particularly special. She just needs a safe place to land, a little patience, and lots of TLC.

The first step toward adopting Cathy is submitting an adoption application through our website! We're always happy to answer questions, but please remember that Facebook messages and phone inquiries are not considered part of the adoption process. An application is the way to get the ball rolling! 🐾
