About this Dog
LOCATION: Terrell, TXDOB: 03/26/2024Meet Katie, a one-year-old fawn Great Dane with a delicate heart, puppy energy, and a personality as unique as her dainty “micro” frame. Weighing in at just 63 pounds due to poor early nutrition, Katie may be smaller than your typical Dane, but her spirit is just as big. Once she trusts you, she transforms into the ultimate cuddle bug—affectionate, goofy, and eager to be close.Katie’s world is still a little scary. After coming from the shelter, she’s learning that life can be kind, but she needs slow, patient introductions, especially with men. She doesn’t show aggression—no barking, growling, or snapping—but she will try to flee when overwhelmed. Because of this, Katie is muzzle trained and will need continued support building her confidence through consistent exposure and training.She absolutely thrives with other dogs and is very much a "dog’s dog." Katie shines when she has a playful companion to romp with, chase in the yard, and tug on ropes with. She’s currently living with four other Great Danes and does beautifully with all of them. A home with at least one playful, confident dog will help Katie continue learning how to be a dog and burn off that boundless puppy energy.String cheese is her currency of choice—though she won’t turn her nose up at most treats—and she responds well to gentle correction. She’s kennel trained, walks nicely on leash, and rides well in the car. House training is still in progress, and she’ll need frequent walks or mental stimulation to help keep her out of mischief.Katie is a prissy little thing, prancing when she runs and always perching her butt just off the ground when she sits—it’s adorable. While she hasn’t been cat-tested, she does seem to have a strong prey drive. She also hasn’t spent time around children, so older, dog-savvy kids who respect her space would be the best fit, if kids are in the picture at all.The perfect home for Katie is quiet and stable, with one or more playful dogs, no young children, and a large fenced yard where she can run and explore at her own pace. She needs someone with patience and a gentle approach, who understands that trust takes time—but once you earn it, Katie will give you her whole heart. She may be fearful now, but with the right support, Katie is ready to blossom into the happy, loving companion she was always meant to be.========================= To apply to adopt me, please fill out the application form! https://form.jotform.com/51994996709176 .Note: SRGDRR adopts nationwide and offers transport options to help you find your perfect match!

Adopt Katie and Receive Katie's Fund
Adopting a pet can be expensive, and we're trying to help by fundraising for each individual in need of adoption. After verifying the adoption, Katie's new family will receive the funds that their pet has raised.
$0.0 is Katie's current balance
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. If you adopted the Katie, thank you for providing a home and a loving family!
Please begin the process of claiming Katie's contribution here.
For adoptions in which nokillnetwork.org was the matchmaker and we have contact information for both parties, we make every effort to contact the adopting family. For adoptions that were not facilitated by nokillnetwork.org, we still encourage the adopting family to claim the contribution by submitting the necessary information.
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. The adopting family will be required to provide proof of adoption between 4-6 weeks after adoption. This is to ensure that the home is a good match and Katie was not returned. After we have verified the adoption, Katie’s balance will be sent to the adopting family. Our staff provides instructions and help throughout this process.
We want the Katie’s balance to go to the adopting family as a way to say thank you for providing a loving home and to help with pet care expenses. In the unfortunate event we cannot contact them and verify the adoption, Katie’s balance will remain in our general fund. This fund may be used to match contributions made to other adoptable pets, incentify other adoption-related actions, promote our mission, or support the operating expenses of nokillnetwork.org. If you would like to make a direct contribution to nokillnetwork.org to help us help other pets in need, you can go here. We appreciate your generosity and help!
