Katniss is a real gem of a dog. She greets you in the morning with a big smile looking for cuddles. When you return home, she brings her toy to the door to meet you - instantly putting you in a great mood. Kind and trusting, Katniss loves people and follows them everywhere. She LIVES for pets. This short and stout black beauty is a very happy-go-lucky girl who enjoys the company of other dogs. She likes to play but isn't aggressive about it at all and takes social cues well. Kitty Kat as we affectionately call her likes going on walks with her dog foster sisters and drinking all the water afterwards. She is left alone in the house for multiple hours a day free roaming and is an excellent guest. Katniss likes to play with toys and will even throw them up in the air for herself to catch. She's not destructive with her toys either. She's met a few children and was very well-behaved - I think she'd be a great dog for a family. She wins over all our house guests with her sweet disposition. This middle-aged love-bug came to BARCS from a high-kill shelter in California where she was surrendered by her owner for an unknown reason. Katniss is also a little chonky - she's currently working to shed a few more pounds so she's ready to show off her best bod for Santa and land herself in a loving forever home ahead of the holidays. Come meet her, you won't regret it!
