Notes: Kitty is a 4 year old, 75 pound, Bully mix who was picked up in the county as a stray at the end of August last year. She struggled to adjust to shelter life and was fostered for 2.5 months once her heartworm treatment was underway in December. Kitty’s decompression took a few weeks, but she settled into home life beautifully with slow introductions to family and close friends. She enjoyed snuggling in bed and long walks in the country. Kitty is housetrained, but we learned that she needs the security of a crate when left alone in the home. She was content sleeping in her crate at night, although she occasionally slept in the bed and liked to snuggle in between her people. She was left for up to 6 hours in the crate while in foster. Her prey drive for small critters includes cats, squirrels, and skinks but she is easily redirected with a name call and a few tasty treats. It does, however, mean that she should be on leash when not in a fenced yard as she continues with her training. Kitty loves playing with toys and romping in a yard. She is highly selective about the people and dogs she wants to be social with. We recently learned she loves car rides and experiencing new places.
