Meet Katniss

This dog will be at Palo Alto Pet Food Express on Saturday, September 21st from 12-3pm or until adopted. If you would like the first opportunity to adopt, please fill out an application to be considered.   Adoption Fee: $700   Katniss is a 1 year old Cavalier King Charles Spaniel x Dachshund mix who is ready to win the competition for her future parent’s hearts! Katniss was rescued from District 12 (aka the local shelter) when her former home was no longer able to give her the time she deserved. We promised to find her a fabulous forever home and scooped her up, ready to start her fabulous life in the Victor’s Village! This gorgeous gal weighs 12 pounds and has a beautiful, glossy coat that makes her the envy of the neighborhood! If you are ready for your very own girl on fire, bring home Katniss Everdeen today!      "Katniss is a total sweetheart who is a dream dog to have in your life. She came to our rescue shy and shut down, but once she got comfortable she started showing us her amazing personality. She has been learning how to “dog” from her canine foster siblings and every day she discovers more of the world around her. She loves her walks and knows that the leash means it is time for a new adventure!" Katniss has become quite the cuddler as she has settled into her foster home and we know this gal just wants to be loved and show love in return. Katniss is a couch potato kind of gal though she does love her walks! She loves going on fun adventures with her foster siblings and is a fabulous member of a canine pack. Katniss is a sweet girl who needs a home where her people are ready to show her the love she has been missing. She has so much potential and we know she has a fantastic future ahead of her. This girl on fire can’t be stopped from showing us all how amazing she is!  Katniss starts her morning with a relaxing breakfast followed by a trip to the park near her foster home. She spends the late morning snoozing on her soft bed and playing with her toys. Lunchtime brings another potty break and a trip to the park for another potty break. She spends her afternoon in her dog teepee tent which she absolutely adores. In the evening, she embarks on her favorite part of the day, her evening walk. Once she returns home, she gets her dinner around 7:30 PM. In the evening, she gets a good brushing followed by a long cuddle session. Before she gets ready for bed, she gets one last trip out for potty. She now spends the night sleeping at the foot of the bed or in the middle of her people. She just loves being with her people and dreams of the adventures ahead of her!  Katniss lives with two smaller dogs and absolutely adores them. She gains confidence when she takes her cues from them. She coexists with the resident cat. She is unsure of humans she doesn’t know but she is working on expanding her social skills. Katniss walks well on a leash but does startle occasionally as she is still working on building her confidence. Katniss is going to be such a fabulous addition to her forever home and can’t wait to meet you!     Katniss is only an option for homes who currently own a dog or who have experience with shy dogs. No kids for Katniss, teens and up only.
