Hi, I'm Katie

Katie is a 14 yr old shih tzu mix that was rescued from the PG County animal shelter on
09/08/25. Sadly, her previous owner had taken her there for euthanasia but thankfully the shelter
sent out a rescue plea instead.

She is very low-maintenance – pretty much the only time you hear her is when it’s time for
breakfast or dinner and even then, it’s just a low grumbling sound to let you know you aren’t
moving fast enough! She’s like Mikey – she eats everything!! (If you know, you know..lol)

Due to her limited vision, she will do best in a home with not many or no steps (unless they can
be blocked off) and no young children as she is easily startled. She currently lives in a home
with four small dogs and gets along with all of them but she will be fine as an only dog. As an
older lady, she will probably do best with a family that is home most of the time to let her out for
potty breaks. She will also require regular grooming.

Katie will lay in your lap while you work or curl up next to you while you watch TV. She is
such a sweet girl that will make you smile just from looking at her adorable little face and
watching her tail wag when you say her name. Her appreciation for being given this second
chance is coming through in her personality more and more each day. Come meet her, you will love her immediately!
