·       Bio:

Katydid (goes by Katie) has been a well-loved dog her entire life, but she found herself in a precarious situation when her owner suddenly needed to be moved to a senior living facility – where Katie couldn’t follow.  Speak! for the Unspoken was able to step in and make sure Katie could continue her life in a loving home.

Everyone who meets Katie is immediately charmed by her.  She is sweet, gentle, and quiet.  Her needs are small – someone who she can follow around the house, who is willing to pet her, who will tell her how wonderful she is multiple times a day.  Katie is an old soul and is in her retirement years, meaning she would like a quieter house and someone who is home with her as much as possible.  As a senior, she needs more trips outside during the day (she is happy to sleep by your bed for the whole night without disturbing you).  She loves going for walks but wants to take those nice and slow so she can soak up all the sights and smells.

She is being fostered in a home with kids and another dog, and while she gets along with everyone and settled in nicely, she definitely prefers a quiet routine.  Katie is in search of her perfect companion for the rest of her years.  If you are also searching for a quiet, loving, gentle companion – Katie could be right for you!
