Kate is a special girl. She has evidently had a bit of a rough life but it has not dampened her spirits. She is very people social- follows me everywhere and she likes other dogs. She was in a valley shelter and had some damage to one ear- we had it sutured up and it is healing nicely. She would be a wonderful comapnion for a person who is home a lot- or who wants to take a dog with them when they go out and about.
