Kit, a True Underdog!

When Kit came to the shelter, I wasn't sure that she would ever be adoptable. She was incredibly anxious, somewhat unpredictable (she never bit or attempted to bite, but her behavior was erratic in general.) Collectively, it was decided that she needed to be evaluated by a local dog trainer OUT of the shelter, to see if her issues were situational.

Once out of the shelter setting, Kit's behavior certainly improved. She was evaluated on many different criteria, and did very well. We started looking for a foster home in order to get her out of the shelter, as it was obvious that she would not be successful in the highly stressful shelter environment. This was definitely the best decision for Kit and her foster Dad has worked with her extensively on training to get her ready for a new home. I am posting her here because, even though being out of the shelter was absolutely the best thing to do for her, that means that she isn't IN the shelter for potential adopters to meet. I am hoping that someone out there will be interested in meeting sweet Kit, as her Foster family can only keep her for about 4 more weeks. PLEASE contact me if you have any interest in/questions about Kit!

Kit's Bio from her Foster Dad:

"Kit is a six year old German Shepherd mix who weighs 41 lbs. Kit is a super sweet girl - we don't know why she was abandoned - no information was provided. Kit is very smart, friendly with people, children and other dogs. She has been spayed and has a clean bill of health. Kit loves to play with people and other dogs. Kit would love a home with someone who likes to snuggle on the couch and in bed. Kit gets anxious away from her house and prefers to stay at home or in her own yard. She is housetrained and does not chew or destroy anything. Kit just needs lots of love, attention and patience. Kit is a very special dog who deserves a very special home.
Please help us find her a FOREVER home."
