Kata

Meet Kata! In February , Kata entered Riverside Shelter as a stray.

She was microchipped which is how we learned her name is Kata, but her former family never claimed her.

So, we scooped her up to become a Frosted Face.

Kata was adopted soon after, and sadly, she was recently returned due to her mom becoming ill and no longer able to care for her.

Kata is about 11 years old and weighs 81 lbs.

She is sweet, gentle, and does well with other dogs.

Kata loves pets and hugs! Kata enjoys going on our weekly Sunday hikes and earns rave reviews from volunteers for being a wonderful walking companion.

She has good stamina and is able to hike three miles.

Kata walks nicely alongside a Frosted friend.

Kata also knows how to sit and takes treats gently.

She is such a good girl! Volunteers took Kata on a solo outing to give her extra attention and time away from FFF.

Afterwards, they shared: "We took this beautiful girl for a walk at Ramona Grasslands.

She has great mobility and definitely acts younger than her years.

She hopped right up into our car and was a calm quiet passenger.

Kata was ready to walk when we arrived at the trail and kept a steady pace the whole time.

She was happy to stop and meet people of all ages and was very sweet with the children we met.

She wanted to make friends with dogs we passed, too.

We really enjoyed spending time with Kata." Kata is currently on a two-week Frosted Fling while she waits for her forever home.

Her Fling Mom report "Beautiful Kata! She has been a joy to have in our home.

We love her so much and she so easily adapted to our routine and family.

Someone at some point definitely spent a good deal of time training her because she is so well-behaved.

She aims to please and just wants to be loved.

She will even wait at the front door the entire time we are gone.

She is such a good girl.
