Meet Katie
Looking for a sweet little companion to share quiet days and cozy evenings? Katie is a precious 10-year-old, 7-pound pup with a heart full of love. Katie is the perfect mix of gentle and affectionate. She enjoys exploring a fenced yard at her own pace, happily trotting around before settling in for a cuddle. While she has a mild patella issue, it doesn’t slow her down or seem to cause her any discomfort. She easily manages a flight of stairs and even knows how to use puppy steps to climb onto the couch or chair so she can be close to her people. This little lady is wonderfully well-mannered. She’s house-trained, not a barker, and will simply give a soft whine when she needs to go outside or when it’s time for dinner. She’s an excellent eater and gets along well with other small dogs who respect her space and don’t overwhelm her. Katie is ready to spend her golden years with a family who will cherish her gentle spirit. If you’re looking for a calm, loving best friend who asks for little more than kindness, a comfy spot to nap, and someone to love, Katie may be the perfect match for you. Adoption is $200 which includes her dental, spay, age-appropriate vaccines, microchip and current monthly prevention. To fill out an application for this animal or a general application click HERE.

Adopting Katie — FAQ
How do I adopt Katie?
Use the adoption link or contact details on this page to apply directly with Toby's Critter Cove Rescue in Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio. Lily's Second Chance lists Katie to help them get seen — the adoption is handled by that organization.
Is Katie still available for adoption?
Katie's listing is refreshed regularly, but availability can change quickly as dogs are adopted. Always confirm Katie is still available directly with Toby's Critter Cove Rescue before making plans.
Is Katie a senior dog?
Yes. Every dog listed on Lily's Second Chance, including Katie, is a senior — generally age 7 or older. Senior dogs are often already house-trained and calm, and they wait the longest for a home.
Can I foster Katie instead of adopting?
Some shelters and rescues offer a foster-to-adopt path — you foster first, then complete the adoption if the match feels right. Check Katie's profile for the organization's contact details and ask them directly whether a fostering option is available.
What should I expect in the first weeks after adopting Katie?
Senior dogs typically have a brief adjustment period of a few days to a couple of weeks as they settle into a new home. They may be quiet or shy at first, then relax once they feel safe. A calm routine, a comfortable place to sleep, and patience usually make the transition smooth. Most senior dogs settle in faster than puppies because they are already past the demanding early stage.
Is Katie good with children or other pets?
Compatibility depends on the individual dog's history and personality more than age or breed alone. Toby's Critter Cove Rescue can tell you about Katie's known behavior around children, cats, and other dogs. Many organizations offer a meet-and-greet before finalizing an adoption to make sure the match is right for everyone.
