## Caption

Meet adoptable Kat, an 11 lb, 2 month old shepherd mix with a big personality packed into a very tiny body. Like the rest of his litter, Kat came to us after his mama was rescued from the shelter while heavily pregnant. Not long after, boom, eight puppies! Now these babies are growing up fast, and Kat is ready to find a forever home of his own.

Kat and his family were named after the New York Knicks and Liberty thanks to a generous donor. When canine Kat is not busy being a superstar basketball player, he is one of those puppies who keeps you on your toes in the best way. He is curious, rambunctious, and always ready to see what is going on, but he also loves snuggles, naps, and being held. He can be independent one minute, then happily curled up with his people the next.

He is also making great progress with his puppy basics. Kat is learning to use his pee pad, responds really well to treats and positive reinforcement, and has even started understanding “no,” which is very exciting for such a young pup. He is sweet with new people, calm when picked up, and has the kind of people-friendly personality that makes him easy to love. Don’t forget that he sometimes just mlems - his tongue sometimes likes to get some hang time outside too!
