Are you looking for an companion for runs or long walks? Someone with short, easy to groom hair? A big smile with beautiful white teeth?

Katie could be your new best friend. She is a sweet, young adult black Lab, who is quite affectionate.

She’d probably keep your yard clear of squirrels, and would probably keep your feet warm. (She likes to sit on feet!) Katie will make a great addition to just about any household.

Katie is spayed, microchipped, and vaccinated. She is at the El Dorado County Animal Services shelter in Meyers, along with many other dogs and cats who are waiting for their new homes.

Go online to see photos and description of all pets at the shelter.

Call (530) 573.7925 for directions, hours, and other information on adopting a pet.
