About Cato
Male | Approx 1.5 yrs |31 lbs | Ridgeback mix
Cato is a very affectionate and lovable boy. Loves to cuddle up with you. He loves people, so we expect he would be ok with children, but because he’s a high energy pup, we suggest older children that are comfortable with dogs.
Initially can be nervous meeting new dogs, but has been good with the foster's dogs. Would do well with another playmate a similar size. Can also be the only dog as he loves human attention.
Loves his squeaky toys as well as stuffies! He does well, but occasionally needs to be redirected from things not meant to be chewed.
Cato is still very much a puppy that needs adopters that will concentrate on his training and possibly take him to obedience classes.
Housetraining took some time, but we can say now, thanks to the foster's commitment, he has been accident free!
An active person or family would be best for this guy!
Adoption Fee | $500
Adoption fees help cover the costs associated with rescue, such as vetting, boarding, and transportation.
Prior to adoption, dogs are spayed/neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, and 4Dx tested, and they receive any necessary treatment.

Why We Love Fostering
-
I love fostering because it's a great feeling knowing that I am helping dogs find their forever homes. Knowing that they are coming from shelters where they may never be seen, and helping them get adjusted to a home in Canada is an amazing feeling. Since I travel a lot, fostering allows me to get my doggie cuddles and nature hikes without the stress of owning one.
Why We Love Fostering
-
From fluffy kitten cuddles, to endless purrs and kisses, fostering allows me to live a true “crazy cat lady’s” dream! Most importantly, it gives me the opportunity to have a positive impact on the lives of kittens/cats - some of which have come from very sad and difficult situations - and provide them with a safe and loving start before they go to their furever homes. While it is always challenging to say goodbye, I find comfort in knowing that there is a thorough application process to ensure the kittens/cats are adopted into the purr-fect home.
