By Leroy and Katie Fay

A very merry Woof Wednesday to all my pooch and people pals! Adopt-A-Dog Month is finally winding down, so I’d like you all to meet the last dog I get to introduce – the very well-behaved Katie Fay! (Or as I like to call her, Miss Manners.) She’s a 3-year-old pit bull mix who’s i Love Dogs’ 28th featured pooch in its campaign to find furever homes for 31 dogs during October.

Now, I’m not exactly a polite pooch. You might even say I’m a little rude sometimes. But sweet ‘n’ mellow Katie Fay here has shown me how to be a good dog.

Did you know there are lots of advantages to sitting and waiting for an invitation instead of just grabbing food out of your peoples’ hands? For one thing, they don’t yell at you, and for another thing, you might even get a bigger treat, just for being polite! Wow. KF has opened up a whole new world for me. I think she’d work wonders for you, too.

Anyhoo, I’m going to sit here and wait while Katie Fay tells you her story.

KATIE FAY

Thank you, Leroy. You’re becoming quite the gentledog!

Honestly, I don’t remember much about my life before Karma Rescue found me. Or perhaps I just don’t care to remember much about it. I was living in a house with 200 other dogs, and let’s just say it was a struggle to survive.

But that all changed when I was brought to my wonderful new foster home. My foster mom, brother and sister are amazing. I love them to pieces!

They have worked with me so much and taught me all kinds of skills. I’ve learned so many useful things – like how to use a doggie door, run alongside a bicycle, walk on a leash, ride quietly in a car, and sleep through the night in my crate.

I’m also learning basic commands like “sit” and “come” – plus I’m learning the American Sign Language signs for them! My foster family tells me that’s a very special skill for a pup to have. But I certainly don’t mean to brag or to bore you, so I’ll stop there.

I do hope you’ll consider adopting me. It doesn’t matter if you have a big family or it’s just you – I know we’ll be very happy together.

…And if you give me this sign (which means “I love you”), I’ll show you I love you right back by giving you lots and lots of kisses!

Aww, Katie Fay, if I had fingers I’d be making that sign right now!

So how about it, humans and hounds? Wouldn’t Katie Fay make a great addition to your family? To adopt her, please contact Karma Rescue or give them a call at 310-512-RUFF (7833). If you mention my pawl TJ or i Love Dogs, you’ll get a FREE puppy starter kit!
