Katara's Story

PAWS Chicago said Katara, a 5-year-old, 66 pound, American Staffordshire Terrier mix who is an introvert and embraces the chill life. She’s aloof and slightly nervous with new people, uninterested in most other dogs and a total homebody. But she’s devoted to her person, and wants to hang at your feet while you work from home, or greet you at the end of the day and decompress next to you — or even in your lap.

Take the ComPETibility quiz here.

She loves to lay on the couch next to you, bone within reach, and chill. You might be Katara’s loving home if you have a quiet household and are looking for an easy-going buddy. Katara doesn’t need a yard, and her future home could be an apartment, condo, or walk-up, as well as a single-family home.
