Arrival Story:
Kati was found running the streets of Citrus Heights, CA (near Sacramento) and ended up in Central California Labrador Retriever Rescue, which is where her dad found her. He saw her picture online and thought she was cute so went to Sacramento to meet her. It was basically love at first sight, even though she went off on him when they first met.
Bio:
Kati was very athletic. She loved to run and SWIM and chase her kong. She also loooooved exploring culverts--she almost got stuck in one once! She was abused as a pup and was afraid of lots of things--people in black, wearing hats, carrying sticks, wearing sunglasses. If she met any one of these terrible things on a walk she would go off on the person--barking like mad--but she never bit anyone and everyone thought she was really cute. Kati always loved kids and was OK with most women but had to be carefully introduced to new men. Once she got to know a person she was very sweet and loving.
By the time she was six or so she was finally getting over her fears--having lived the good life with her papa, her Sister Rosa, and her step mom. She dropped dead of a heart attack at the age of 7 on April 23, 2006. She was teaching her new brother Smokey how to swim and chase a kong in the water. We miss our sweet Kati.

Temperament Testing:
Kati is a dog that probably would not have passed most temperament tests given by shelters and rescue groups. She was fearful and could easily have become a fear biter. She was also very sweet. She deserved a second chance and she got it. Her dad worked really hard with her to help her be a good dog and to get her over her fears. She probably would not have made it without that hard work. Temperament testing has its place, many people are not willing to make that extra effort to help a dog get over their issues and there are so many dogs in need. But that is the point--there are way too many dogs without homes out there--temperament testing provides a method for declaring a dog "unadoptable." How many dogs are truly unadoptable, given the right home and a person dedicated to helping them? How many dogs have to die before people quit breeding irresponsibly?
