Arrival Story:
I found Kate while browsing the internet pet adoptions in January. my special dog, an older Blue Heeler named Dakota, was getting older and I wanted to find a young dog before he passed away, so he could be a positive role model. I had orginaly wanted to adopt Kate's brother, Puffball, from Noah's Ark Animal Shelter in Gainesville..however, he had already been adopted by the time I got there. Kate and her 2 remaining brothers were at an adoption day that day. I drove home(2 hours) and called back later to see if they had been adopted or not. Kate and her Brothers had not..I made arrangements to go up on Monday and decide which one I'd like to adopt. My boss gave me a weird look when I asked for half a day off to drive out to gainesville to adopt a dog, but he gave it to me. :) It broke my heart to see so many dogs in the shelter..Kate and her 2 brothers were in the kennel as I approached..her 2 brothers started jumping up and down and getting very excited. I was set on a male dog, but Kate really caught me. she hung back from her brothers and would bark every now and then and seemed excited, but wasnt bouncy like her brothers. this caught my eye espc. I wish I could have adopted all three of them, but at the risk of having a divorce on my hands, I chose Kate. She rode home in the crate in the back of my car and about 15 minutes from home, got carsick. :( Kate is an extremly special dog. I really feel she is very grateful for me giving her a chance. I cant thank the Shelter enough for allowing me to adopt her and to my husband, who, against his better judgement allowed me to adopt her..and who did not get mad when I told him she'd chewed on his $60 running shoes. :)

Bio:
Kate has the prestige of being the world's first Painting Border Collie. In February of 2011, Kate created her first masterpiece. I taught Kate to paint using the clicker and positive reinforcement. She has her own Art Shop and website, The Painted Paw, where she sells her unique pieces with a portion of the proceeds going to needy animal groups! Kate also does demos and presentations for groups and organizations, she loves to meet new people!
