Meet Katniss
Katniss on Wheels is still wishing for her forever home!!!

Katniss is our amazing warrior girl! She is a little over a year old and has already conquered so many challenges in her life. She was born with a spinal defect that left her with no function in her back legs and limited control of her bladder and bowels. Katniss recently had both her back legs amputated as well as her tail to help decrease injury and improve mobility. The decision to amputate was a tough one, but after speaking with our veterinarians, we decided it was the best thing for Katniss.

Despite all the hurdles she has overcome, Katniss is healthy and loving life to the max! Even as a puppy, Katniss has never let anything slow her down! She is a master scooter, wheelchair champ, and absolute firecracker! She is the happiest dog you will ever meet and she always has a smile or kiss for anyone. Katniss is good with all people and other dogs! She is a true ray of sunshine.

Taking care of Katniss has its challenges but it is also so rewarding to see her living a happy full life. On a daily basis, Katniss spends time in her crate, free time out in a controlled space, and structured exercise in her wheelchair or drag bag. Katniss loves going on walks and seeing all her fans in our neighborhood.

Outside of her space or in her wheelchair, Katniss wears a diaper and does really well with this arrangement. She absolutely loves all the extra water she gets to drink during her Sunday bath time and will do anything for a special treat! Katniss knows to wait before eating or drinking and is learning other basic commands. She loves playing with toys and normally picks one special stuffy to be her favorite.

Katniss is an absolute joy and spreads sunshine everywhere she goes. This feisty amazing girl can not wait to find her forever home!

She is spayed, microchipped, up to date on vaccines, and Heartworm negative.
