Updated 6/16/22

Katty
Katty is a 2 year old cow dog and will be looking for just the right home! When we first learned about her last year, she was quite the spook. Since then, she has come a long way and has come out of her shell a lot. She is still a bit of a spook at times and we will assess this further when she makes it to Connecticut.

Zara
Zara is the mom to some recent WAG alumni– Bo (fka Gazoo), Gunther, Gus, and Gia– as well as new WAG hound Gloria!
