A special thank you goes out to Kato's sponsor: Steve Hitz in memory of Marah & Gretchen. KatoKato was a neutered, male, 2-3 year old sable German Shepherd Dog. He was a gorgeous, huge, well behaved, boy. This was a handsome hunk you'd be proud to walk down the street. Kato being a sizable dog, needed the muscle involved in holding and training a large German Shepherd. He knew many of his commands and was a generally fantastic dog. Kato had to go to a home willing to train, exercise, and care for the physical and mental needs of an intelligent and large male German Shepherd. Home requirements: cuddles, training, good food and lots of it, exercise, TLC, good vacuum, good brush, large couch.
