Please meet Katrina. She is a 100% pit bull terrier, very friendly, probabIy a year and a half old, possibly a (former) breeder.  This dog is obsessed with squirrels, rabbits, chipmunks and varmits of all stripes. She likes to go on long walks around Watkinsville, and does reasonably well with other dogs one on one.  Dogs lives matter. She had been adopted by a student who had to transfer across the country, and she had to surrender the dog back to Oconee County Animal Shelter.  Thanks to social media, I was able to help save her life.
