This week’s featured pet is a sweet and calm Pit Bull named Katama.
Katama was adopted five years ago by the Weston family. She was about four years old when the family fostered her. They had never encountered such a mellow dog before! She was the perfect calm to a busy house with two young daughters at the time.
Katama is a wonderful ambassador for her breed, proving that not all Pit Bulls are aggressive and dangerous. In fact, Katama is very lazy! Her worst trait is bed hogging and snoring!
Katama lives with her big sisters Delaney and Finley, mom Emily and dad Jamie. Look out for Katama near the Scarsdale Village. She is often out running around near Popham Road with her mom.

LuckyMeet the Freitas family’s pups named Thor and Lucky! They are both one year old. The Freitas family moved to the states three years ago along with their beloved Golden Retriever Duke. During the pandemic, Duke, 9, was diagnosed with cancer and died in July 2020. The family was devastated. Their kids began asking for another dog, so eventually they decided it was time to get not one but two pups. Thor and Lucky arrived at the same time as “brothers” but are different breeds. Thor is a Siberian Husky, and Lucky is a Border Collie. We met Lucky and Thor on a walk. They are two of the most striking pair. They are beautiful and very friendly!

This week, we are featuring two beautiful rescue dogs.
Meet Nora Marino’s rescue, Diesel. He is part Shepherd and part Corgi. Diesel was rescued from a kill shelter in Ashtabula, Ohio in 2014 when he was about five years old. He has been the perfect pet, and Nora’s family loves Diesel to pieces. He was diagnosed with Cushing’s disease just over a year ago, but is doing okay. Nora says Diesel is the best dog ever!
Also meet Shelby, a rescue from SNARR (Special Needs Animal Rescue and Rehabilitation), a Westchester-based rescue. Shelby is an 8-year old Beagle/Foxhound mix who has a heart of gold and loves any and all humans and animals. She joined the Levine family when she was only 10 weeks old and lives with her sisters Rachel and Samantha, mom Renee and Dad Josh.
Look out for Diesel and Shelby on the streets of Scarsdale!

From left to right: Avery, Sydney and Ziggy.This week’s Pet of the Week features three of the Berke family menagerie!
Avery is Scarsdale’s first featured cat. She rules the roost and keeps all the dogs in line, all while sleeping about 20 hours a day! She loves to put her paws around your neck and nuzzle your ears.
Sydney is a mini Merle Blue Australian Shepherd. She came from a puppy mill where she likely had many puppies. She loves people more than dogs, although she recently has taken a liking to a young Pomeranian named Max in their neighborhood. Sydney loves to walk and hike and follows her family around the house. If you make a funny face at her, she makes one right back at you!
Ziggy is a super mutt pandemic puppy, adopted by son Glenn in December 2020. Ziggy is the mayor of the dog park! She loves to engage other dogs and run with them. Even though she loves activity, she gets a little scared every time she hears a loud noise. They’re hoping she outgrows this!

This column will be managed by Katy Goldman and Dara Gruenberg. We didn’t start out as dog people…that was Covid’s doing. Like many of you, we became dog lovers during the pandemic and we couldn’t be more grateful. We have found that our furry friends have infused our homes with so much love and provide some much needed therapy during this stressful time.
Katy is the proud mom of a Mini Sheepadoodle named Mitzi. Mitzi is seven months old, has endless energy and has recently become quite mischievous! It’s hard to get upset with her since she looks so cute.
Dara’s first pandemic puppy is a red haired Cavapoo named Loki. Now 17 months later, Dara has found herself the proud mama of three Cavapoos, rounding out the family with Ghost and Hobbs! All three boys love to play with each other and often find themselves sleeping snuggled up to one another on the couch.
If you see us on the street walking our pups, feel free to say hi! Our dogs love to make new friends.
Send us your pictures and a bit of information about your sweet pets. We will feature at least one a week. Email us at petsofdale@gmail.com.
