It's honestly a crap shoot. If she wants a small breed tell her to stay away from Jack Russell terriers, any kind of terrier because they do have a high prey drive and will kil her cat even if they are pups. I would have her look into maybe a poodle or a pug or something like that. But that doesn't mean they won't hurt the cats in the future.

Most shelters don't test pups with cats, mine didn't it depends how old they are really and they can't say oh he/she will be with cats especially if they are young there is NO way of knowing. Why doesn't she adopt one that has been in a foster home? Then they should know but if they are young like 8 weeks there is no way of knowing how they will be when they mature. How old was she looking for in the age range?

Dixie is a schnauzer/terrier mix and our family adopted her at 9 weeks in December. She is almost 11 months now and great with the cats. She chases them but I get on her about it. I have 3 cats mind you and she is great with them.

I'm glad she is adopting and make sure the pup and cat are NEVER alone together.
