Kind Kindred-Spirit KARMA

KARMA is a gorgeous long-haired German Shepherd looking for a loving family of her own. She’s got a heart of gold, gets along great with other dogs big and small, and kids.

Karma a fluffy and solid girl, about 75 lb. and highly intelligent…you’ll can see it in her eyes. This means she is a quick learner; you only have to tell her once or twice for her to learn something new.

It also means Karma can figure out how things work, like door handles and drawers - which she can then open and close so she still needs a close eye confident and firm but kind humans to continue training.

Karma’s a people-pleaser, just wants to know how to make you happy, and she LOVES a good walk on a leash; you’d think she was a professionally trained the way she stays at your heel!

When Karma’s excited she’ll chase you and give playful nips on your hand while she “talks to you” to let you know she’s having fun.

Karma and our pittie bonded easily; they spend hours playing tug of war. She’s housetrained and loves to be inside in the A/C. On a scale of 1-10, her energy level is a solid 5. She’s a chilled-out dog who will walk and play if you want to but is otherwise calm and content to lie by your side.

Karma was a stray when we found her and still has a touch of anxiety when she’s left alone. This manifests in not wanting to be alone in the house or left outside without her people and another dog. She does not like being in a crate so we allow her to roam the house.
We believe Karma’s perfect family will be one who works from home and preferably with another dog to show her the ropes. While Karma loves other dogs she’s too fixated on cats, we haven’t let he get too close but do not suggest a home that has any.

Karma will need time to adjust to and decompress in her new environment. She may pace and follow you from room to room. But as required by our adoption contract this decompression will pay off for Karma; in a few days with a good routine in place she will relax and know she is Home.

Karma is currently undergoing Heartworm treatment; all the costs are covered and since she’s only moderate energy level, being calm and cool indoors is easy for her during this treatment. As her fosters we are willing to hold her (once adopted) to complete the treatment but it would be good for Karma to spend that time in her forever home instead. She only needs the time to chill out because the appointment and injection for treatment are already taken care of.

If you love thick and fluffy, loving and loyal and affectionate GSDs than Karma may very well be the reason you found her listing If you think so too, please complete the application on our website below, then please

General Info - PLEASE READ! *Our $450 adoption fee is based on the cost of rescuing, transporting and vetting each dog; we do not try to compete on prices with municipal shelters whose funds are paid by the city. Our philosophy is to rescue highly adoptable dogs, have them live kennel-free in private homes for temperament assessments and individual personalities.

We work hard to match EACH dog with the right family - kids or no kids, other dogs male or female and/or cats. With very rare exceptions all dogs over 6 months will be spayed or neutered PRIOR to adoption - dogs under 6 months will include a spay/neuter date AND referral info for lower-cost surgery if the adopter does not choose to use her or his personal vet. OUR VETS WILL NOT PERFORM SPAY NEUTER SURGERIES UNTIL DOG IS 6 MONTHS OLD.



 

Please READ ALL of our info below BEFORE SENDING APPLICATION.

Our goal is to help our puppies and dogs find FOREVER HOMES AND FAMILIES, NOT TO MAKE IT PROHIBITIVE FOR YOU TO ADOPT. However, once we review the application and contact you, we MEET TO ADOPT, so please let us know if you are ONLY APPLYING TO STAY ON FILE or THAT YOU ARE READY TO ADOPT, for the consideration of our puppies and dogs and families who know the time is right!

COVID-19 UPDATE: Due to the prohibitive nature of COVID-19 we are conducting ALL home checks via virtual appointments. We are also NOT allowing meet & greet appointments with puppies or dogs who are not completely up to date on vaccinations due to risk or exposure to outside contaminants. We REQUIRE ALL adopters to wear a mask & gloves when picking up their pet, to insure that everyone is protected from unknowing exposure to COVID-19.

THERE WILL BE ZERO ACCEPT IONS MADE.

Go meet their pets

We do not have a shelter - we accept online applications and either have individuals meet at foster homes or we will bring dogs to a safe, fenced neutral area - depends on situation.

More about this rescue

I am the Executive Director - I started DASH with a select group of co-rescuing friends and neighbors because we saw a need to rescue very adoptable dogs from Death Rows at municipal shelters and believe through foster care we can work with and train these dogs to be ideal family pets.
