My name is Karina - Local!

Karina is a young, loving Labrador Retriever mix. She is 1.5 years old and weighs approx 40 lbs, fully grown. 

Karina arrived to us on June 14th and is being fostered in the lower mainland. She was rescued in Guadalajara and stayed at a rescue shelter where she awaited adoption. Sadly, her size and colouring worked against her in the search for a family because black dogs are often overlooked in favour of lighter coloured dogs.

Despite her past struggles living on the streets of Mexico, Karina is a sweetheart through and through. She adores people. especially all the cuddles, hugs and treats she receives from humans. She gets along with adults, kids, and dogs of all sizes. She is fun-loving and playful, and enjoys running in the garden with doggie friends.

Karina is now with a foster family in Vancouver where she lives with many other dogs, big & small. Her foster mom describes her as an awesome dog with a heart of gold. Although shy and cautious initially, Karina is already settling in to her new surroundings. She has become "one of the pack" with the resident dogs and loves visits to the park where she runs and plays with her pals. Karina would be a perfect second or third dog for a family because she loves the company of fur siblings. 

Karina is more than ready for her FURever family. She's dreaming of a home to call her own, where she will be surrounded by love and affection for the rest of her life. If you're interested in adopting Karina, meet-and-greets can be arranged!
