Check out our sister brand, Kinship, for vet chat, a nutrition calculator, basic obedience training, and (much) more. So you're never flying solo in this pet parenting thing.
Even though Karma is a mix, the Great Dane in stands out prominently with this lady! She's SCARED OF EVERYTHING! Bug? AHH! Road noise? AHHH! Sudden movement? AHHHH! Karma is SO sweet, not a mean bone in her body, but really needs a confidence boost! She absolutely looks to her humans for security & safety. If she spots one of those terrifying flying fuzzies (a moth...) she'll practically leap into your arms as if to say, "HALP!" She likes to carry around a security stuffie, too. Once she gets to the dog park, however, she transforms into a sleek & sweet beauty queen, relishing the joy of running and stretching those long legs!
So far, Karma appears to be potty-trained! She seems to want to play with other pups and rarely barks. Given her personality, she might even do well with kitties! She might not know what to do with tiny humans yet, but harm them? Heck no! Like anything else about Karma, she just needs a calm and pro-active environment where she can ease up. Potential owners should be confident, gentle and patient, working with her to build up her confidence.

More about this shelter
Shenandoah Valley Animal Services Center is an open admissions animal shelter and is home to dozens of animals looking for their forever homes. We are a Municipal pound for Augusta County, Staunton, and Waynesboro so we take in all strays, abandoned animals, and owner surrenders. We have 40 dog runs and about 85 cat cages.
The Shenandoah Valley Animal Services Center began operation in September of 2011. Since opening, we have successfully lowered the euthanasia rates for our community! Our shelter's current save rate is 95 percent, which is the direct result of our dedicated staff and volunteers working hard to finding these animals their forever homes. Please call the shelter with any questions regarding animals found on the website for more information.
We offer help to our community through education and assistance. With the help of other organizations we are able to spay/neuter animals in our community that the owners could otherwise not afford. With the help of our community we are on a mission to save every adoptable animal in our area.
