Story
Hi, everyone! 👋 My name is Karma! I am a spayed female Belgian Malinois/ German Shepherd mix, and I will be two years old this May. I am up to date on all my shots. I am great with other dogs, just not cats. I do well at daycare and always get good reports! I am house and crate trained. My favorite activity is playing fetch outside! 🎾 I also LOVE snuggling up on the couch with my human. I am very loyal and a good listener. I love being active and going outside! I am very smart and ready to learn any commands you can teach me! I am being rehomed due to no fault of my own. If you’re interested in knowing more, please fill out an application! I can’t wait to meet you! 🐾 ❤️
