My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Beautiful Kara is the perfect hiking companion! She is always excited to get out of the shelter, but after a few minutes outside, she is calm and relaxed on leash. She understands and follows voice commands and while on the trail, waits politely for people and dogs to pass. In the car on the way to the park, she pulled to the end of her "seatbelt" so she could ride with her chin on my shoulder. On the way back, she sat quietly and looked out the window at the world she hadn't seen for almost a year.

Kara loves to play! Back at the house, she worked out the zoomies in my large yard. We played "Chuck- It" with a tennis ball, giving her more opportunity to run, until she raced back to me, and without slowing down, flew past me dropping the ball at my feet and taking the Chuck-It with her. Then it became a game of "keep-away".

At 5 years old, Kara may be mature, but she is still silly, athletic, and adventurous. She is quiet, and can be reserved when she first meets people, but once she feels comfortable, she enjoys their company and just being petted. We walked the trails at Henderson Park and she acted like we walked there together every day.

Kara prefers to be the only dog and would be an amazing addition to a family with older kids. She is affectionate, but she is not needy. You may be gifted with a lean when you pet her, or if you're lucky, a sweet kiss on the face!
