My name is Karma!

Karma is 1.5 years old, 17 lbs., and a Chihuahuas mix. 

Karma came to as a very scared dog. She is learning what it is like to be part of a family that loves her and will keep her safe. For Karma all new experiences are scary. She is decompressing but is still a timid dog. She gains more confidence every day, and in time we think she won't be afraid of car rides, and that she will make a good walking companion. We are starting to see her goofy personality, she is great on a leash, she is working on basic commands, her potty training is going very well, she is starting to show an interest in toys, and likes chew sticks or a Kong. Karma enjoys food and works for treats but will shy away if she believes you are unhappy with her. She is agile and can jump a baby gate. A six-foot fenced yard is preferred. Karma is also a very smart dog and seems to learn fast. Karma does like cuddling with people and other dogs.  She sleeps well in a crate or in the bed with her people. She has a laid-back temperament and does well with all dogs, although she has not been tested with dogs larger than her. and she is good with kids ten and over but, she has not been tested with large dogs or cats. She does get anxious in a crate when she is left alone, and she has managed to get out of the crate a few times. Karma does well in the house when left alone as long as all food on the counters has been put away. Karma has so much potential and would make a great addition to a family that understands her fears and insecurities and can help her become the best dog she can be.
