My story

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

Meet Chicken, a young, ~8-pound chihuahua mix! But don’t let his size or breed fool you. He’s friendly, energetic, playful, loving, and smart, all wrapped up in a tiny body.

He’s an outgoing little guy who loves going on walks and exploring the world. Chicken even comes with us to the pickleball courts, where he happily lays in his bed, getting lots of love and attention from all the players. At home, he’s always ready for a game of fetch or tug-of-war and will proudly bring you every toy he can find until you throw one.

When his playful, adventurous side winds down, Chicken is just as happy to cuddle up with you while you watch TV or read a book. He has excellent hearing and may give a brief bark at unfamiliar sounds, but he settles quickly once he realizes everything is okay.
We’re currently working on crate training, and he’s doing great with potty training. He’s good with other dogs, though he can be a little shy around bigger dogs at first, and he’s very curious but respectful about my resident cat.

Chicken is still a puppy, which means he’s learning and growing every day. He’s full of energy, can get easily excited, and will need continued guidance with training, routines, and manners. Accidents may still happen, and consistency will be key as he continues crate and potty training.

With patience, structure, and lots of love, Chicken will thrive and become an incredible lifelong companion

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

We have a quick but thorough adoption process. We ask you to fill out an application and we will touch base with you by phone. If we feel you are a good fit for the animal you would like to adopt based upon your application, we will want to do a home visit and have you meet the pet. If everything checks out, we will ask that you sign an adoption contract and pay a donation - usually $75 for cats and $150 for dogs. This includes all vetting, spay/neuter, vaccines, etc.

Our contract allows us to come visit you and your new family member after the adoption to make sure everything is going well and your new pet is happy & healthy.

Go meet their pets

We meet potential adopters by appointment only, typically in the foster's or potential adopter's home. Dogs can be arranged to be seen at a local park or a similar location.

More about this rescue

Good Karma Pet Rescue is a small network of foster homes in South Florida dedicated to providing dogs and cats in need with the love and help they need and deserve.

GK was started in 2011 by Stacey Chen, who decided that she could best provide for her foster animals by starting a rescue that aims for best care rather than high volume. We intend to stay as small as we need to be to ensure that every one of our foster animals is treated with the same care and respect we show our own furry family.

GK is based in Fort Lauderdale and is supported by wonderful, dedicated foster parents throughout the South Florida area. If you are interested in helping to save lives through volunteering, fostering, or adopting, please get in touch with us!
