Story
Meet Baz, our 91 lb 3 y/o German Shepherd mix. Baz is an amazing dog. He is affectionate and intelligent. He likes to train but doesn’t need a ton to tire him out. He’s a sensitive dog who responds well to structure, clear boundaries and praise. He does have some behavioral struggles. We spent thousands of dollars on a 2 month board and train last year, and have continued with private sessions with a new trainer in the last few months. His dog reactivity and overall obedience has improved drastically. But he did attack our other dog recently and has started growling at my wife, who is pregnant. For everyone’s safety and well being, we have to rehome Baz before the baby comes. It is not a good situation for us, or for him. We’ve spent a year investing time and resources into his training, hoping it would be enough, but he needs more. Baz is in tact and up to date on all vaccinations. He is fully e-collar and crate trained. He loves to play tug and knows a bunch of command

Henry is a sweet, affectionate 2-year-old male German shepherd mix with a heart as big as his love for playtime. Henry weighs 65 pounds of love and sweetness and adores his toys, especially his ball, which he could happily chase for hours. Henry is Timid around new people at first, but warms up with patience & kindness, revealing his gentle, loyal nature. He would do best as the only dog where he can soak up all the attention & return it tenfold with cuddles, play, & devoted companionship. Henry was rescued from a high-kill shelter on the day he was scheduled to be euthanized.  He has had training while with his foster family, and continues to gain confidence and will thrive once in a loving home, and is the only dog.  Henry is neutered, received his wellness exam, fecal test, and is current on his vaccinations.  He’s packed with his favorite toys and balls and is looking forward to fun adventures with his forever family.

Story
Arrow is a stunningly handsome 13 1/2-month-old male German Shepherd mix love bug that is super quiet in the house. Arrow is affectionate and super cuddly. He definitely needs to use his mind and exercise but can also spend the day hanging out quietly at the house after a good morning run if needed.  Arrow weighs approx 53 pounds of love & sweetness and is currently in a foster home with a female dog that he gets along with wonderfully. Arrow is crate trained and sleeps in his crate the whole night through. He loves everyone he meets and has been great with the children he’s met, who were over 8 years old. He hasn’t met very young children as of yet.  Arrow would be best suited with an active family that will continue taking him on long walks, hikes, or jogs. He has an amazing demeanor and is dog friendly when he is introduced to other dogs properly on a leash. Has been great with neighbor dogs off leash.  He’s truly a gem of a young g adult dog that would be a great addition to any shepherd loving family that loves the breed.  He’s neutered, fully vaccinated, received his comprehensive fecal test, wellness exam, deworming and microchip.  Arrow is looking forward to fun adventures with his loving forever family.  Adopt Handsome Arrow!!!

Story
APPLY DIRECTLY ON OUR WEBSITE: https://www.karmicrescue.org She's so shy all she wants to do is bundle up in your lap. She is devoted to her foster family, plays like a silly toddler with her sisters and another dog in the home. There are children in the home and she is in love with them! Clarita, of course, will really appreciate a patient person who has it in their mind that they want to be the giver in this relationship. What does this mean? Well, it means that Clarita will rely on you to be the teacher, create boundaries, and provide lots of opportunities to see the world, which helps shy dogs come out of their shell. If you are a loving and patient person, who also enjoys the outside world, Clarita is the one for you. She is available for adoption, however, we would also like to find her a new foster home wherein she has opportunities to be socialized more. Thank you for considering sweet Clarita.
