Story
APPLY DIRECTLY ON OUR WEBSITE, https://www.karmicrescue.org Sorri is a lovely girl who is well behaved, walks well on leash, would love to go running with you if you are into adventure. She's smart and responds really well and quickly to redirection. Sorri is very social with people, loves them and she can also be a bit timid when meeting new people. We know she does great with people and other dogs; we don't think a home with cats is a good idea. Sorri will do best in an active home, and if you like training, supplying appreciation, she will truly excel in your home.

Click Here to Sponsor Me!  Adoption APPLICATION: Muttsinneed.org/adoption-application   ** Application must be completed prior to a meet & greet.                                   Our Adoption Process:Muttsinneed.org/adoption-process    This is Athena. Athena is a little over 4 years old and almost like a fun-sized shepherd mix. She’s had a rough beginning as she was picked up as a stray in Mexico, along with her sister. They came to us extremely scared of everything and have come a long way since being with us. While her sister got adopted shortly after, Athena got left behind still looking for her forever family. She is one of our special girls who needs her forever family to be really patient with her as she learns to get comfortable with you. She is still very shy and we suggest a home with no kids and a female-only household. Athena would benefit best from having an outgoing, friendly dog in the house for her to follow (she used to look to her sister for direction). She loves playing with toys and walks well on a leash. If you are looking for a sweet girl who just needs some love and someone with patience, please fill out an application:https://www.muttsinneed.org/adoption-application.htmlMay 18, 2025, 9:22 pm

She loves playing with toys and snuggling with her foster parents and the other dogs in the home. If you’ll be patient with her she will show you how sweet & what a snuggle buddy she can be. Savannah beat death and survived distemper as a puppy, while it has a high mortality rate, she beat the odds and has been cleared by the vet and is expected to live a normal life span.  We would like to adopt her out to a home with another dog or someone who has time to keep her well socialized. She had a rough start to life, and we want the very best for her.

Meet Royal, a three-year-old Australian Kelpie mix weighing around 60 pounds of pure love. If you’re a fan of cuddles, affection, and sweet, gentle gestures, she’s the perfect match for you! Royal’s heart is as big as her loving spirit—she adores hugs and snuggles from everyone, whether you’re big or small. She’s active and playful when the moment calls for it, enjoying toys and zooming around the dog park. But her calm, easygoing nature makes her the ultimate snuggle buddy when it’s time to relax. Royal’s favorite pastime? Strolling around, meeting new people and pups, and spreading her warm, loving energy wherever she goes. She’s a true lover at heart, and she can’t wait to share all that love with you!
