Karma

My story

*Long stay - 6+ months. Adoption fee partially sponsored! Kid friendly: YesDog friendly: Occasionally selectiveCat friendly: UnknownEnergy level: Medium Leash skills: Needs some work!Keeps a clean kennel: Yes!We don’t know a lot about Karma’s life before she joined the FFAA family. This is because her first owners abandoned her when they moved out of their home and left her and another dog behind. As we’ve gotten to know her, however, it’s clear that Karma is a dog who is full of love and loves life. Although not always hyper, she eagerly spends bursts of excitement outside with her doggy friends. Her best friend Boaz has to work hard to keep up with her speed and precision as they wrestle and chase toys together. Karma loves to play with her human friends too! Her play style is best described as imitative of a kangaroo as she pounces and boxes with spread-toed front feet between bouts of gentle play mouthing and sprinting after tossed toys. You know you’ve won her over when she finally stops, drops, and rolls around, front feet still slapping around in the air, showing off her cute pink stomach. Karma is a first class and enthusiastic player, but please don’t underestimate the quality of cuddle time you’ll get. She’s just fine laying on the couch by herself, but she really comes alive when you take a few minutes to join her. Stretch out your legs and she’ll slide in beside them and rest her head on your body. As she drifts off to sleep, it’s almost impossible not to join her! She loves to be a part of whatever you’re doing, often forgoing toys or treats in order to plop herself quietly in the middle of it and patiently request some headpats. Karma's leash skills are improving slowly, but her biggest hurdle is excitement - she forgets all her newly attained skills when something grabs her interest, and she heads full tilt towards it. She's a muscly gal, so whoever is on the other end of her leash is in for a workout! We don't know if she was house or crate trained, but she keeps a potty-free kennel.Karma’s story broke our hearts. It’s difficult to understand why anyone would abandon their pet, but especially when a dog is as loyal and loving and full of lighthearted quirks and personality as Karma is, it’s incomprehensible. She’s been at FFAA for over 5 months now with very little interest. She deserves a forever home where she will never be abandoned again. If she sounds like she might be a good fit for you, please contact the shelter through our email adopt.ffaa@gmail.com or give us a call at (417) 592-2512, or fill out an application on our website! https://www.ffaaneosho.org/Shelter hours: Closed Monday-Tuesday.
