Kara

My story

All About Me Name: Kara Age: 3 years old Gender: Female Spayed: Yes Breed: Whippet Mix Color: Brindle Weight: 18 kg / 40 lbs Height (to shoulder): 53 cm   Hi, I’m Kara! With my long legs, graceful build, and beautiful brindle coat, I turn heads everywhere I go but it’s my heart that truly shines. I came from a illegal breeding facility, but that’s far behind me now. For over a year, I’ve been living in a lovely pet hotel where I’ve learned what it means to play, connect, and enjoy life in a safe and loving environment.   My Health I’m up to date on all five core vaccines, and I’ve even had antibody testing done. I’ve been spayed, had a dental cleaning, and taken X-rays to make sure everything’s in tip-top shape. I don’t have any allergies or ongoing conditions, and I’ve tested negative for heartworm (though a follow-up test is a good idea, just to be sure!).I do have a few tiny marks that tell stories from my past a small scar on my nose, a notch on one ear, and a little nick on the end of my tail but they don’t bother me one bit.   My Personality I’m a curious, affectionate, and social girl who loves people. I may take a few moments to warm up, but offer me a treat and I’ll gladly take it from your hand and soon enough, I’ll be leaning in for gentle pets and even rolling over to show my belly. I’m very comfortable being picked up and carried, especially if it helps me feel secure in new situations. I haven’t met young children yet, but I have no hesitation with adults I approach with an open heart and a wagging tail, ready to be your friend.   Social Skills - With People: I truly enjoy human company. Whether it’s a familiar face or someone new, I like to say hello and connect. Once I get to know you, I’m all about affection and companionship - With Other Dogs: I’ve spent a lot of time around other dogs at my daycare, and I get along well with most pups especially those around my size or a little bigger. I enjoy playing in groups, though I tend to form bonds with specific friends and stick close to them. Super high-energy dogs can be a bit much for me at first, but I know how to politely give space when needed. - With Cats: I haven’t met any cats, but I have shown interest in birds during walks. I’d likely try to chase them if given the chance.   On My Walks‍ I love being outside! I have a high energy level, so daily walks and outdoor play help me stay happy and balanced. I’m curious and love sniffing everything, so I may pause here and there to take it all in. I can get a little excited and pull on the leash at times, but I’m eager to learn and follow my person’s lead.   Life at Home I’m full of life and love, and I do best when I have ways to channel my energy whether that’s through walks, enrichment, or play. When I get excited or a little bored, I sometimes like to chew on soft things like blankets or even my clothes, so providing me with chew-safe toys and keeping an eye on my environment helps a lot! I don’t guard my meals or treats. I may bark a little if I’m trying to communicate something (like “Hey! Can we go out now?”), but I’m just expressing myself. I’m used to car rides, though I feel more comfortable if I’m being held or reassured during the ride. And when it comes to potty habits, I’m flexible I know how to go outside, but I’m also pad-trained if that’s what works best for you.   My Ideal Home   I’m looking for an active and loving home that can offer both companionship and adventure. I’d thrive with a person or family who enjoys being outdoors, who understands high-energy dogs like me, and who can offer a bit of structure alongside lots of affection. A few things that would make my perfect home: - A family who loves both playtime and cuddle time - A secure environment with soft spots to rest and safe toys to chew - Maybe a dog sibling around my size and energy level—but I’d be just as happy soaking up all the love as a solo pup   If you're ready for a loyal, affectionate, and playful companion who will be your best friend through every season, I’m right here waiting for you.   For More YouTube Clips, Click Here!
