Meet Kara, the beautifully resilient soul with a heart full of love! 💖 Though Kara has faced immense challenges in her past, she is a living testament to the power of compassion and healing. This lovely creature has a calm demeanor that can make any home feel like a peaceful retreat. You see, she gets along fabulously with cats 🐈, proving she knows how to share the spotlight with her feline friends! And let’s not forget, she’s the ultimate couch potato! 🛋️ If you’re looking for a cozy companion to cuddle with while binge-watching your favorite shows, Kara is the one for you. However, let's talk about her journey. At some point, Kara endured abuse that left her understandably timid. A simple raise of the hand may send her cowering, and unfamiliar objects can send her scurrying away. But don't worry! With patience and love, Kara is growing stronger and more confident every day. She’s a quick learner; just a gentle "Kara" in a soft voice is often enough to bring her around. One time, when asked to go outside, she responded with a massive retreat under the dining room table, all because she thought she felt a hint of reprimand! 🤭 It’s these small reminders of her past that tug at the heartstrings, but every day is a new opportunity for her to thrive! Three years ago, Kara found herself at the San Antonio Animal Shelter, a very high-kill facility, and was on the brink of being euthanized. But thankfully, she was rescued! Unfortunately, her journey didn’t end there; she lived confined in a dog run for three long years without any love or attention. When she first came to a caring environment, she had lost hope, barely raising her head or wagging her tail. But now? Now, she’s learning what it means to be a dog all over again, and it’s nothing short of heartwarming! 🌟 Kara's past has left her with some anxiety, making her a bit fearful in new situations or around unexpected movements. But with gentle assurances and encouragement, she blossoms beautifully! While she enjoys the company of other dogs, their unpredictability can sometimes unsettle her, although she's generally great with male dogs and perfect around cats. However, a home without young children is recommended for her, as their rapid movements might be too overwhelming for her sensitive heart. Wouldn’t it be wonderful to watch Kara realize her full potential in a loving forever home? 💞 If Kara seems like the perfect match for you, you can *apply through the Buddy App* today!
