About Karma

Start your journey together! Apply now. Karma arrived at her rescue in April 2023 after a compassionate person found her in critical need of help, abandoned in a crate at the roadside. Now healthy and thriving, she's one of the rescue's longest residents and eagerly awaits her forever match. This small but sturdy Staffordshire Bull Terrier is playful indoors and does best in a home with a yard. Karma's tail is always wagging, and she delights in her beloved toys—especially balls. Evenings are made for cuddling on the sofa, enjoying your company. While she’s happy and affectionate, Karma can be shy in new situations and prefers calm environments over busy households. She’ll need a patient, experienced owner who can offer positive encouragement and help her become comfortable with new routines. A quiet home with a yard and an owner with experience with shy dogs would be ideal. Having someone around much of the time, rather than being left alone all day, is perfect for Karma. She is crate trained, and she’s never had an accident in her foster home. She’ll sit politely for treats and is quite the pro at catching them. At bedtime, Karma loves sleeping quietly by your side if allowed. She also has some dietary needs and would thrive in a home familiar with or willing to learn about a raw-feeding diet. Karma is ready to find a dedicated companion who can nurture her progress and offer the loving home she deserves. Make their next chapter their best one yet.
