About Karl

Karl and his sister Stella arrived after they couldn’t curb their herding instincts around farm animals, but since then Karl has been doing well in day care. No one has tested him with small dogs or cats, so that's a bit of an open question. What’s clear is that Karl is affectionate and playful, and he’ll do just about anything for a tennis ball. He’s got the basics of obedience down and would really thrive with a family who brings him along for walks, runs, or hikes. Karl’s a big dog with a soft spot for kids—he’ll get along with children of all ages, though his enthusiasm could mean he jumps on little ones if left unchecked. He’s currently fostering in the Cedar Rapids area. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
