Karma K-9 Rescue

I adopted my «monster» from this organization. I met them at Pet Palooza and I really liked the volunteers (particularly my pup’s foster mom). They were good with trying to help the dogs be better mannered through some obedience training while in foster and I really just like their over all attitude and commitment to the dogs. They didn’t try to feed you a sales pitch as to why you should adopt their dogs, but rather hung out and answered questions about each waiting for the right forever human to come along. They also addressed some of my pack leader confidence concerns with using certain obedience implements for my «exuberant walker» (read puller) (yeah, I use a prong collar, but it is rare that I have to pull on it nowadays, she learned very quickly how to walk more like a lady… but thank god I have it when I need it because she would pull me over. go ahead, judge me, this collar makes my relationship with my dog better than it would be without)
The application is on their website and while it is long, it asks all of the important questions. In addition to the application they do a home visit. Reece came home with me forever on the day of the home visit, which I was a little surprised at, but they warned me that if the home visit went well I could adopt her then and there. (I was prepared with a crate and bed and food and everything).
Almost every weekend several of the dogs are at adoption clinics across the region. Check out their facebook page to find out when and where.
I also had a client who was looking to adopt a dog who was good with cats, so I referred her to Karma K-​9 and they matched her with a dog. This match involved the dog having an overnight visit, which extended to a weekend visit, which ended up in adoption.
I don’t know if I could do what these kind souls do; I would be a sobbing mess every time one got adopted.
