About Karen

Karen is a shy but hopeful young girl looking for a gentle and loving family to call her own. She was terrified in the shelter and shaking but is blossoming in a calm foster home. She is still slightly timid but warms up fast with adults. Once she knows you, she is very affectionate and likes being close to people. She is friendly towards her foster dog sibling and very curious about the world around her. Karen is not a barker (at all!), sleeps in her crate throughout the night and will take herself there during the day to rest also. She is easy to handle if taken slowly at first. She is potty trained if taken outside but will also use a pee pad. She's a lovely dog who will be a great companion to someone whose approach is gentle and builds her trust.

Ideal Home

Karen would thrive in a home with adults who understand she needs a gentle approach to build trust. Due to her timid nature, she is not recommended for homes with children.

Ongoing Health

Karen has no special medical requirements at this time.

Training & Support

Karen is potty trained if taken outside and will also use a pee pad. She sleeps well in her crate and uses it for rest during the day. Her adopters should be prepared to continue building her trust with a patient and gentle approach.
