In the heart of our community, there’s a special pup waiting for her forever home. This week, we’re thrilled to introduce you to Karma—a delightful 50-pound mixed breed who embodies love, joy, and companionship. With her charming personality and impressive training, Karma is ready to become the perfect addition to a loving family.
A Sweetheart with a Purpose
Karma is not just any dog; she’s a product of the Danville-Boyle County Humane Society’s (DBCHS) innovative Mutts with Manners (MWM) program. Established in 2009, this program pairs shelter dogs with carefully screened prison inmates who provide one-on-one training and companionship. Co-sponsored by Northpoint Training Center in Burgin, KY, the MWM initiative has transformed the lives of countless dogs, helping them develop essential skills and socialization.
Karma has excelled in this program, proving herself to be an A+ student. Her training has equipped her with basic obedience skills and positive behaviors, making her a well-mannered companion. The dedication of the inmates, prison staff, and volunteers involved in MWM has played a crucial role in her development, and now she’s ready to share her love with a new family.
A Morning Routine to Melt Your Heart
Karma’s affectionate nature shines through in her morning routine. She loves to wake up and gently place her head on your chest, offering a warm “good morning hug.” This simple gesture encapsulates her desire for connection and love. Karma is not just a pet; she’s a companion who thrives on interaction and affection.
When she’s not cuddling, Karma enjoys playing with her toys and engaging with other dogs. Her playful spirit ensures that she can entertain herself, making her a great fit for families with busy schedules.
A Talented Show-Off
Karma is not just a pretty face; she’s also quite the performer! She has mastered all her basic commands, including sit, down, wait, leave it, come, heel, and stay. But that’s not all—Karma loves to roll over for belly rubs, showcasing her playful and loving personality. Her impressive training makes her a joy to be around, and her eagerness to please will undoubtedly win over the hearts of her future family.
Ready for a Forever Home
Karma is more than just a trained dog; she’s a loyal companion ready to bring endless love and joy to her new home. She is spayed, microchipped, and vaccinated, making her fully prepared for adoption. If you’re looking for a furry friend who will shower you with affection and companionship, Karma is the one for you.
