Collie / Mixed (short coat) : : Female (spayed) : : Baby : : Medium
Age: 1 year
Weight: approx 50lbs
Location: RI
This dog has been spayed/neutered, is up to date on shots, on heartworm preventative and is microchipped. Karma is the sweetest girl! She absolutely LOVES to cuddle! She's good with other dogs and would love a fursibling to play with and show her the ropes. We're thinking she's a Collie mix born probably sometime near the beginning of June 2018. She and her two siblings were picked up and brought to the shelter of one of our Arkansas rescue partners by a kind citizen who couldn't afford to keep them. Karma had been hit by a car, but fortunately she had no broken bones, only multiple wounds that have healed nicely. Living in a shelter environment, she has not had any basic life skills training: house, crate or leash, but she's a smart cookie and eager to please so with lots of encouragement, praise and treats she should pick them up fairly quickly. Attending obedience classes with her new human(s) will be an important part of furthering her education, socialization and confidence building. She hasn't been introduced to kiddos or kitties yet. A fenced yard would be ideal but daily leash walks for exercise, business and adventure will work, too.
Gentle Karma can't wait to settle into her very own forever home! Can it be yours? Fill out an application today and her people will get right back to you!
Medical Note: This dog was treated for demodectic mange while in the SOS program. The dog has responded well to this treatment. Please note that demodex can flare up in any dog in times of stress (eg, transport, transition to a new home, change in food, etc). As such, the adopter is advised to discuss this condition and best next steps with their veterinarian. SOS recommends that dogs with a history of demodectic mange be kept on regular NexGard or Bravecto for flea/tick prevention for at least 3 months or until 18 months of age. Please see here for more information on demodectic mange: http://www.vcahospitals.com/main/pet-health-information/article/animal-health/mange-demodecticin-dogs/741. Please check with your vet if you should have any questions or concerns about this condition, and discuss any concerns you may have with your SOS Adoption Counselor.
