Story
Karina is a 6 month old, 35lb Plott Hound/Bull Terrier mix who loves playing, cuddling, and anything water related! We pulled this sweet girl from the at risk list at our local high kill shelter after she was picked up as a stray by animal control. This cutie had been at the shelter for 20+ days with no sign of being rescued anytime soon, so we decided to bring her into our rescue!
While Karina's history prior to going to the shelter is unknown, we do know that she is one of the friendliest pups out there! Most dogs/puppies are terrified for the first little while after getting out of the shelter environment, but little miss Karina got right in the car and immediately started giving us kisses! She rides very well in the car and is very intrigued by the passing people and cars!
Karina is a very spunky, adventurous puppy and as previously mentioned, she is obsessed with anything water related! She doesn't have access to any lakes, rivers, or streams here so she makes due with the outside water bowl. She likes to dunk her whole face in the bowl, start digging until it's basically empty, then start all over again once us gullible humans refill it. Being the water-dog she is, we think Karina would love to go to a home with a pool or natural body of water nearby!
Karina is good with other dogs but can play rather rough sometimes, so she is currently being taught how to play properly and politely by her fellow canine friends. Since she came off the streets being very underweight and likely had to fight for her food, Karina has also retained some not-so-
nice resource guarding tendencies that are also being worked on. She responds well to corrections from humans and dogs who are older than her, and is getting better each day as she learns that her food source is stable now.
Karina is mostly potty trained, crate trained, good on a leash, good with dogs and kids, and has a sweet temperament. She is a smart little cookie who will do so well with the right person! She does not require another canine in the home in order to live her happiest life, but she would love to have an older sibling to take direction from! Karina is currently 35lbs and is not expected to grow over 60lbs.
Karina is located in Houston TX but can be transported to most US states for adoption.
