Do More to Help Homeless Dogs. Adopt One!

Still want to do more? Karma Dogs are special dogs who have been rescued. While not
every rescue dog can become a Karma Dog, all rescue dogs need a second chance. If
you are interested in adopting a dog, but want help picking out the right dog, our
trainer will be happy to help you. Most rescue dogs have good hearts and they just
need to find the right family to bring out the best in them. The best dog for you may
not be the right dog for someone else. Finding the a good match for you and your
family is important. Remember, this dog could be with you for up to TWENTY YEARS.
When you make the decision to adopt a dog it is for the life of the dog. Karma Dogs is
committed to helping shelter dogs. We will gladly help you determine what kind of
dog is right for you, your lifestyle and your family. We have developed a questionnaire
to help get to the bottom of what kind of dog might be right for you. Fill it out and
email it back to us. We can't make promises of finding you a perfect dog, but we can
start you looking in the right direction! And who knows? Maybe your dog will be the
next Karma Dog! To get started, fill out this questionnaire and send it to
adopt@karmadogs.org.

If you are considering adopting a dog.....

The first step is really considering what kind of dog is right for you. There are a lot of
factors to consider. Read this PDF from Good Dogz.org to make sure a dog is right for
you.

Once you have decided that you are ready for a dog, please consider adopting a rescue
dog. Each year 6-8 million animals end up in shelters. Each year 3-4 million dogs and
cats will be euthanized in shelters due to overcrowding or minor health problems,
like sneezing or fleas. Only half of the animals in most shelters will find new homes.
Most animals in shelters are not there because they are bad or ill or problematic. They
are there because people did not consider what kind of dog to get or if it was the right
time for their family to get a dog. Twenty five percent of dogs in shelters are pure bred
dogs. You don't have to go to a breeder to find your dream dog. Chances are one is
waiting right down the street! For help picking out the right dog, download this PDF.
