Kara German Shepherd Dog & Hound Mix Athens, GA

“Be unrelenting. If you don’t believe, then who will?” - Kara Goucher, American long distance runner

Welcome Kara! Kara is out of the puppy stage of life but still young at 3 years old and weighing just under 50lbs. Kara must be in a feline free home, but she is doing great with her new doggy foster-siblings.

Looking for a dog that is already kennel trained and housebroken? Kara has both of those down, and will even go into her kennel on command. However, Foster Mom has left Kara out of her kennel a few times while she was gone, and Kara was well behaved the entire time. Kara has very good house manners, and is very respectful of those around her.

Kara is canine-friendly! She is a little shy with new dogs, but she warms up to them once she realizes the other dogs want to be friends. Kara is wary of new people and kids, but once you’re part of her pack she loves to hang out and get attention from you! She especially loves playing ball with her person, and after that or a short walk Kara will be content to lounge around the rest of the day.

Kara is looking for someone to spend the days sunbathing and relaxing with - think you’re up for that? Then contact us today!




To ensure our dogs are placed in a safe environment, we require a home visit for all adoptions. Because of this, we typically only adopt to homes within 30 minutes of Athens, GA. If you are further away than that and are interested in one of our pups, please still fill out an application and we can discuss your options. Please understand that you would be responsible for all transportation - meeting the dog, picking the dog up to start a trial, returning the dog should he/she not be a good fit, etc. Please visit our website for more info.
