Karina's Story

Karina, spayed female, 14-months-old, 31-lbs<br/>If you would like to give KARINA a forever home, <br/>please contact<br/>abetterchancerescue@gmail.com OR log onto<br/>abetterchancerescue.org to fill out online application<br/><br/>About Karina:<br/>When Karina was just a puppy, she was found abandoned in a newly developed zoning area. Because of her gentle nature, her rescuer was able to approach her with a simple greeting and easily bring her back to a foster home for safety. Upon closer inspection, we discovered that her ear had been notched. This meant she was part of Taiwans TNVR (Trap-Neuter-Vaccinate-Return) program and had been released back into the place where she was captured. However, sweet and gentle dogs like her face a brutal reality trying to survive in the wild. Bringing her in was the right call, and the best thing we can do for her now is to find her a forever home!<br/><br/>Karina has a very stable temperament, yet she is incredibly affectionate and loves to cuddle. She is highly food-motivated, any treat will have her following commands in no time. She is potty and crate trained; well behaved when inside the house, has no chewing or barking issues. She is close to human, not shy with strangers including kids, dogs and cats. She is exceptionally obedient and does excellent recall, even during walks at the park. Karina is truly the perfect companion dog for any family!<br/><br/>Please view Karinas videos at: <br/>Follows the commands well.<br/>http://youtube.com/shorts/LZZm-CwGWdM<br/>http://youtu.be/h2d42pmqsZM<br/>http://youtu.be/-C91h5UeVb8<br/><br/>Good with dogs.<br/>http://youtu.be/952wGd3Mo7E<br/><br/>Good with strangers.<br/>http://youtu.be/h2d42pmqsZM<br/>http://youtu.be/9NF1fn-Hc9c<br/><br/>Good with kids.<br/>http://youtu.be/G4F4iLHYqog<br/>http://youtu.be/gqp0hS9HDFk<br/><br/>Has no food aggression with humans and dogs.<br/>http://youtu.be/xpEmrhCgw7Y<br/>http://youtu.be/d7HrnkpaC_M<br/><br/>Leash walk training.<br/>http://youtu.be/QV5bgfpeEZI<br/>http://youtu.be/yImdKeRFaHg<br/>http://youtu.be/DvpS0_fUH60<br/><br/>Temperament:<br/>Energy level: Medium <br/>Ideal home environment: Quiet or active both <br/>Is the dog good with strangers: yes<br/>The dog is best with children of what age group? over 5 years old.<br/>Is the dog good with other dogs? yes<br/>Is the dog good with cats? ok<br/>Good on leash? yes<br/>Housetrained? yes<br/>Crate-trained? yes<br/>How is the dog with men? friendly<br/>Food aggression with people? no<br/>Food aggression with dogs? no<br/>Has the dog ever bitten anyone? no<br/><br/>Medical Information:<br/>Vaccination History <br/>1st vaccination: 3/19/2026<br/>2nd vaccination:5/01/2026<br/>Rabies Date: 5/01/2026
