In the shelter’s words

Meet Kari – Black Mouth Cur / Carolina Dog Mix Birthday: 6/15/2023 Weight: 40 pounds Gender: Female Health: Healthy, vaccinated, and spayed Kari is a joyful, affectionate girl with a playful spark that lights up any room. She loves exploring the outdoors, sniffing out adventures, and then winding down with cuddles when it’s time to relax. Kari is the perfect combination of energetic and loving—she’ll happily run and play with you, then curl up by your side as your loyal companion. Breed Info: As a Black Mouth Cur / Carolina Dog mix, Kari blends intelligence, loyalty, and adventurous spirit. Black Mouth Curs are known for their protectiveness, energy, and strong bond with their family, while Carolina Dogs are independent, alert, and highly intelligent. At 40 pounds, Kari is a medium-sized dog who will thrive with both mental and physical stimulation. She is social, affectionate, and loves being included in family life. Owner’s Responsibilities: Daily walks, playtime, and mental enrichment. Consistent training using positive reinforcement. Regular vet care, grooming, and a healthy diet. Things to Consider: Ensure your home and landlord allow medium-sized dogs—some rentals restrict breeds like hers. Kari will need time, attention, and patience as she adjusts to her new family. Be prepared for lifelong love, care, and commitment. The 3-3-3 Rule: Kari may need 3 days to decompress, 3 weeks to learn routines, and 3 months to fully feel at home. Vet Care: Kari is healthy, vaccinated, and spayed, but it’s important to see your own vet after adoption to establish ongoing care. Commitment for Life: Adopting Kari means being her forever family, loving her through all stages of life—from playful adventures to calm, relaxing days at home. Why Kari Would Be a Great Addition: Kari is the perfect blend of playful energy and heartfelt affection. She will bring joy, laughter, and companionship to her forever family. Her loyalty and love will make her not just a pet, but a true member of your family—someone who will be by your side through every adventure and every quiet moment.
