Karo

My story

Karo is an incredibly sweet senior Hound who LOVES people!!! Which is surprising considering he was locked in a closet for the entirety of his 12 years on this earth. He came to us severely emaciated and was intact with a large testicular tumor and a smaller one as well. We recently had him neutered and that removed which is considered curative by the doctor for Karo-YAY! Karo is VERY sweet but because of his total lack of resources and the incredible amount of neglect he endured his entire 12 years, he will snatch food out of your hand and you can get got if you aren't very careful. Because of this we set food and treats on the floor and are careful to show our hands a lot with him. He does also drink a lot and the vet thinks this is also because of his lack of resources his entire life. We are working on potty training him because he was used to just going where he slept in the closet for his lifetime.  While intact he did not seem to like other intact, or possibly all, male dogs. We were only able to test with a senior intact male where he is now. He did seem perfectly fine with the higher energy smaller female dogs that played rough around him though! He also can be vocal when you leave him because he was so starved for attention the first 12 years of his life.March 11, 2025, 12:49 pm
