Kenzi

Teal, how can we ever thank you for doing what you do, and saving this wonderful dog? I can only imagine what a time commitment it is to run your organization with the care and integrity that you obviously do. For one, you have chosen and surrounded yourself with amazing volunteers and foster parents. Before finding you we contacted a couple of other rescue agencies, and though well intentioned I'm sure, we found poor communication and poor follow through made us hesitant to make an adoption commitment. Your organization was an entirely different beast. The first person from GK to contact us was Kitty who got back to us first thing on Monday morning after we filled out an application Sunday evening. It may have been first thing, but she had ALREADY contacted both our current and past vets. She spent a lot of time with us and very delicately asked many a question trying to discern if Kenzi would be provided a good home. Within a day she had contacted our reference and set us up for a home visit. Stage 2 steps in Kelley who probably within minutes of getting the paperwork on Kenzi called me and we must have been on the phone for nearly an hour. Not only did Kelley bring Kenzi in to her home for 5 days, she kept this adoption alive every minute of the 5 days she had Kenzi. I'm sure she got about as much work as I got done that week which wasn't much because the flowing e-mails and pictures and updates came in nearly hourly. And, she didn't sugar coat everything. She was perfectly honest about Kenzi's behaviors, the good ones and the ones that needed some repair. She and Kenzi created a fierce bond in those 5 days, and because of this Kenzi was able to make a safe and rapid transition to bonding with her new moms. I will be forever grateful to Kelley for doing that for Kenzi and for us. That kind of love and dedication one doesn't see every day. So, kudos to you for picking a great team of people who all share the same goal. Okay, so now comes the more than you want to know part. Kenzi has been here one week as of 5:00 today, and she has rapidly transitioned and integrated into this family. Her and I are like glue, as I am the one who mostly works from home, who does most of the walking, and the errands (she LOVES to accompany me on all manner of errands). She is a very smart gal and has figured out many things about the rhythm of the household just by observing.

Sally

We adopted Lexi from Good Karma Rescue in May 2012. She came from Georgia. She is the sweetest dog in the world! We are so grateful for Good Karma Rescue...they were wonderful to work with and they truly care about their animals and finding the right homes for them. We would HIGHLY recommend Good Karma Rescue if you are looking to adopt a pet.

Bert

Thanks for checking on us! Bert and Ernie had a bit of a rough start. A day or so of the big brother not actually liking the fact that a new member had joined the family. But as you can see by the pictures attached they are now two peas in a pod. It was once again a pleasure doing business with you and Good Karma Rescue! We recommend you to everyone we know who is looking for pets.

Tabitha

It's been a little over one year since we adopted Mayzie (formerly Tabitha) and we could not be happier. She is such a fun, loving, goofy & smart dog. She loves going for walks and hikes, car rides, playing with her friends at doggie daycare, visiting work and especially loves her toys. She still plays with the blue tennis ball you gave us the day we brought her home; it may just be her favorite. She has grown quite a bit, now 60lbs. She successfully completed a training course shortly after we got her and she continues to impress us with her learning skills. She has a few tricks and does great both on and off leash. She is so well behaved and is a show stopper when we are out and about. We are always getting asked what kind of dog she is, where we got her from and mostly if they can pet her. Once they do we always hear how soft she is! She has brought us such joy, we couldn't imagine not having her in our lives. Thanks to you, Peggy and everyone involved in rescuing her so we could give her the life she deserves! Best of luck to you in future adoptions - keep up the good work!

Bixby

As we come up to the 3 year anniversary of our adopting Barley (formerly Bixby), I thought I'd give you an update. We had to work through some fear aggression issues with him in the beginning, but he has grown into one of the sweetest dogs we have ever met. He has a big personality and people comment on his sweet nature and good looks where ever we go. He lives for hikes, swimming and daycare – where he is currently the "pup of the month" :-) He also has 3 kitty friends who loves to play and cuddle with. Just wanted to thank you and your organization again for all the work you do and for bringing Barley into our lives
