DESCRIPTION

Meet Kara Belle — aka Kara “Cuddle Bug Supreme” Belle, professional heart-melter, part-time lap warmer, and full-time good girl. If you’ve ever thought, “I wish I could adopt a living, breathing hug,” congratulations… you just found her. Warning: prolonged eye contact may result in immediate emotional attachment and an uncontrollable urge to take her home.

Kara Belle is around 4 months old and already mastering the art of being the sweetest, softest, most gentle little soul you’ll ever meet. There is something so special about the way she moves, the way she leans into you, and the way she just quietly soaks up love like it’s her favorite thing in the world. She’s not pushy, not overwhelming—just this perfectly balanced, affectionate little puppy who wants to be close to her people and feel safe and loved.

Let’s talk about her favorite activity: cuddling.
If there were an olympic sport for snuggling, Kara Belle would take gold every single time. She will happily curl up next to you, melt into your side, and just exist in the sweetest, calmest way. She loves pets, but in the gentlest way—she’s not demanding, she just quietly accepts affection like “yes… this is exactly what I ordered.” She’s the kind of dog who makes your home feel softer and calmer just by being in it.

Now don’t let her cozy vibes fool you—she is still a puppy! In her foster home, she’s thriving with multiple other dogs and absolutely loves to play. She gets along wonderfully with everyone she meets and has such a happy, easygoing personality. She’s social, well-adjusted, and learning all the good dog things by being in a loving environment. She’s the perfect mix of playful when it’s time for fun, and calm when it’s time to relax.

Kara Belle would do beautifully in either an apartment or a house. She’s not over-the-top high energy, and her adaptable nature makes her a great fit for different lifestyles. Whether it’s a cozy apartment with lots of couch time or a home with a yard to explore, she’s just happy as long as she’s with her people.

And yes—Kara Belle is a tripod, meaning she has three legs. But here’s the thing: she doesn’t see herself as “missing” anything. She’s strong, resilient, and already learning how to navigate the world in her own way. She may do things a little differently, but she does them with so much heart. Tripod dogs are incredibly special—they adapt, they persevere, and they love just as deeply (if not more). Kara Belle is living proof that you don’t need four legs to live a full, happy, playful life.

She’s also just adorable—a fluffy little Border Collie/Lab mix with a soft coat and an even softer personality. The kind of puppy people stop and say, “oh my gosh, she is SO cute,” and then five minutes later they’re still petting her.

Kara Belle is looking for a forever home that will:
• Give her lots of love, patience, and cuddles
• Continue helping her grow into the amazing dog she’s already becoming
• Appreciate her gentle, affectionate nature
• And of course… let her take over the couch (she’s already claimed it in spirit)

She doesn’t need perfection—she just needs someone who will love her the way she already loves everyone else: softly, sweetly, and with her whole heart.

If you’re looking for a puppy who is equal parts snuggly, happy, gentle, and special, Kara Belle might just be your perfect match.

All that’s missing now… is her person.

https://g.co/kgs/UQ5Pyai We care deeply about creating lasting matches between dog and family for long term success, and take the time to ensure each adoption is a fit through our matchmaking process.

At our 2 acre Texas based property, we assess every animal with trainers on staff, we modify behavior as needed, and create individualized behavior plans to help prepare dogs for their future families including crate training, potty training, leash walking, etc. Our fosters are able to attend group training and socialization play groups helping them stay confident, well rounded, and adoption-ready. Our on-site trainers are dedicated to each dog’s growth and we enjoy seeing their progress!

We go above and beyond to ensure every animal receives exceptional care. Veterinarians consistently praise our medical standards. From routine care to advanced treatments, each dog receives personalized attention. Hard costs for a healthy dog range from $804-$920; heartworm-positive dogs or those needing specialized care can exceed $2,000+. Adoption fees help cover a portion of these expenses, but without government funding, we rely on fundraising to bridge the gap—ranging from $100–$1,000+ per dog.

Our adoption fees reflect the extensive care and resources that go into each animal we save. The adoption fee is a donation to the mission and goes far beyond getting a fully vetted pet.
