🐾 Meet Karma! Your next best friend might just be a little bit mischievous! ❤️

Karma is a 6-month-old bundle of love, energy, and puppy antics looking for a family ready to help her grow into the amazing dog she's meant to be!

Karma was originally given as a gift, but her previous family realized she was a little more puppy than they were prepared for. Now she's looking for a home that understands that puppies come with plenty of fun, a little chaos, and lots of learning!

This adorable girl is a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel/Poodle/Corgi mix. At just 6 months old, she's currently 22 lbs, and we expect she'll stay under 35 lbs full grown (unless she discovers the treat cabinet and decides otherwise! 😂).

Karma has done well with other dogs around her size. She's met children before, but her feelings about little humans can be a bit hit or miss, so we recommend bringing any children in the household along for a meet and greet to make sure everyone gets along.

Like any young pup, Karma is still figuring out this whole grown-up dog thing. She's working on her house training and leash walking, and she's still got plenty of puppy behaviors to work through. Expect chewing, frequent potty breaks, enthusiastic playtime, and lots of opportunities to teach her new things!

Karma will also need regular grooming, with the amount of brushing at home depending on how much maintenance you'd like to handle yourself versus having a professional groomer help out.

Oh, and one very important thing you should know... Karma is convinced the vacuum is her sworn enemy. She will absolutely attempt to defend her home from this terrible household intruder. You've been warned! 😂

Karma is looking for a family who will embrace her puppy personality, continue her training, keep her looking fabulous, and give her all the love a growing girl deserves!

Adoption Fee: $250

Karma is spayed, vaccinated, flea and tick treated, on heartworm prevention, dewormed, and microchipped.

ADOPTION PROCESS IS SIMPLE!
Come meet the available puppies, find your match, and if everything works for you, take your new family member home the same day!

🎹🐾 Meet Piano! 🐾🎹

Piano is a laid-back, funny, and oh-so-sweet boy who is ready to be your new best friend! 💕🐶 He’s a bit shy at first, but give him some snacks and he’ll be warming up to you in no time. 😋

Piano loves squeaky toys, chasing toys, meaty treats, and taking nice, leisurely walks where he can sniff around and enjoy the scenery. 🐾🌿 He also gets along well with other dogs!

And his favorite sleeping position? On his back with his legs straight up in the air. 😂🛌 Honestly, he’s already mastered the art of relaxation.

Once Piano gets comfortable with you, he becomes your BFF. 🥹💗 He’s just waiting for someone to give him the chance to show them what a sweetheart he really is!

✨ Meet Dazzle! ✨

Dazzle is a beautiful, confident girl with a fun and playful personality. She’s affectionate without being overly demanding and is happiest simply sitting beside you and keeping you company. She enjoys pets and attention and may sometimes be willing to be picked up, but she definitely prefers keeping all four paws on the ground most of the time. 🐾

This girl has energy to spare! Dazzle loves playing with her favorite toys, especially kitty toys, little plastic springs, and cat wands. She’s curious and always ready to investigate what’s going on around her. And when it comes to wet food… well, Dazzle gets very excited! 😂

Dazzle gets along well with other cats and dogs, although her caregivers note that she is very food-driven and should have a quiet, secure space when people are cooking or eating. She absolutely loves dogs and can be a little wary of people who don't have food to offer—so treats may be the fastest way to win her heart! ❤️

She is litter box trained and uses clumping litter. With her playful energy, curiosity, and affectionate nature, Dazzle would make a fun and entertaining addition to the right home.

🎶🐾 Meet Flute! 🐾🎶

Flute is a super excited, sweet, and playful boy who is ready for ALL the fun! 🥰🐶 He loves meeting new people and gets so excited to make friends!

This energetic guy loves playing tug-of-war, chasing rope toys, running around the yard, and of course, meaty treats! 🪢🦴💨 He’s good with other dogs and walks well on a leash, although he may pull a little when something exciting catches his attention. 😂

LOW COST DOG TRAINING OPTIONS ARE AVAILABLE NOW!

Highland Humane Society: Low-Cost & Free Dog Training Help

Affordable Online Dog Training Video Library (Plus Free Options!) 🐾
Make training your dog simple, effective, and budget-friendly—while creating a happier home for everyone.

At Highland Humane Society, we know that dogs bring incredible joy, but they can also come with challenges. Every dog is different, and both new and experienced pet owners sometimes need extra guidance. To help keep dogs in loving homes and strengthen the bond between pets and their people, we’ve created an accessible, affordable training resource.

We’ve partnered with a certified dog trainer and behavior consultant to build a video library that covers a wide range of common training topics—from basic manners to specific behavior concerns. Many videos are available for just $15, and several are free. For those who need more personalized help, we also offer low-cost, one-on-one training sessions.

If you’re wondering whether videos really work—think about how many times you’ve learned something new from a YouTube tutorial. Step-by-step visual guidance can be incredibly effective. These professionally created videos are easy to follow and give you practical tools you can start using right away. And if you feel you need additional support, our affordable personal training sessions are there to help every step of the way. 🐶💙

More details on our website under the Services tab.

Our goal is simple: keep more dogs happy, healthy, and in their homes. ❤️🐶
