Karlie American Bully Saginaw, MI

Karlie came into the rescue's care in May 2024 as a heartworm-positive/forced-into-retirement breeder. Her neglectful owner did not care to pay for heartworm treatment and was going to have her euthanized. Thankfully, our friends at Saginaw County Animal Control called us right away and a wonderful foster home immediately took her in. KARLIE IS OFFICIALLY HEARTWORM FREE and will be spayed on October 23, ready to go to her forever home one week after her spay. She is approximately 4.5 years old and 55 pounds. In addition to being heartworm-negative and spayed, Karlie is current on vaccines and microchipped. She is being fostered in Bay City, MI and her adoption fee is $150.

Karlie is SUPER affectionate with people, and seems to have a preference for men. She has not been a big fan of small kids getting into her personal space when we've had her out, so kids should be 10+, and I don't believe she will be trustworthy with cats. She's done well with other dogs in the limited interactions she's been able to have during heartworm treatment, but I believe she would do better placed with a male. Karlie is a BIG toy hoarder - she loves stealing from the toy box and taking stuffies out in the yard. She seems to have some mild allergies (had some skin issues when she first came to us), but is maintaining well on a good quality food. However, I wouldn't rule out needing some allergy meds seasonally.
