Great news… our sweet boy Tank is adopted!! And he scored such an amazing home with his KARUNA alumni brother Oso.
We couldn’t be happier for him.

So thankful that summer is finally here.
Taking care of all these animals is a lot of work… but so rewarding.
They are so loved and happily enjoying their lives here on the hill. We are so happy to see them flourishing.

We are currently housing and caring for:

7 horses
1 mini mule
2 pigs
5 goats
I (beyond awesome) cow 🙃
8 roosters
1 Sheep
6 dogs

All our current residents are here, in sanctuary, and not available for adoption.

In the last months we have found homes for 10 puppies from varying situations. All were spayed/neutered, vaccinated and chipped then adopted into amazing homes.

We so love what we do.!💕

We're out at a special event today for the LEAF program. This wonderful program provides needed services to families with foster children. We're so honored to be invited to this event and are excited to see the smiling little faces meeting Miss Bean!

**WARNING GRAPHIC CONTENT**
So, as previously mentioned we've been to the emergency vet with 3 animals last week. Gracie (horse), Radley (sheep), and Bean (goat). We are in desperate need of EMERGENCY VET FUNDS! Please be warned that Gracie's story and accompanying pictures are graphic.

Gracie was attacked by a mountain lion early in the morning on Friday. She came in for breakfast, and from a distance it was visible that she was limping. Upon closer inspection, we found she was horribly injured on her left side. It was immediately evident that it was a mountain lion attack. Just for a quick back story on Gracie, she came to us 3 years ago. She had been attacked by another mountain lion and was slated for euthanization before we stepped in to save her. We are absolutely devastated that once again, our sweet girl has been attacked. She is still at the vet as of writing this post and will continue to be for some time. The injury is large and wide open and will require surgery to heal properly. The vet had hoped that the skin flap would stay alive to help cover the wound, but it didn't. Besides losing the skin flap, there is a deeper injury under the top muscle. This injury will require specialized surgery, so she is on the way to a vet clinic in Loomis this morning. After surgery, she will need to stay at this vet for some time during the initial healing process. This is going to be beyond costly.

We'll be sharing Bean and Radley's story next, so stay tuned! We at Karuna are grateful for every one of our followers. You're an important part of the community that helps Karuna thrive! Please, if you can donate, any and every bit helps us get to our goal. So far between the yard sale on Sunday and donations, we've raised $4,800!! We don't have a set goal at this point with so many unknowables regarding Gracie's surgery, but realistically, we'll need at least twice that much to cover her vet bills. Please like and share this post so as many eyes as possible see it, and thank you again from all of us at Karuna!

Come one come all for our yearly YARD sale!! We are at 1215 Spear Ave enjoying this lovely weather from 10-2! Please come down and buy some stuff, or just come say hi! Donations are always accepted and appreciated as well! We've got a horse who's needing surgery after a mountain lion attack so all proceeds are going directly to her vet bills!

**EMERGENCY MEDICAL FUNDS NEEDED AFTER MOUNTAIN LION ATTACK**

This week, we've had 3 EMERGENCY vet visits for 3 separate animals. One of which included an attack from a MOUNTAIN LION! It was our horse Gracie that was attacked. She is still at the emergency vet at this point. Luckily she's alive, but we've had some terrifying moments. We'll be updating soon with another post to provide more details and pics. Until then, we want to reach out and get the ball rolling, so to speak, these vet bills are astronomical! We understand that times are tough and inflation is real. If you have even just $5 to spare, it's so appreciated. Everything donated will go directly to these vet bills. As well as donating or if unable to, please like and share this post to get the word out. The services we provide to this community are dependent on your continued support.

Even though Bailey is crate trained, he still gets bed snuggles before he goes in there for the night. He also sleeps through the whole night. What a good puppy!! If you’re interested in meeting him, reach out. ❤️🥰❤️

03/07/2024

Bailey loves hanging out with his foster siblings. Fun fact, all three dogs in the first pic are Karuna dogs! If you’re considering a playmate for your dog, Bailey would be perfect! He loves to play, but respects space, which is rare for 6 month pup! ♥️💗♥️ contact us if you’re interested in meeting him!

03/03/2024

Bailey is staying with his foster family from this past December. He’s grown quite a bit since then, and has become even more snuggly which we didn’t believe was possible. He follows his foster parent to each room, respects his fur siblings, and has been so great with crate and potty training! We’re so impressed with our three puppies that are still available for adoption. Please reach out if you’d like to meet them!! ♥️💗♥️

02/11/2024

Hello friends!!! Tank, Oso, Bailey and Bodhi are SO ready to find their forever people. They continue to be the sweetest babies, and we know they will make the best addition to someone’s home. Because of this, we have dropped their adoption cost to $200! They get neutered on Monday and Tuesday, and will be available for introductions midweek. If you’re not in a position to adopt, please consider fostering. It makes such a difference in an animals life. These puppies came from a high kill shelter and we’re so grateful for everyone’s support as we find them homes. This is why we do what we do!!! Message us if you’re interested. Thank you!!!

Hi everyone ,

We are in desperate need of all sizes of these foldable critter crates.
If you have one that you’d be willing to donate I’d be happy to come collect.

We are currently crate and house training 5 puppies and some adult puppers.

….and remember, if you are looking for your new best friend.. we have beautiful , social, happy puppies still looking for their furever families 💕

02/05/2024

cold, wet and miserable up here on the hill today, so wet that Gizzy and Finn even refused to get up and do chores with me 💕

02/05/2024

We had a fantastic adoption event! Harley met some wonderful humans today who are taking him home to see how he does with the family! Oso, aka Oso handsome, aka Oso sweet, generated a lot of interest! Hopefully, we'll get an application turned in for him this week! Two Rivers Pet And Wildlife Welfare Services had a great day as well. They had many applications turned in for Sugar Mama's puppies! We are so thankful to everyone who came out to say hi and meet these sweet babies! Your support is what gives us the ability to keep saving animals. Not to mention a big shoutout to Emma at Tractor Supply for organizing this event. You're a rockstar!! 💜🐾

Edit: I forgot to mention that Dozer, now named Henry was also officially adopted today! 😀

02/04/2024

Please come out and see us today at Tractor Supply today from 10-4! We're set up inside to get away from the rain! Come meet your newest furry family member! Interested in fostering? Let us know!

Karuna animal rescue is such a special place! It’s days like volunteer Sunday, that stand out. Many of our volunteers have dogs adopted through our rescue and they bring them to roam the acres and play together. It’s so touching to see them all together, and embracing all the newbies. The four puppies we’ve had in our care for several months are still available. They’re so well socialized, goofy, intelligent, kind and sweet. To see them engage with the Karuna “alumni” is such a delight! They’re pros at hiking, snuggling, eating, and following in their big siblings footsteps. Please consider adopting one of these cuties.

01/15/2024

What a beautiful day spent on the hill with these sweet puppies. All four are still looking for their forever homes. They’ve had an incredible amount of socializing with other dogs (young, old, small, large, two legged), pigs, horses, goats and roosters. These puppies have the sweetest personalities! They’re adventurous, silly, loving and so playful. Please reach out to set up a time to meet them. ♥️🐶💗

Micheal just messaged me that today is Nova Lous’ one year anniversary of arriving from India to their rescue in New Jersey.

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY BEAUTIFUL NOVA!!

I followed her story on FB for a while and when she hadn’t been adopted after multiple events I decided that maybe we could help.

With the amazing support of Michael and ZFF the money was raised for a trip to the east coast to bring her back to KARUNA.

Once here, and after seeing how happy she was being a part of the pack on the hill the decision was made that she would be a permanent part of the KARUNA family. We haven’t looked back since…

A huge thank you to everyone that made a difference in sweet Novas life, rescuing her in India, getting her to the US.. surgery, care, fundraising, but mostly just loving her!! We can’t thank you all enough for making it possible for her to be here with us.

She is loved, happy, bossy (🤪)… and an amazing spirit! She lives everyday her way. She runs with us all on walks, plays with the puppies, loves all our volunteers and never ever seems to have a bad day. We could all take a lesson from this sweet strong puppers.

I feel blessed to be her caretaker… while she’s the COO…

We love you Nova Lou Snuggle Butt💕

Everyone here wants to wish you all a happy new year… and what a year it has been for us. New rescues, adoptions, completed projects, new and wonderful supporters and of course, as in all rescue, some sad losses and goodbyes.

A huge thank you to everyone who has helped us to continue our amazing journey.
Here’s hoping that KARUNA and its village can continue to help animals in and out of our community in the year ahead.

….and please remember to like and share our posts.💕

The sweet puppy crew have been with their foster parents for over one week and their personalities are blossoming! 🐶The first two adorable pictures are of Harley. He’s the first one wanting kisses in the morning, naps more often than his brothers, runs to you if he hears a scary noise, and LOVES his foster sister River. 🐶The third photo is of Oso the adventurer. There’s only one picture of him because when his brothers are napping on couches, he’s exploring the house and property with his big foster brother Lenny. Oso will make a great hiking companion! 🐶The fourth and fifth picture are of sweet Bailey. Bailey can hardly focus on eating his breakfast and dinner without wanting snuggles in between. He’s the first one on your lap when you sit down and the first one to figure out how to jump on the bed (he was allowed). 🐶The sixth and seventh picture are Bodhi. Bodhi is both independent and makes it clear when he wants affection and love. He loves to find cozy places to snooze and after a few minutes will find his foster mom for some snuggles. He loves to play with his siblings and is very food motivated and a quick learner. 🐶 the last picture is their foster sister River who was adopted in April from Karuna Rescue. If you’re interested in meeting these sweet pups, please reach out to us! They are truly a delight to spend time with and love. ❤️💜❤️

Puppy update: they were all allowed inside today and it was quite the adventure for them. They are so precious, sweet and curious. Their foster parents are wanting them to become familiar with inside noises and potty training. Oso, Bailey, Bodhi and Harley are still looking for their forever homes and would love to go into the New Year settling in with their new family members. Please contact us with any questions or if you’d like to meet them!

Enjoy this silly videos of the pups learning how to go down stairs! Harley was the first one up the stairs, but struggled to get down. 😝😂. Nothing like goofy dogs to put a smile on your face!! Contact us to set up a meeting. 🐶🐶🐶🐶
