Karen, a delightful 4-year-old mixed breed, is eagerly awaiting her forever home at the Bangor Humane Society.

 

Weighing in at 60 pounds, this large breed dog combines intelligence with a playful spirit.

 

Her bravery and loyalty make her an ideal companion for someone seeking a devoted friend.

 

Karen thrives best as the only pet in a household, ensuring she can shower her human with undivided affection.

 

While she may be selective with other animals initially, her bond with people is unparalleled once established.

 

A home with older children would suit her energetic and playful nature perfectly.

 

The Bangor Humane Society, located at 693 Mt. Hope Avenue, has been a cornerstone in matching people with pets since 1869.

 

They serve over 200 communities in northern and eastern Maine, facilitating the human-animal bond through adoption.

 

Their adoption process is streamlined to help you find the right companion efficiently.

 

To meet Karen or learn more about other humane society dogs available for adoption, visit the shelter during their operating hours: Monday through Saturday from 1 pm to 6 pm.

 

Adoption fees for young dogs like Karen are $175, which includes a wellness exam, behavioral evaluation, spay/neuter, vaccinations, and a microchip—a package valued at over $1,300.

 

By adopting Karen, you're not only gaining a loyal companion but also supporting the mission of the Bangor Humane Society to provide humane treatment and successful adoptions for pets in need.

 

Take the first step toward bringing Karen into your life and experience the joy of a faithful friend who will always be by your side.
