Good Karma Rescue

Good Karma rescue has several different volunteer opportunites available.

We are currently looking for volunteers to socialize and walk the dogs.

We are also looking for foster parents that are willing to open their homes to our dogs that need a little extra help in getting ready for their forever home. A foster parent must provide a nurturing atmosphere that includes shelter, exercise, but most importantly love; it takes a special person who can provide all of this for a rescued dog and then give them up when a permanent home is found. Foster parents can also contribute immensely in placing rescued dogs in appropriately matched homes by observing their fostered dog's personality traits. This information is essential in placing dogs in the right home.

Good Karma alos has several adoption, information tables, and fundraising events throughout the year. We are in need of folks that are willing to give a few hours here and there to help spread the word about Good Karma dogs, and to spend time with the furry friends attending the events.

We are always in need of new members. If you are interested in contributing to our work, volunteers can help in any number of ways. Feel free to browse our website site, and we wish you good karma!

Mission Statement

Good Karma Rescue is a small group of volunteers that love animals. Our mission is to rescue, provide refuge, and ultimately to find permanent loving homes for abandoned, stray and neglected animals where they will receive a lifetime commitment of loving care, including appropriate gentle training, exercise, and regular veterinary care. Whenever possible we also assist dogs who, because of extenuating circumstances, are unable to remain in their homes with their guardians. We are located in Central Vermont, and work with local and national organizations to help prevent needless euthanasia, and companion animal overpopulation

I adopted a dog from Good Karma in December 2009, and she is such a fun, sweet-tempered, and well-adjusted girl. Her foster parents were wonderful: they gave me tons of information about her to make sure she was a good fit for my home. They really loved her and it was clear they wanted the best for her. They also received tons of support from Good Karma. A fantastic organization!

We had a wonderful experience when adopting our first dog Lily and then we began fostering for them. This was how we came across our second GKR dog "Switch". Good Karma is very thorough and truly cares about their animals. It's a full time job to take care of these dogs and make sure that they all end up in wonderful homes. Many of them have come from such horrible situations, situations that we would not want to put them back into. These dogs deserve loving homes that will treat these animals as family. Yes, Good Karma has high standards. But their standards are not any different than other organizations in the area. It is essential that the well being of the dog be the most important thing considered when searching for a forever home. Dogs can't talk to us and they can't choose their homes. Good Karma is responsible for these dogs, and does a wonderful job finding them homes. Thank you Teal and Matt and all the other volunteers for being so dedicated!

My family adopted our first family dog from GKR in May. The process was easy and Teal and her volunteers did everything to make sure we were adopting the right dog for our family. The dog was in a fantastically skilled Foster situation and I felt that the best interests of both our family and the dog were being considered. One of the things that makes GKR special is there is sort of a bulit in "check and balance". You feel good in getting an approval for adoption from them. The GKR community is growing as they continue to place more and more animals in loving forever homes and I feel extremely confident and happy to refer ANY persons looking towards rescue as a means of adoption to them!

We adopted an amazing dog (Brandy) from Good Karma Rescue. They did the home visit quickly and the foster home where Brandy was living was so nice. It was so much better to visit Brandy in someones home rather than in a kennel or cage. All the people I met at Good Karma were wonderful, kind, compassionate and love animals. I have already recommended Good Karma to many friends and would adopt from them again. Our experience was nothing short of perfect - just like the dog we adopted.
