Meet Karma! Karma is a small 40 pound black lab that was rescued from All Species Adoption Program Dog Rescue (www.asaprescue.org). The ASAP rescued Karma from the local pound. Not much is known about her previous life. She didn't even come with a name. The ASAP was calling her "Annie". So where did the name Karma come from? When I went out looking for a dog this time around, I already had a little boy in mind that I was searching specifically for. His name is Devin. When I was talking with Devin he said he always wanted a dog named Karma. I went up to Upper Sandusky one Saturday and had three dogs I was going to assess for the program. Karma was the first dog I assessed and within about 20-30 minutes I knew she was the one. She was the first and last dog I looked at that day and the rest is history. Welcome to the Lodestar family Karma!
