Karol: The Dog Who Chose Love Over Christmas Toys Still Awaits a Forever Home

LACEY TWP, NJ — Karol, a resilient and affectionate dog, marks her 15th month in a shelter, still hoping for a family to call her own. Known for her unique choice of hugs and kisses over toys during a Christmas event, Karol’s story touched many hearts, yet she continues to wait for a loving home.

Upon arrival at the shelter, Karol faced trust issues, a testament to her challenging past. However, with time and care, she has blossomed into a loyal companion, ready to offer her heart to those who take a moment to earn her trust.
