These games are important to Karlie because this agile pup who has a heart of gold was actually abandoned by her past owners for “being too old”.
Karlie In my opinion Is the ‘poster pooch’ for this show — and the reason I wanted to create and do Dog Bowl from the start. She was one of the contestants in Dog Bowl II after being dumped by her owners at almost 16 years old for ‘being too old’ which they actually had the nerve to write on her release papers

“Karlie could’ve easily ended up a ‘lifer’ spending her remaining days/years at Florida Little Dog Rescue, she got the gift of a lifetime and what we hope for ALL of these older pets in need — a forever, loving home”
Rappaport Said
Thanks to the attention she raised for senior pets during her time on the field, Karlie will be one of the first canines to enter the “Dog Bowl Hall of Fame.”
It’s so hard to believe that only 15 minutes into last year‘s show she received multiple requests for adoption after sitting for 16 months without a nibble (no pun intended) again proving when you shine a dire light on these seniors, lives get saved!
Her life now is exactly what it should be filled with joyful playful days in a loving environment with no fear of being abandoned again”
Rappaport Added
After being abandoned, sitting in the shelter for over a year, playing in the Dog Bowl and getting an inaugural Dog Bowl Hall of Fame honor, Karlie is still full of energy. Her current owners feel like Karlie has gotten younger over their time together.
