About Caramella a.k.a. Caramel

Hi there! My name is Caramel, but some of my peeps call me Caramella! I'm a sweet, playful, and cuddly Labrador Retriever mix, weighing in at about 11.9lbs. My estimated birthday is April 8, 2026.

I can be a little shy when I first meet new people or when I encounter new things. But with a little patience, kind words, and some gentle scratches, my true personality will shine through! Once I know you're my friend, I absolutely LOVE attention. Belly rubs, ear scratches, cuddles, and being told how adorable I am? Yes, please! I have so much love to give and can't wait to share it with my forever family. Like any puppy, I spend my days having fun. I love carrying toys around, wrestling and playing with my brother, investigating every interesting thing I can find, and then crashing for a well-earned nap. I'm also a smart little girl! I'm doing great with crate training and often head into my crate on my own when it's time to nap or sleep. I'm also learning my potty manners and mostly use my puppy pads like a big girl. More than anything, I'm looking for a family who will help me continue building my confidence and show me all the wonderful things life has to offer. In return, I promise to fill your days with puppy kisses, happy tail wags, and endless love. Could I be the missing piece your family has been looking for?

Application Details:

  • Applications start by contacting us through Wags.
  • An alteration contract needs to be signed by an adopter to complete the adoption.

Transporation

I am located in Houston, TX. Transport is included in the adoption fee and can take me to your state or a neighboring state. Pickup locations may vary. We coordinate with multiple transport services that operate weekly to Eastern states and bi-weekly or monthly to Western states from Texas. These are ground transports using third-party vehicles (vans/buses) converted for dog transport. You will be able to track the van using the app Life360 and will receive updates from transport along the way. Facebook chats are another resource to stay informed on tracking dogs on transport. Please be able to use one of these available services if you wish to follow your adopted dog on transport.
