About Caramella a.k.a. Caramel

Hi there! My name is Caramel, but some of my favorite people call me Caramella. I'm a Labrador Retriever mix with a heart as sweet as my name! I'm just a little pup, weighing in at 11.9lbs as of June 3, 2026, and my estimated birthday is April 8, 2026. If you're searching for a puppy who's a perfect blend of sweet, playful, and cuddly, I think we're meant to be!

I'll be honest, I can be a bit shy when I first meet new faces – new experiences can sometimes feel a little daunting. But with a little patience, some kind words, and a few gentle scratches, my true, loving personality shines through. Once I know you're my friend, I absolutely adore attention! Belly rubs, ear scratches, snuggles, 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-deserved nap when all that puppy work wears me out. I'm also a pretty smart little girl! I've been doing great with crate training and often head into my crate all by myself when it's time to nap or go to bed. I'm learning my potty manners too 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.

Transportation

I am currently located in Houston, TX, and transport is included in my adoption fee! Please note that pickup locations for transported dogs may vary and could be in nearby towns or states. We coordinate with multiple transport services that operate weekly to Eastern states and bi-weekly or monthly to Western states from Texas to your state or a neighboring state. These are ground transports using third-party vehicles (vans/buses) converted for dog transport. Each adopter has the ability to track the van using the app Life360, and receives 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.
