About Caramella a.k.a. Caramel

Hi there! My name is Caramel, though some of my favorite people call me Caramella. I'm a sweet, playful, and cuddly Labrador Retriever mix with a Black Mouth Cur background. I'm about 11.9 lbs and was born around April 8, 2026.

I might be a little shy when I first meet new people or encounter new things, but with a little patience, kind words, and gentle scratches, my true, loving personality shines through! Once I know you're my friend, I absolutely adore attention, belly rubs, ear scratches, and cuddles. I have so much love to give and can't wait to share it with my forever family. My days are filled with puppy adventures like carrying toys, playing with my brother, exploring, and then enjoying well-earned naps. I'm a smart cookie, too! I'm doing great with crate training and often go in on my own for naps and bedtime. I'm also learning my potty manners and am mostly using my puppy pads like a big girl.

Above all, I'm looking for a family who will help me build 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?
