Channel

Channel is an 8-month-old Caramelo Dog weighing 43.6 lbs, who is searching for a loving forever home. Channel’s story began in heartbreaking circumstances. She was born as part of a litter of five puppies on a property where corrosive cleaning products were manufactured. The security guards at the site did their best to feed and protect the puppies, but as they grew older, they became curious and adventurous. Tragically, the puppies fell into an oil pit, and Channel was the only survivor. On a cold January 4th 2026, after learning about the tragedy, her rescuer brought her home to safety. Within days, Channel received the care she desperately needed. Since then, she has been given the chance to heal, grow, and learn what love feels like. Channel is a playful and affectionate girl who enjoys attention and gentle pets. She gets along well with cats, dogs, men, and women. At first, she can be protective and cautious around new people, but once she feels safe, her loving personality quickly shines through. Channel can also feel nervous when left alone, so she would do best with a family willing to give her patience, reassurance, and companionship as she continues building confidence. After surviving such a tragic beginning, Channel deserves a family that will give her the safety, stability, and unconditional love she has always deserved.

Ideal Home

Channel would do best in a home with a fenced backyard. She needs an active family that enjoys outdoor activities and has a genuine intention to rescue a dog, not just adopt. Families with an understanding of the needs and behaviors of rescued animals, and who are willing to provide protection and education, are ideal. Experience with dog behavior and training is preferred, or a willingness to hire a trainer is a must to help this intelligent dog thrive. Channel requires a high tolerance and patience for rescued puppies. She is not house-trained.

Ongoing Health

Channel has received comprehensive veterinary care. She has been spayed and received DHPPI and Rabies vaccinations, as well as Bordetella. She is up-to-date on deworming and is microchipped. She has tested negative for heartworm and received a 4DX test. She is on monthly flea, tick, and heartworm prevention (Nexgard Spectra). A health certificate and vaccination booklet are provided.

Training & Support

Channel is not house-trained and will require significant patience and understanding as she adjusts to a new home. She can be nervous when left alone, so she will need reassurance and companionship to build confidence. Families should be prepared to provide consistent training and a structured environment.
