About Cara

Cara is a playful seven-month-old spayed female with a unique mixed heritage, including a touch of Chesapeake Bay Retriever. Her coat is a stunning tricolor of brown, black, and white, complementing her medium build. Affectionate and smart, Cara has the energy to engage in fun activities, while also knowing when to relax. She loves to be around people and gets along well with dogs and children. Cara's journey began when she was born in the home of her mother, a cream-colored Shepherd Pyrenees mix, who had been rescued as a stray. She’s received all her necessary vaccinations, including rabies and Bordetella, and is ready for her forever home. This loving pup is not yet housetrained, making it essential for her new family to be patient and ready to teach her. Can you be the one to give Cara a loving home? Every adoption requires a journey.
