About Caramello

Caramello was in rough shape when he was found in the countryside—underweight, suffering from fleas, a skin infection, and a prolapse. Good foster care worked wonders: he gained over 15 pounds, had all medical issues treated, and finally learned what it meant to feel safe and playful. Caramello didn’t even know what toys were at the start, but he now loves romping with the resident dog and makes the most out of nap breaks, usually curled up on someone's lap. He’s housebroken, crate trained, and easy to love. Caramello still has special dietary needs due to the prolapse and stays on a soft diet, and he is currently undergoing slow-kill heartworm treatment. Caramello gets along well with other dogs, cats, and children. He’s ready for a home where gentle care and playtime are both on offer. Give this boy the warm, lasting home he deserves.
