Carissima is a 4-year-old English Bulldog with as much boldness as heart. Shelter life started for her as a stray, but she’s ready to leave the past behind in Clayton, NJ and settle in with her forever people. She loves her daily walks, though she’s still learning not to pull on the leash—a bit of patience and steady training will go a long way for her. Carissima needs an adopter who enjoys guiding her and can set boundaries: she can guard high-value items like bones, so a home without young kids (under 10) is best. On the plus side, she has shown she can live with other dogs and even cats if properly introduced, fitting into a multi-animal home environment. If you’re looking for a loyal, lively companion ready to learn and eager for connection, Carissima could be the one. They are waiting with paws crossed! Apply now!
