Hi, I'm Carmel, a six month old chocolate Lab mix with soft brown eyes, white-tipped toes, and a heart that's just waiting to belong to someone. I can be a little shy when I first meet you, but it doesn't take long before my sweet side shines through. Once I know I'm safe, I lean right in for attention, because being close to my people feels pretty wonderful. I'm a spayed girl, about 35 pounds, and I seem to do well with the dogs here. I especially adore Cricket, which should tell you I have a gentle way about me. I also went to the vet this morning and was such a good girl that they called me a model patient. I'm healthy, heartworm negative, up to date on vaccines, treated for parasites, and more than ready to leave my stray days behind. What I really want now is a family that will give me a little patience at first, then watch me blossom into the loving companion I'm meant to be. I have that lovely mix of tender and affectionate that makes every small moment feel special. If you're looking for a young dog to grow with, cheer for, and love for years to come, I hope you'll come meet me. Carmel's adoption fee is $350.
