Carmela is the total package! At just 1.5 years old and weighing in at 16 lbs, she embodies the playful energy of a puppy while carrying the grace of a grown dog. She loves frolicking with her fellow dogs and then curling up on the couch with her humans. With her sweet and gentle nature, Carmela thrives on affection. She comes when called, follows instructions admirably, and is pee pad-trained. Given the right guidance and encouragement, she's sure to master outdoor potty training quickly. This girl genuinely desires to please you. A true lovebug, Carmela is happiest when close to her people, sticking by your side like your little shadow or peacefully sleeping in her bed at night. Despite facing challenges as a stray mother in Puerto Rico, she joyfully greets every new person and dog with a wagging tail. Her foster mom calls her "lovely, happy, and a doll," and it's hard to disagree! If Carmela sounds like your perfect companion, don’t hesitate to apply to adopt her today!
