About Carina

Carina is a sweet girl estimated to be around 4 years old and comes to us from a commercial breeding background. Born on April 22, 2022, she has begun to explore a new world filled with care and affection. Although she is shy with people, Carina is not afraid to be gently handled and picked up. With time and the right approach, she's starting to show interest in the love being offered by our staff. Witnessing her gradual journey toward trust is heartwarming. Carina enjoys the company of other dogs and would thrive in a home that understands her needs. We’re still unsure about her feelings toward cats at this time. As she learns to navigate life outside of a kennel, she will need patience and gentle guidance with things like housebreaking and daily household sounds. This girl is soft-natured and has a lot of potential to blossom into a delightful family member. If you have a nurturing spirit and are looking to support a tender soul, Carina might just be the perfect fit. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and let's get started.
