About Caramel

Caramel is a beautiful shepherd mix puppy, eager to find a family that understands the joy and responsibility of raising a young dog. Like all puppies, he requires consistent training, socialization, and plenty of patience to develop into a confident and well-behaved adult. Regular exercise and positive exploration are key as he grows. Frequent potty breaks and supervision are crucial at this stage, so it's best if someone is around to guide him through his early days. As a shepherd mix, Caramel is expected to be a smart and energetic companion who will thrive with daily mental and physical challenges. While we estimate he’ll weigh between 50-70 lbs as an adult, there are no guarantees. If you’re prepared to devote the love and time that a puppy needs, Caramel could be the perfect addition to your home. Fill out a questionnaire, and a volunteer will reach out!
