About Carmella
Carmella shines just as brightly on the inside as she does on the outside. With her adorable underbite and charming personality, she has quickly embraced her role as the household princess. Carmella enjoys sprinting around a secure backyard and playing with a small ball. While she’s still mastering leash walking, a harness is helping her learn. She interacts well with other small dogs but feels a bit intimidated by larger breeds. Loud noises unsettle her, so a calm environment without small children would suit her best—older kids are fine, however. Carmella loves to snuggle in laps and share affectionate moments while lounging and watching TV. Due to her underbite, she prefers wet food, which is easier for her to chew. She's fully pee pad trained and does well when taken out every four hours. Carmella is quiet, clean, and has brought joy to her foster home. Ready to make her your own?
