About Carmen

Meet Carmen, a remarkably beautiful, shy girl in search of a loving forever home. Carmen is a petite 2.5-year-old Labrador and Weimaraner mix, weighing 40 lbs. She’s kind-hearted and enjoys being close to her humans as she emerges from her shyness. After a tough first year on the streets, this low-maintenance sweetheart simply wants to embrace a joyful life. Initially hesitant, Carmen takes a bit of time to acclimate to new environments, but she’s blossoming as she experiences kindness. Her bond with people strengthens on leashed walks, and she’s motivated by food, making it easier to form connections. Carmen gets along well with other dogs, provided they respect her space; she's shared her foster home with nine other dogs. With her calm demeanor, she won’t engage in mischievous behavior or chewing. Ideal for a quiet household, Carmen thrives in low-energy environments and may startle with sudden movements or loud noises. While she enjoys gentle interactions with older kids—she's even warmed up to her foster parent’s 11-year-old grandson—she’d be best suited to a home without children under 10. Once comfortable, she’ll seek out cuddles and relish a slower-paced lifestyle filled with relaxation, walks, and cozy chill time. Carmen is currently being fostered in Round Rock, TX, and is adoptable in Texas and Northeastern States. Your new best friend is just one click away.
