Hi, I’m Carmela!

I’m a 3-year-old cattle dog mix… mixed with something that apparently forgot to grow legs. I’m about 30 pounds, which makes me the perfect “take me everywhere” size.

My foster family keeps calling me “the best dog,” and honestly… I try not to let it go to my head. I’m completely house trained, crate trained, and so trustworthy that I don’t even need the crate when my people are gone. Give me a comfy spot to nap, and I’ll happily hold down the fort until you get home.

If you already have a dog, great news—I absolutely adore other dogs! Whether it’s playing, hanging out, or just sharing the couch, I’m happiest with canine friends. I also love people and am always ready to hand out tail wags and sweet smiles. Cats? I’ve been known to chase them and they tend to not like that so probably best I don’t live with them.

I’m past the puppy chaos but still young enough to enjoy adventures, walks, and playtime. Mostly, though, I’m just looking for a family to love with my whole heart. If you’re searching for an easy, affectionate, all-around wonderful companion, I think we should meet. I have a feeling I’ve been saving my best years just for you.
