My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Caramello came into the Shelter with her two littermates. They were all strays and came into the Shelter a bit spooked. An experienced foster took them in to provide them some thoughtful socialization and allow for us to get to know them.

Their foster reports: `These sweet candy pups are definitely in need of some more overall positive socialization with the world around them. They are all extremely fast eaters so are currently eating out of slower feeders for breakfast and dinner, the meal is used for training. They all know sit, down and are currently working on stay. They have all been around big and small dogs as well as cats. Each dog sleeps in their own crates at night and are able to make it through the night without noises or poop accidents occasional pee accidents though depending on water intake before bed. (overnight crate time 10:30 pm - 6:30/7 am) More things to know about them is given the breed the do have more sensitive stomachs and the wet food I was giving them was causing diarrhea so currently only eating dry food and any diet changes should be done slowly. They are major chewer and should be closely monitored to avoid eating or destroying unwanted things. They all love kisses and belly rubs.

Caramello is quite shy with new people, but she will warm up eventually. She is a bit more forceful with cats, tries to jump on them and bite them.`

Please come down to the animal shelter at 1001 Rodriguez Street and we can set up a show with their foster parent, and you can ask specific questions to learn more about them.
