More about Carmelo

Meet Carmelo!  Carmelo is a Shepherd mix with the sweetest, most gentle soul. He was born mid-march 2025.  This loving boy is a little on the shy side at first, but with kindness and patience, he quickly warms up and shows just how affectionate and loyal he can be. He would love to be your one and only pup! he does best when he does not share a home with other dogs.  Carmelo is already potty trained and is proving to be a quick learner — eager to please and easy to train. He’ll thrive in a calm, patient, and loving home where he can continue to grow and feel secure. With his gentle heart and loving nature, Carmelo will make a truly special addition to any family ready to give him the love and reassurance he deserves.
