Caramel

Description

Hi! I'm Caramel! I came to Pittsburgh from an over populated shelter in West Virginia. I am so much happier in my foster's home than the shelter. I am close to two years old and I'm sure I'm a multitude of dog breeds, but the shelter is calling me a pug and a chihuahua. I am quite muscular though, so I think maybe my great grandfather had a mix of pitbull or shar pei. I am small, strong, and compact. I have such a curly tail, soft fur, a beautiful smile, and some face wrinkles! I am almost two years old and full of energy where I like to play fetch but also am quite content sitting on the couch with you. I am fully house broken but am kept safe in a crate when my foster family leaves the house.Once I find my perfect home, I will be a loyal and strong housemate. I like to act like I own the house, I mean, I do own the house, don't I? If someone I don't know enters my home, I will bark. I will let them know this is my house until I trust them. I'm not aggressive, I just like people to know they aren't welcome until I say so. I need to protect my family because I've been bounced around enough these last few months. My foster mom keeps saying I'm trainable and I'm not sure what that means, but I think it means I get all the treats I want so please, don't hold those back. I love walks and get really excited when I see you grab my leash. I love to sleep under the blankets, so please don't expect your bed to remain made if you let me in your bedroom (please let me be in your bedroom!). I might be fine with another sibling, but I've been a little jealous when other dogs are getting my foster mom's attention or if they get too close to my toys, so I'm looking for a place of my own or with someone who has another dog my size and can help curb my resource guarding. A peaceful house without children running around and not too many visitors would be ideal. If you think you fit my lifestyle, please put your app in!Caramel is now available for adoption though Paws Across Pittsburgh, Springdale, PA KL# 16182
