My story

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

Meet Caramelo!

This 5-month-old sweetheart was rescued with his siblings in Puerto Rico, where there are far more dogs than available homes. Now safe in Virginia Beach, Caramelo is thriving — playful, social, and full of love.

✨ About Caramelo:

• Male, 5 months old

• Neutered

• Healthy, happy, and ready for a forever home

• Adoption fee: $395

Caramelo has been living with his brother since arriving last weekend. While they get along wonderfully, their foster family only planned for one pup and is hoping to place Caramelo (or his brother Cameo) with another foster or adopter soon. We want to support them without overwhelming them.

If you can open your home to this adorable boy — even temporarily — we’d be so grateful.
