Story
In Foster Care Hello there friends, my name is Carmelita! I'm an 8-month-old, spayed Chihuahua who currently weighs around 7lbs. I'm still growing and may get a tiny bit bigger over the next few months, but only a little. I'm a sweet and gentle gal that is working on my confidence. I may need a little time to get to know you, but once I'm feeling comfortable, my playful puppy side starts to shine. I would love to go home to a family with a another dog to help me find my footing. It would also be great if I could go home with a family with older teens or adults only as I work on feeling confident in my own skin. If I sound like the girl for you, please stop on by with the whole family and say hi. Carmelita ID#A0994630 My foster family want to let you know; "Carmelita is a very sweet girl. She is working on building up her confidence, and has benefited from having a buddy to show her how to do “dog things,” like go on walks and play with toys. She loves playing chase, and is learning what happens when she gets caught. She likes cozy, covered/enclosed spaces for alone time, cuddling with her foster sister, and is warming up to cuddling with people. She's very curious and prefers going on walks with a dog buddy, which helps her be more confident and playful. She will walk with a person, but she is more scared of noises and people when she's unaccompanied by another dog."Unless otherwise indicated, adoptable animals are located at our Lantos Center for Compassion at 1450 Rollins Road, Burlingame, CA 94010. You may call us at 650-340-7022 to schedule an appointment, or just drop by. Drop-In hours for Same Day Adoptions are 11 am – 5 pm, 7 days a week (closed major holidays). We do our best to update our listings regularly, but we can’t guarantee every animal you see is still available. It’s also typical for us to have animals who haven’t had their photos taken yet, so you are welcome to visit our adoption center and have a look around! To check on an animal's adoption status, please call 650-340-7022 during normal business hours to speak with an adoption counselor. Emails will be returned as soon as possible, but please allow up to 48 hours during busy adoption periods like weekends.November 10, 2026, 9:36 pm
