Description:

Foster update 11/09/2019: Carmella can still be cautious and has her quirks. Foster mom has been working with her and teaching her there are people she can trust~ Certain things do still scare her and she can be possessive of toys or get nervous with people getting close to her in her bed.  Carmella will need an owner who has patience so she can get acclimated to a new environment and feel trusting.  She came from a rough life of breeding and neglect.  She gets along well with other dogs and loves to play with doggie toys and run around.

 

Carmella and daughter Dixie and Dixie's dad Rusty were owners surrendered. They were were used as breeding dogs. When they arrived at PRBJ, their nails were very, very long and they are both very scared. The previous owner did tell us the dogs are house-trained and crate trained, they like other dogs, and they are good with children.   D ue to their sizes and background, we do not feel children would be a good match with them.
Carmella likes to play ball. Right now, she is very scared and will growl and show her your teeth. We feel that once she is established in her new setting, she will not be so scared. These dogs have been through so much! They need a loving, patient home where they can learn people are good and trusting.
