Carmen is the total package: athletic, affectionate, endlessly fun, and wrapped up in the perfect medium-sized body that fits just about any lifestyle. With her gorgeous soulful eyes and bright, eager personality, she turns heads everywhere she goes — but it’s her joyful spirit that really steals hearts. This spunky girl thrives on activity and absolutely loves learning new things, especially anything involving agility, games, or adventures with her people. She’s the kind of dog who would happily zoom through an obstacle course, master new tricks, then curl up beside you afterward for snuggles and attention.

Still young and full of potential, Carmen approaches life with excitement, curiosity, and a “what are we doing next?” attitude. She adores people, bonds quickly, and brings an infectious energy that makes every day feel a little more fun. Around other dogs she’s still building confidence and learning her social rhythm, but with positive experiences and patient guidance, she’s already showing all the signs of becoming an incredible companion. If you’re looking for a smart, active, loving dog who’s ready to grow alongside you, Carmen is ready to make your life a whole lot brighter.

INTERESTED IN FOSTERING?

This pup is currently located at our Town Lake Animal Center (1156 W. Cesar Chavez, but use 1200 Reserve Road for mapping purposes). We'd love to show them off to you! To learn more about them, head in any day between 12:00PM - 6:00PM. We are open 7 days a week! Go to Building B and ask to speak with a Matchmaker about fostering this pup. You will sit down and discuss all we know about them and, if it's a good fit, get to meet them then! Please budget for a wait time unless you arrive right at opening as we cannot dictate walk-in traffic (wait times tend to be highest in the evenings and on weekends). If this pup ends up not being the best fit, we have so many other pups in need that we can suggest for your household on the spot!
