Caramel - Labrador Retriever and Black Mouth Cur Dog for Adoption in Houston, Texas

Hi there, my name is Caramel!

Labrador Retriever X Black Mouth Cur / Weight: 11.9lbs. on 6/3/2026
Estimated birthday:04/08/2026


If you're looking for a puppy who is equal parts sweet, playful, and cuddly, I think we should meet!

Ill admit, I can be a little shy when I first meet new people. New things can be a little scary sometimes. But give me a little patience, a few kind words, and maybe some gentle scratches, and you'll quickly see my true personality come out.

Once I know you're my friend, I absolutely LOVE attention. Belly rubs, ear scratches, cuddles, and being told how adorable I am? Yes, please! I have so much love to give and cant wait to share it with my forever family.

Like any puppy, I spend my days having fun. I love carrying toys around, wrestling and playing with my brother, investigating every interesting thing I can find, and then crashing for a well-earned nap when all that puppy work wears me out.

I'm also a pretty smart little girl! I've been doing great with crate training and often head into my crate all by myself when its time to nap or go to bed. I'm learning my potty manners too and mostly use my puppy pads like a big girl.

More than anything, I'm looking for a family who will help me continue building my confidence and show me all the wonderful things life has to offer. In return, I promise to fill your days with puppy kisses, happy tail wags, and endless love.

Could I be the missing piece your family has been looking for?

Love,
Caramel

*We coordinate with multiple transport services that operate weekly to Eastern states and bi-weekly or monthly to Western states from Texas to your state or a neighboring state. These are ground transports using third party vehicles (vans/buses) converted for dog transport. Each adopter has the ability to track the van using the app Life360, and receives updates from transport along the way. Facebook chats are another resource to stay informed on tracking dogs on transport. Please be able to use one of these available services if you wish to follow your adopted dog on transport.

*Our adoption fees are based on the vetting we put into each dog. Fees for puppies (under 12 months) are higher because they require more vetting than dogs over 1 year.

*Listed breed is based on a best guess estimation by rescue and veterinary staff; DNA tests are not included in adoption.

*Our adopters are eligible to receive 50% off training with Curbed Behaviors Dog Training for programs booked within 30 days of adoption, and 25% off programs booked within 60-90 days of adoption.

*All of our adopters are invited to join our Alum Pupdates Facebook group, to share their story and their adorable pup with fellow Sunnyside Street Dogs adopters!

*We have a strong adoption process, backed by reviews from previous adopters. Check out our reviews on Google and Facebook.
