Carmelito is a big-hearted guy with an even bigger smile! This lovable goofball is convinced that he is, in fact, a lap dog—and honestly, who are we to argue? Carmelito loves snuggling on the couch and will happily curl up next to his favorite people at bedtime. He is affectionate, devoted, and happiest when he gets to be close to the people he loves.

When he's not busy perfecting his cuddle skills, Carmelito enjoys getting outside and having some fun! He loves running around with his dog friends, playing chase, going for walks, and settling in with a stuffed or durable chew toy. He's also delightfully clumsy and has a tendency to tumble around on the couch in ways that keep his people laughing. With his goofy grin and equally goofy personality, Carmelito is never short on charm.

Carmelito is house-trained, rarely has accidents, and walks nicely on a harness, making him a wonderful companion for daily adventures. He does well with other dogs and is respectful of their boundaries, enjoying their company and opportunities to play.

Carmelito can be nervous when meeting new people, especially men, and will need patient, slow introductions while he continues building his confidence. Once he knows he's safe, though, his sweet and affectionate personality truly shines. He is also working on resource guarding around toys, treats, and food, so his new family should be prepared to continue training and thoughtfully manage those situations.

For the right family, Carmelito will be a loyal, loving, goofy companion with plenty of cuddles, smiles, and personality to share. Give this big lap dog a little patience and a place to feel safe, and he'll happily reward you with endless affection—and probably a few entertaining couch tumbles along the way!
