Did you know humans need 8 hugs a day? The CARA dogs make sure our kennel care team doesn’t fall short on their daily quota. If you’re finding yourself a few hugs short on a daily basis, adopt a CARA dog! You can find our adoptables on our website www.carams.org. Submit an application and we will be happy to help you find a perfect match for your home and lifestyle.

Billy Bob is one of our long time residents. He’s a quirky fellow who communicates by growling…when he’s happy, wants something, needs space… He needs a family who will let him be his own man and make his own choices (within reason). Also, just because he’s on the smaller side does not mean he wants to be picked up. In fact, he really hates that! He wants to walk on his own and will do so when he’s ready. Billy Bob is a hugger, but only when he wants it, and he will let you know when. Lastly, Billy Bob wants to be the center of your universe and doesn’t want to share his people with other animals. When you have the best, why mess with the rest? This funny, complicated guy is a staff favorite and we would all love to see him find his forever home outside of the shelter.
