carissa

Meet Carissa!Carissa surrendered to PRBJ when she was 7 weeks old after being given to a lady who was not prepared to care for a puppy. Thankfully, she then brought Carissa to the center for assistance.We believe she is a Catahoula Leapord Dog mix. Carissa is outgoing and full of energy. She is doing well with leash walks and likes playing with toys and running around in a game of "catch me if you can." Important Information for New Puppy Parents Welcoming a new puppy into your home is an exciting and rewarding experience—but it also comes with important responsibilities. To help your puppy grow into a happy, confident, and well-adjusted adult dog, dedication to obedience training, socialization, and consistent potty training is essential. We strongly recommend that the entire family participates in puppy training classes. This not only helps build a strong bond with your new pup but also ensures that everyone is using the same commands and techniques, creating a clear and consistent environment for learning. **Puppies thrive with structure, patience, and positive reinforcement—and so do their families! Let’s set them up for a lifetime of love and success
