Meet Caraxes Caraxes is one of five little dragons who came to us from a county shelter in Georgia after being dropped off in horrible conditions at just six weeks old. These babies were battling parvo, a deadly and relentless but preventable virus, and the shelter simply did not have the resources to provide the lifesaving medical care they needed. Their lives were at risk, and we couldn’t let them suffer. Caraxes is a little girl who deserves a life filled with love, comfort, and all the simple joys of puppyhood. She should be busy discovering the world, making memories, and finding her favorite person, not facing such a frightening beginning. We are so grateful she was given the chance to have a different future. Now, we hope that future includes a family who will cherish her, keep her safe, and remind her every day that she matters. Caraxes has so much life ahead of her, and we can’t wait to see her grow into the wonderful dog she is meant to be. Please consider opening your heart and home to this little dragon. Caraxes deserves a loving family and a happily ever after of her own. Please remember that adoption bios are only a snapshot of each animal. They are meant to give you a glimpse into their personality and story, but there is so much more to learn. Please reach out to our Adoption Team for additional information about Caraxes and to learn if she may be the right fit for your home. All dogs will be altered, microchipped, and receive age-appropriate vaccines prior to adoption. Interested in fostering or adopting? Need more info on this dog?
