Nothing says "love" like a Labrador, and the 1-year-old Caramel has got a lot to give. He'll lay it on you in a big way — simple, pure, likely with a slurp and a bit of slobber. He adores people and loves to play. Said to be "infinitely trainable," "intelligent" and willing to please, Caramel is happy all the time. You do have to be prepared for his exuberance, but we think it will be easily reciprocated once you let this guy grow on you. With a lovable lug like Caramel around, can't nothing bring you down!

If you are interested in adopting Caramel, email ARK at [email protected] or call 050-1557-2763 Monday to Saturday (bilingual) for more information. Tokyo ARK is an NPO founded by Briton Elizabeth Oliver. It is dedicated to rescuing and rehoming abandoned animals. All animals are vaccinated, neutered and microchipped. Prospective owners are requested to undergo a screening process.
