Carmen's mom says: We're newlyweds and Carmen is our first puppy. She is a Boston terrier / Pomeranian mix. She was rejected from a hybrid breeder, so she ended up at a shelter where we adopted her. Two days later she got very sick and ended up in the hospital for a week, attached to an IV. The doctors weren't sure if Carmen would beat the virus, but miraculously she pulled through. She's a head-strong little fighter. Without her strength, she never would have made it home. Once she got home, she doubled in weight. She has a ferocious appetite and loves eating everything. She also loves people, sitting on laps, and giving lots of kisses. Her best friend is Leroy, an 80-pound German shepherd mix, who she plays with for hours at a time. Carmen loves prancing, jumping, and chasing butterflies. She is so sweet, smart, and full of life. We feel very lucky to have her as part of our family!
She is an absolute darling. Her eyes are so beautiful. Can't wait to see what she looks like when she grows up!
Kitty? No...it's Carmen!
So glad she's pulled through her rough start. We're wishing you a long, happy marriage and a long, healthy life for Carmen!
Carmen is so sweet! It was so fortunate she was able to fight the virus, you are both lucky to have each other! Lots of wonderful years with Carmen!
How on earth could someone give up such a sweet little baby? She is so friggin adorable, I just want to kiss her and give her lots of belly rubs. Congrats on your marriage and your new baby :) Give her lots of love and she'll give it back in spades.
What a lucky little girl Carmen is to have you as parents and to survive that virus. How could you not love her she is just so precious looking. I too, thought she had a feline look about her in some photos as she looks so graceful. Love her eyes and alert ears. And congratulations mum and dad.
Hello, Carmen, you sweet, beautiful baby! I am so glad that you and your Mom and Dad found each other :) The idea that someone would breed and discard a wonderful puppy like you is criminal. A pox upon them.
God bless you, Mom and Dad, for rescuing this very special little girl. May you have many, many years of joy, wonder and love together. What a great way to start your lives together. Congratulations all around!!
She is a delightfully adorable little critter! I would love to see a pic of her playing with the shepard mix :D. I just love her ears and her little white 'socks' and the white vest-- she is just perfect. I'm so glad she recovered and has a nice loving home. I hope you have many happy years with this little sweetness. I agree with slyvanbliss - she looks like a kitty from the back view standing walk or porch. :wink
What a beautiful sweetheart! Thank you for rescuing this baby. I have 5 in my house that have been rescued and they all make my heart feel happy!
Hugs and kisses to Carmen
What a cute baby! So glad that the virus has been overcome. I'm sure the breeder knew what dogs they crossed, but for the life of me, she sure appears to be a Shiba Inu cross, the telltale "milk dribble" on the chin - that disappears with maturity, the "urajiro" like coloring on the chest, the delightfully alert eyes, the curled tail, and how she curls the paw under while lying....a definite shiba trait. Read up on them...definetly the most catlike dog there ever was. My black and tan looked very similar as a pup, especially the milk chin.

I have listed two sites to see pics similar to your pup, including one from "The DAILY PUPPY"!
She is extremely adorable. Thanks so much for adopting this little angel. Rescuse dogs are the best. I hope she remains in great health.
[color=pink]I can't stand the thought of her being discarded like trash because they didn't "like" her. There are some cruel people in this world, BUT more importantly there are more people like you who believe in these animals and rescue these darling babies. Carmen is just too sweet for words. She is my idea of the perfect puppy and how sweet that the two of you newly married have a new baby to play with. Carmen is a doll what ever her mix and you guys are all so luckly to be together. I'm so glad she is well and all of you are happy. Congratulations on your marriage and your new baby doll!!![/color]
To all dog lovers and owners , love your dogs a lot. I lost my 11year old dog , Casey last night. He was and is the joy of my life. So, please love your dogs a little more today and maybe my dog casey will feel the love.
Carmen is a beauty, and I'm glad the breeder couldn't see it -- it means she went to a home where she is truly valued! Many years of happiness to her and her newly joined mom and dad!
caseyanddavesmom, condolences from all here! Many of us have been there ourselves, sending a friend to the Rainbow Bridge before we wanted to let them go. Know that Casey is strong and healthy now, and will be waiting for you when it's your turn to come across. And I know that my Sam will be happy to show him around the place -- he went to the Bridge three years ago, and I still miss him.
What a doll baby! Interesting cross, never heard of that one before. Thank you for rescuing him, he'll bring you much joy...
This picture shows just how content she must be. Enjoy her, she seems like a wonderful puppy and is very lucky to have you and it sounds like you are lucky to have her. What a rough start she had. I don't know how people can just reject these dogs like they are old rags. But it all worked for the best because you ended up with her. How lucky you must feel. Hugs, kisses and lotsa biscuits.
WHAT A CUTIE!! SO GLAD SHE GOT A GOOD MOMMY & DADDY. WHY WOULD ANYONE DISCARD HER LIKE A PIECE OF GARBAGE? :( I JUST DON'T GET PEOPLE. STAY HEALTHY. WOOFS TO YOU.
I love this pup!!! A mixed breed rescue will always steal my heart!! How lucky your little family is to have each other!!!
Wonderful that you rescued her! "Instant Baby!" for your wedded life. Many happy years together.
SO glad she beat that virus!!
What a wonderful story and a beautiful puppy. She fought her illness and now doing so well with a wonderful family like you. As the saying goes it was meant to be!
A gorgeous little girl-I wish you all many long years of happiness and fun with Carmen!
Could Carmen be any cuter? I don't thinks so!!! This is such a cute little girl, I know you guys are going to have a great time with this little lady. What a beautiful face she has. Congrats on your new life together as a couple and as wonderful dog owners!!! Enjoy this lovely little baby doll!!!!
Cute pup! One of my co-workers has a ???/pom mix and I can see the pom in Princess now. SO glad she made it thru the virus to get on Daily Puppy. 11 biscuits!
Carmen is sweet!!! God bless you for rescuing her and then seeing her through the difficult time. I hope that the 3 of you share many loving memories, kisses (licks), and good times.
how could anybody reject such a sweet face?!?!? congrats to you for adopting her, and I'm so glad she got over her virus. adorable! have many happy years together!
Oh, yeah. There are that Boston Terrier "you can deny me nothing because I'm so adorable" look.
I get that all the time from my Boston Terrier.
What great pictures of a great little pup. There is no doubt she is truly loved by her mom and dad.
To caseyanddavesmom - I truly understand the hurt involved in losing a beloved baby. May each day be a little easier for you.\
Hugs and kisses to all.
My goodness! I totally agree that she looks remarkably like a shiba inu! How funny that the crossing of such breeds would result in that. She's absolutely darling:) I had a sweet boston terrier puppy in the spring who got very ill and did not make it, so I am overjoyed to hear your Carmen made it through:) She looks like the sweetest, prettiest little girl and I wish you all the love in the world!! Best to you little Carmen and your loving parents!!!
What a sweet, sweet Funny Baby...I just want to give her buches of hugs and belly rubs..Thank you sooo much for sicking by her side..Many happy Years to ya!!!!P.S. Congrats on the marriage many happy years to ya for that too..hehe
I gave Carmen 11 biscuits, of course. Love her cute, funny face!
I also gave you all 11 biscuits for rescuing and taking such good care of your wonderful puppy!
My, is she a cutie! And what a face! I have never seen a dog that looked quite like her! She is certainly unique, in every way! Many snuggles are sent her way! Be sure to check out my pup Quincy, who is the Grown Up Puppy for today!
Carmen, such a sweet name for such a sweetie. Congratulations on your marriage and Carmen.
And to caseyanddaves mom, my Cody is there to welcome Casey and tell Casey it will be okay.
What a beautiful little puppikins! Bless you for adopting this little baby.
How could ANYONE reject a sweet pup like this? I am convinced that these hybrid breeders do no not know what they are doing and in the end are causing harm to animals by breeding them indiscriminately.
Please promote responsible breeding and adopt from shelters if you can. There are rescue organizations for every breed. So have a heart. :)
Bless you for rescuing her. She will reward you over and over again for giving her a second chance in life. She's a sweetie pie!
Love the closeup picture of her.
Promote responsible breeding. Rescue whenever you can. There are so many puppies and adult dogs just waiting for you to help them.
What a unique little cutie-pie! Many hugs and kisses her way. I won't say what I think about people dumping dogs like that, but I sure am glad that little Carmen has a wonderful home and that she is healthy and happy now.
If I didn't know better, I would think she was a kitty cat.
Sorry Carmen, don't want to offend you :). anyway, I am soooooo glad to hear you pulled through your ordeal. No pup should have to go through that. Poor baby. Thank God he pulled you through so you could be with your family who loves you so much.
You are a cutie Carmen. Best of luck
What a sweetie! She looks so bright and alert. I second all the comments about responsible breeding and rescues, and condolences to all who have lost canine friends. A long and happy life together to Carmen's family!
Possibly one of the cutest babies that I have ever seen... One of my babies is a Pomeranian/Jack Russell mix and I can see some similarities...Hooray for you going to the shelter to get you're new baby! Give him hugs and kisses for us all!
Oh my goodness, how can I pick just one photo? The inquisitive head-tilt elicits squeals of glee from yours truly, but it's the glimpse of ittle-bitty puppy toofies that really does me in. What a total cutiehead!
Carmen is a doll!!! You are great to rescue her and help her to get
well. She will bring you much love ands joy. hugs and kisses from Lily's mom
Anyone can see in the pictures that Carmen is a very content and happy puppy. And with good reason! Two wonderful people were led to her and took care of her. She will give you more love, loyalty and enjoyment than you can imagine and it will all be totally unconditional. You are wonderful people.
I never would have thought that a boston terrier x pom would be a good mix, but OH MY, how cute!! And so glad to hear she survived parvo (the virus you refer to, I presume). How great for Carmen - and you - that you were there to give her the care she needs to pull through such a terrible ordeal. Enjoy her!!
She is even more adorable than I remember ~ thanks for rescuing her & being such awesome parents :)!
Kisses & hugs to "baby" Carmen from her former foster mom...
Hi! i recognize the shaved iv marks on her forearms and tummy...brings back memories of the time when my puppy was so sick (parvo) and had an IV...he's all better now though! and i'm so glad your sweet little lady is doing so much better too! Lots of love to Carmen!
What a cutie! Thank you for rescuing her, how could they reject such a sweetie. I am glad she is doing better. Kudos to you for taking such good care of her and 11 biscuits to Carmen.
Lots of biscuits to little Carmen. She is very lucky to have you as her parents. She seems to be very well now and we hope for many, many happy years together for all of you. :)
Cute little face!!!
Elizabeth & Miss Katie =O)
What a beauty she is! Your first baby, and she is precious. Many happy healthy years to you and Carmen!
Do you guy's have any idea how WONDERFUL you are???? Well let me tell you... There is a special place in heaven for folks like you! You saved this little babies life, without your love, she wouldn't have made it. You are my HERO'S! Congratulations on your marriage, and your first baby!!! She is so CUTE! Many, many, happy years together. 11 biscuits to sweetie-face Carmen.
Carmen is one lucky pup-pup to have such a wonderful mom and dad. What a giving way to start a new life with her - to see her through those tough times. Now, she will be forever bonded to you and your family for saving her and she will give nothing but love forever. Be happy, play hard and stay healthy. You are truly an inspirational little family. Kisses to Carmen.
How adorable. I think this pic shows just how tiny she is. She for sure has the heart of a tiger to be able to beat such a horable illness so early in life. Those "designer dog" hybrid breeders should be responsible for their "culls". At least pay for their upkeep at shelters/foster homes.
What a sweetheart! It sure sounds like she found a wonderful, loving home. She looks happy, bright, intelligent and content. Here's wishing you all a long, happy life together.
Carmen is a cutie. Nice of you to take care of her when she was sick.......enjoy your life with Carmen
Carmen is the best looking wee dog I have ever seen...I think this is a wonderful combo!!! I don't understand why anyone would 'reject' this wee dog!!! Lots of kisses and belly rubs for Carmen
A very very cute little puppy. What a wonderful thing you did rescuing her. I'd just like to mention that her breeders were probably puppy millers, who routinely discard or cull puppies, and frequently keep the parents in small wire cages for theier whole breeding lives. If you are buying a puppy from somewhere other than rescue, please insist on seeing the parents in person.
STOP IT with the pictures....I CAN'T CHOOSE JUST ONE!!! What a little dollface! I want to just scoop her up and love her. Obviously she gives kisses too, and I give one right back, plus a hundred biscuits. Thank you for rescuing such a sweet puppy.
You make it so hard to choose a favorite with all those great pics! :)
Stay strong Carmen, and mommy and daddy keep taking such good care of her!
Hugs and kisses for Carmen :D
Wow, she's absolutly darling. Does she have any clue how beautiful she is? Congrats on you new puppy! :) ;) (&)
Puppy nose! OMG can she be any more adorable!!! What a fabulous mix! I would love to find one! Thank the good Lord she pulled through and has you both to love her and give her a super happy life. Here's to many years of health, happiness and love with your little Carmen.
Well you know our Xabi is a boston and we just love this little Carmen. She is the business. Bless you for rescueing her and giving her a loving home. We love her boston markings with her pomeranian body features - what a great little mix you have there. Just too cute. Congratulations and all the best. Xabi's Mum
how can someone look into those beautiful eyes and not fall truely, madly, and deeply in love!?! I do not understand treating animals as disposable just because they dont have the right look. Thank heavens you found her, and she has you to love. Wishing you many happy years together as a family.
I can't understand how anyone could reject such a sweet, loving little thing! Lucky for you, there are idiots in the world! I hope you have many many years of happiness with your Carmen...
Congratulations on your new family! Carmen stole my heart with her sweet face and soft eyes. I love her colors, she is a beautiful puppy and is going to be just as pretty as a full grown dog! Thank you for sharing her with us and proving once again that mixed breeds produce the most beautiful pups!!
wow, my friend has a pit bull/chihuahua mix and he looks a lot like yours!
what a cutie! have fun with her!
I've never commented before but I just had to--Carmen is the first puppy I've seen who has pulled at my heart so much! She is the most adorable thing in the whole world, and your story is very touching. I am so pleased to see someone on this site getting a shelter puppy amongst all the purebreds. Rescue animals are the most rewarding thing ever. Dang, she's cute!!! Did I mention that she's cute and awesome? Yep.
Oh, I love her! Eleventy-seven biscuits! Stay well, Carmenita.... and congrats to all on your new family.
She is so beautiful..Yes what soulful eyes she has, so full of intelligence and love. You guys are so blessed. I have a male who could pass as a older litter mate. He is seven and his name is Goosie. 1000s of buscuits. woof, woof....
What a darling little angel! She is really unique looking and just totally captured my heart--what sweet people you are for hanging in there with her--so glad she is doing well! Kisses little Carmen!
What a cutie~ I have a black pomeranian pup, and she has the same little beady eyes ;) I am sure she is as sweet as she looks in these pictures! Btw - Congratulations to her mommy & daddy~~
