Carter

Is he as sweet as he is cute??? Absolutely!!! Carter's (affectionately known as Carter John) statistics and personality: Carter John is an adorable adolescent puppy. I'd guess he's around a year and a half old, or so. He's just shy of 50 pounds. No one has the same guess as to what his breed is. His head comes up to my knee and although he has grown since we took him in, I don't think he'll get much bigger. Carter John has medium energy. He's not destructive and is totally crate trained. He can often be found picking up a toy and entertaining himself. Carter John is sweet, sweet, sweet. He's super affectionate. Our kids adore him and he loves them. He gets along with our personal dogs. And he does well with our other foster puppy about 95% of the time. Carter John is not near as confident as Cole, our other foster puppy. For this reason, Carter John would do best with an older and more chill dog sibling. He would be perfectly fine as the only dog, too. Unfortunately, if Carter feels threatened, he will try to make himself appear scary- to other dogs and to strangers, even though he really would prefer to give them kisses. I'm not sure what happened in Carter John's first months of life before the shelter, but I do know that it wasn't all rainbows and roses. It breaks my heart to have to disclose that Carter John lives with more fear than most puppies. Carter's ideal family would understand that he prefers stability and structure and that he is slow to accept lots of change- including new dogs and new people. But once he finds his people, he will trust them with all of his soul and he will hold up his part as an amazing family member. Carter deserves to feel safe, wanted and loved BIG. If you're looking for a total sweetheart who we consider to be a serial kisser, then Carter John is your boy! https://bit.ly/codys_adoption_application.
