Carl

My story

Dog Name: Carl Age: 1-2 years Gender: Male Breed: Pit mix Weight: 68lbs Crate trained: Yes Potty trained: Yes Dog friendly: Yes Cat friendly: Unknown Kid friendly: Yes Vaccinated: Yes Spayed/Neutered: Yes Heartworm: Negative Microchipped: Yes Energy level: Higher level Location: Carl is being fostered in Palatine, IL. No out of state applicants, please. Special Needs: Carl has diabetes insipidus. He’s on a daily medication that helps to keep him drinking and urinating normally. Since being diagnosed and starting meds, Carl is accident free and happy as can be. This is a lifelong medication that is easy to get refilled at the vet when needed. Carl is a young, sweet boy who doesn’t understand personal space. He is immediately comfortable enough to hop right into your lap and force you to pet him. If you stop petting him, he will nudge you as a reminder that you’re supposed to be petting him. Carl walks well on leash and is so gentle and sweet when meeting new people. He is not dog reactive, even when other dogs are barking at him. He’s good in his crate and has a great routine and knows when it’s his time to go into the crate. He’s a young boy so he does need some exercise but he absolutely loves playing fetch and will bring a ball back to you over and over again to keep playing. Once he’s gotten some energy out, he loves to cuddle and take naps with his people. He’s incredibly smart and highly treat motivated so you can teach him almost anything. Overall, he’s a really good dog that would do well in many homes.
