CARTER

My story

HI - I'M CARTER, a sweet, loving and strong 4-year-old Doberman/Shepherd mix with so much love to give. I love humans and being around my person or people. I was originally rescued from a California shelter and am now in a foster home! I am house-trained and crate trained (I love my crate) I love running, playing with my squeaky toys, going for walks and cuddling with humans. If you let me, I'll share your bed! I have an easygoing and funny personality, and am looking for someone to offer me a safe and comfortable home. I would do well with a fenced yard as I love to do the zoomies! I'm super smart and I learn quickly: I know the commands of "easy" (when I'm getting a treat), "stay" and I am learning to sit on command. I'm very receptive to training and am food motivated and super smart! I'm good with some dogs but not others, but I learned quickly to be with horses in a respective way. I would thrive as an only dog, only because I love attention from humans so much! I would also do well in an active, calm, family-oriented environment. I would do well with a single person, a couple or a family. I love kids, and would love to wrestle with teenagers! I can also be low energy as I love to lay around and relax, too. I have a few areas where I'm a work in progress: I can pull on a leash during walks, and be protective of the home and my people. Overall, I'm a wonderful dog with so much potential. I am a gentle giant who will thrive in a home where he’s given structure and consistent training. With lots of love and training, he will continue to improve and be an amazing companion. I weigh 68 lbs. I am currently in a foster home but may also need a new foster home soon. Please email for an application!
