My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Carter: Your New Adventure Buddy!

Carter is the perfect companion for anyone seeking an active, fun-loving dog. This social butterfly thrives on making new friends-both human and canine-and is always ready for the next adventure! Whether it's a car ride to a scenic hiking spot, splashing in the river, or a game of fetch in the yard, Carter is up for it all.

He's becoming quite the expert at socializing with other dogs, especially those his size or larger who are game for a good chase or wrestling match. While he's still refining his communication skills, he's eager to please and is ready to learn with his forever family.

Carter dreams of a home with a spacious backyard where he can run, play, and soak up the day. He's house-trained, knows his basic cues, and is just waiting for someone to open their car door and take him on a new journey.

Ready for a hiking buddy who's loyal, fun, and full of love? Carter's your guy!

Carter's Favorite Things:

Chews: I enjoy crunching on my favorite chews in my safe spaces.
Outside Time: I love being outside and taking in my environment.
Hikes: I enjoy doing a few miles on the trails with my favorite volunteers.

Cues That Carter Knows:

Down
Let's Go!
Greeting Manners

Carter is an all-star dog, and his adoption appointment includes a discussion with the training team, as well as a few enrichment goodies to help get you both off to a good start. To learn more about Carter or to schedule an appointment to meet him, please email info@ahconnects.org (including your name and phone number), and the staff will be happy to assist you.

Our dogs and puppies go home spayed/neutered, microchipped, heartworm tested (7 months and over), and up to date on core vaccines, heartworm, flea, and tick preventatives. Their adoption also includes a free-vet exam at one of our participating veterinarians.

Ask fosters@ahconnects.org about fostering Carter, while he waits for his forever home!
