SPECIAL NEEDS
NAME: CARTER
BREED: Terrier/Chihuahua blend
AGE: 6 months
WEIGHT: 8 pounds’ish
Carter is believed to have a condition called Cerebellar Hypoplasia, or CH. He has recovered a lot of his muscle tone and balance since coming into the rescue, however he still needs a few supports to keep him safe. For example, Carter CANNOT be left alone on furniture or allowed to walk up/down stairs on his own, as he lacks the consistent ability to navigate these items independently in a safe manner. We also recommend that Carter is held in a safe area, such as a dog pen, when not supervised, so that he doesn't get himself into trouble.
Aside from those easy to understand details, what is Carter like? Carter is a silly boy who likes playing with toys and other dogs. He has funny ways of walking and he loves to hop around.
He has a solid routine with feeding and potty breaks, and he's doing well with those.
He loves squeaky toys and treats, and would love a home with a gentle playmate to be his buddy. Somewhere he could grow into his big boy self safely and well supervised.
It has been a joy to watch Carter blossom, and we imagine he will continue to do so with the loving attention he will receive in his future forever home.
