It was difficult to get pictures of Halo standing. Whenever I would go towards her to take a photo she would lay down and sometimes roll over. Halo is a golden honey-colored Carolina dog/terrier pit mix that weighs 28 pounds. She arrived at the Mesquite Animal Shelter on 10/9 as a stray. I was reading about the Carolina dog breed and discovered that they are naturally shy. However, once they become familiar with you they are known to be very loyal. And just look at those eyes!! If they don't melt your heart, I don't know what will! I was met at first with puppy enthusiasm, but then once she got in the yard her shyness came out. She does sit for treats and usually takes them gently. She loves belly rubs. That's part of her being submissive. She did try to make friends with some of the smaller dogs. She walks OK on a leash. She's a total sweetheart and is absolutely adorable! She is not full grown yet, so keep that in mind. She wants to be an inside dog where she can get her belly rubbed anytime she wants. She should do very well with children.
