My name is Carter!

Meet Carter, the cutest candidate for your heart!

Carter is still a baby and is still learning about the big world and how to be the best puppy he can be (like where to go potty and what things he can/can't put his puppy teeth on). He is doing GREAT with crate training (sleeps through the night without a peep) and he's working on the whole "wait until you get all the way outside before you potty" thing (he's still a baby--he'll get it). He is extremely food-motivated and once you get him to focus on YOU instead of just the treat, he is very easy to train and picks up what you are asking him to do. He lives with a big dog in his foster home and is very interested in being friends with her. If you're thinking of getting your dog a dog, then Carter is the perfect pup for you. He'd make a great little brother. He would love a doggy buddy but could also be fine as the only dog in his forever home.

Carter is the ultimate lap puppy. He wants nothing more than to be where his favorite person is and to climb in their lap with a good toy to chew on. He's a very mellow pup. He does love to play with other dogs and with his toys, but most of the time he's very content to just hang out and be near whatever is going on. He looks like a very "serious" puppy--part of that is just all the amazing forehead wrinkles!--but he really is just a happy, goofy, loving pup. Full disclosure that Carter has gone through a HUGE growth spurt and is a big guy for his age right now (of course he has no idea that he's a huge puppy and just wants to be carried around, loved on, and sit in your lap). With his size now, he'll likely be over 70 pounds when he's fully grown--but will probably still want to be a lap dog even then! Basically, Carter is the PERFECT puppy and is just waiting for his perfect family to bring him home!

Let's make a "paw-sitive change together! Vote for Carter and give him the forever home he deserves!
