Meet Carlton, our charming 4-year-old Staffy mix who`s ready to find his forever home! Carlton has been waiting for his chance since September when he was at his previous shelter before joining our rescue. Wondering how he got his name? When Carlton gets really excited, he hops around and shows off his tippy-tappy moves! And when he wants your attention, he’ll even give you an adorable paw wave. Carlton is the perfect blend of affection and playfulness. He has excellent manners, is very respectful, and seems to be house-trained. We’ve also tested him with other dogs, and he did well, so he could be a good fit for a home with a fur-sibling! Carlton has waited far too long for his perfect family. Could that be you?

Any dog that is younger than 1 year old is considered a puppy. They come with age-appropriate vaccines, are dewormed, microchipped, on heartworm preventative, and if age allows spay/neutered. If they are not old enough to have the procedure done, we do require a $100 deposit which is refunded once the surgery is done. We require the spay/neuter to be done at 6 months and can schedule it at one of our vets if you wish to not use your own vet. If you do decide to go to your own vet, once proof of procedure is done, a refund can be issued. Puppy adoption fees are $350 + $100 refundable deposit.
