Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Cute as can be Carter is approx 7yrs old and weighs just a little over 8lbs. With his little underbite, he appears to be a Shih Tzu Maltese mix, with maybe some poodle thrown in. He is a friendly boy that will be a great companion dog for a retired couple or a senior that just wants a calm companion. Carter does like to get out in the yard and explore so a fenced yard would be best. When he’s ready to come in, he’ll come to the door and wait patiently for you. He then likes to curl up in his blankets or next to his person to take a nap. He is a little independent so no worries about separation anxiety. He is fully crate trained so he can be left home alone without a potty break for up to 5 hrs. He’s wonderful with kids so visiting grandchildren would be fine. He also gets along with other dogs of all sizes and cats so other animals in the home would also be great, but they’re not required. Carter is very quiet, just giving a bark here dnd there when he wants out of his kennel. He’d be a great office dog companion. He recently had a full dental cleaning snd surgery so he’s ready for his forever home.

Interested adopters should email info@k9rr.org to request an application. Once complete, the application can be returned via email and quickly reviewed. If approved, we then invite potential adopters to visit with one or more of the dogs that interest them. If the meet and greet goes well, we encourage a week long "trial adoption" to ensure a good match. During that week we communicate often and are available for support and guidance, via phone or email, 24/7.
Unless otherwise specified, K9 R&R adoption fees range from $350-$500 and include all vetting and microchip. We also provide ongoing training tips and help as needed, for the life of the dogs.
