Name: Carter
Breed: Shepherd Mix
Sex: Male
Age: 1 year
Weight: 70 lbs
Hi, I’m Carter! I’m a handsome shepherd mix, about a year old and weighing in at 70 pounds of pure potential. I’ve had a bit of a rough start, but I’m working on building my confidence and learning all the things a dog should know.
My previous owner didn’t really treat me like a dog—I was more of a lawn decoration than a member of the family. Nobody took the time to teach me the ropes, but I’m ready to catch up! I’m still learning some basic manners, but I’m eager to please and always up for a little training.
I’m playful with other dogs and enjoy their company—having a furry friend by my side helps me feel more at ease. I’m still figuring out how to trust humans, but I’m a good guy with a lot of love to give once I know I’m safe.
If you’re looking for a handsome, sweet dog who just needs a little guidance to become the best companion, I might be your guy. With patience and time, I’ll be your loyal, loving buddy. Let’s work together—what do you say?

He is currently in a high-kill shelter in Georgia and urgently needs our help! He needs an ADOPTER or a temporary FOSTER home so he can catch a ride with Mutt Life Dog Rescue of Wisconsin on Saturday, January 11th, 2025 to Cedarburg, Wisconsin. If nobody steps up for him, he will be left behind in the shelter, and we don't want him to miss this important chance for a better life. Let's come together to give him the future he deserves!

Thank you for considering adopting from Mutt Life Dog Rescue of Wisconsin. We are a foster-based rescue in South Eastern Wisconsin. We partner with several high-kill shelters in rural Georgia to support dogs in desperate need of help. Our mission is to give these animals a second chance at life and the loving families they deserve. By rescuing them from shelters, we not only save their lives but also open up space for other animals in need, helping to reduce the heartbreaking number of pets that face euthanasia. Together, we can make a difference in their lives and offer them hope for a brighter future.
All dogs come with a certified vet inspection, up-to-date vaccines, flea/tick, and heart-worm preventatives. We cover partial reimbursement for spay/neuter costs if they have not already been fixed.
To apply to adopt, please fill out an adoption application on our website at (www.muttlife.org) and review the adoption requirements to ensure you meet the necessary criteria to apply!
Here is a summary of our adoption process:
1. Apply: Fill out the adoption application on our website completely and submit all necessary documents.
2. Application processing: we do a thorough background check, landlord approval (if applicable) or home ownership verification, vet check, and review your application. This process can take up to 5 business days.
3. Please authorize your vet to release medical information with Mutt Life.
4. Application Decision: approved applicants will be notified via phone call and email.
5. Foster-to-Adopt Trial Period: After approval, you have the opportunity to do a meet and greet and bring your dog home! You get a 5-day foster-to-adopt (FTA) period to make sure it's the right fit.
6. Final Decision: By the end of the FTA period, please let us know your final decision to adopt or return the dog to our rescue.
7. Home Visit: After the adoption process we conduct a home visit either in person or via Zoom meeting to ensure that everything is going well with the transition and to answer any final questions you may have.
8. Neuter/spay for puppies: if dogs are adopted before 6 months of age and are not neutered/spayed yet, we will work with you to coordinate an appointment with one of our veterinary clinic partners or you can go through your vet and we will give you a partial adoption fee reimbursement.
