Carl

My story

Hi I’m Carl, and I was on the timestamp list because there wasn’t much space, but I was able to go to a foster home on May 13, 2025. I’m a handsome, sweet guy with a cute little spot over my eye that makes me even more adorable. I’m super affectionate and I’ll love and cuddle you to the max! I’ve learned a few tricks, like “sit,” “down,” and “wait,” and I might even surprise you with a few others if I get some tasty treats. I’ve gotten better at not being too greedy with treats, but it’s still best for little ones to give me treats with their hands open. My foster parents say I might be better in a home with adults or older kids, but I’ve met so many people of all ages, and I try my best not to accidentally knock the little ones over when I lean in for pets! I walk nicely on a leash, but I can get distracted when I see another dog. I bark happily and wag my tail, but sometimes it scares the friends I want to meet. When I’m at my foster home, I’m pretty quiet. I don’t worry about what’s going on outside except for my foster dad leaving for work. I even once supervised some construction work outside my foster parents’ house and I wasn’t scared by all the noise. I was called a playgroup rockstar at the shelter, and I’ve lived with several dogs since I came to my foster home. My foster parents say that slow introductions are key, and they could see me living with another dog or being your only companion.
