Date into Rescue:  09/06/24

Reason for being in rescue: Found as a stray in eastern North Carolina

Special Needs:  Sometimes has loose stools.  We're working on it.  He may have some food sensitivities.

What kind of home would be best for me: Carson, a delightful young pup, joined us from an animal shelter in an underweight condition. We're diligently working to get him back to a healthy weight and showering him with the love he deserves. His new family will need to continue this care by ensuring he receives proper nutrition to reach the ideal weight for his breed.

Carson is an energetic, happy, goofy puppy. As a playful and energetic puppy, Carson will thrive in a home where he receives plenty of attention, care, and training. He needs his adopter to be home more than they are away. Carson would benefit greatly from a routine schedule to assist with potty training, as he currently makes messes in his crate. Carson is learning to walk well on a leash with a harness, but he'll need guidance on basic commands such as sit, stay, down, and come.

Carson would be a great match for a single person, a couple, or a family, especially if someone is home most of the day. Carson would do great with a family that has older kids, or another dog. Carson can be a bit nippy when he plays (he's a puppy), and barks a lot (again, he's a puppy). Keep in mind, Carson is still learning, and this is typical puppy behavior.

What is my personality like: Carson is a goofy, upbeat, clumsy, and playful pup with a lot of energy. While he's not excessively hyperactive, he will need a good exercise routine and proper meal plan to help him gain muscle and reach a healthy weight. Carson would enjoy daily walks, a playtime in a fenced in yard, and trips to the dog park. He loves roughhousing with the dogs and playing with toys, especially chew toys and ball.

We are unsure how Carson will interact with cats, so a gradual introduction to your cat would be advisable.

How do I act when I first meet new people: Carson may be a bit nervous when meeting new people, taking a moment to warm up. Once he feels comfortable, his fun and loving personality shines through. His caregiver describes Carson as a very fun, high energy, sweet, loving little boy that brings joy to everyone he meets.

Tips and Tidbits: We estimate Carson's birth date to be on or around 08/27/23.  Carson is a staff favorite.  We can't wait to see this boy find a home.  Please note, he's been dealing with some loose stools lately. He may have some allergies but we're working to try to fix this. 

House trained: Dogs can be house trained if they are in the right environment and are allowed to follow a schedule if a physical reason doesn't keep them from being trained.  A dog house trained in my home may not be in yours. We will help you teach your new dog this necessary skill and based on your schedule.

Please note - we do not ship or transport our dogs. If you are interested in adopting a dog, take a look at the distance between the dog's location and your location and make sure you are able to make the trip.

Thank you for your interest in a dog who needs a new home. This description contains all that we currently know about this dog. We have no perfect dogs - but many of our dogs have proven to be perfect for a certain someone. We urge all of our potential adopters not to fall in love with a picture. When screening applications, we look at the entire home and then make suggestions based on what would be a good fit for your home. You are not being screened for a specific dog although we are looking to see what type of dog interests you - poodles or non poodles, age, temperament, personality, etc. Our goal is to match you with the best possible pet for you and your home. We want to create furever families.
