Carlos

Carlos is a gentle, shy boy whose heart is yearning for a patient and loving home to help him blossom. Life at the shelter has been overwhelming for him, but behind his nervous exterior is a dog with so much potential to thrive in a calm, understanding environment.<br/><br/>When Carlos first meets new people or faces unfamiliar situations, his initial reaction is to freeze or lay down, his ears tucked in uncertainty. But with gentle words, kind gestures, and some patience, Carlos begins to show his sweet and affectionate side. He’ll lean into you for comfort and even gently take treats from your hand.<br/><br/>While Carlos is still learning about the world and how to walk on a leash, his willingness to trust is heartwarming. He has moments of bravery where he comes out of his shell, wagging his tail and seeking affection. Sitting quietly by your side, he’ll rest his head in your lap, soaking in the reassurance that he’s safe.<br/><br/>Carlos's timid behavior likely stems from undersocialization, but with time, consistency, and encouragement, he has the potential to become a confident and happy companion. He may also do well with a calm, well-socialized dog who can show him the ropes.<br/><br/>***CARLOS IS CURRENTLY IN SAN ANTONIO, TX, BUT AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION AND TRANSPORT OUT OF STATE.
