Carter's Story

SPECIAL NEEDS<br/><br/>NAME: CARTER<br/><br/>BREED: Terrier/Chihuahua blend<br/>AGE: 1 year<br/>WEIGHT: 11 lbs<br/><br/>Carter is believed to have a condition called Cerebellar Hypoplasia, or CH. He has recovered a lot of his muscle tone and balance since coming into the rescue, however he still needs a few supports to keep him safe. For example, Carter CANNOT be left alone on furniture or allowed to walk up/down stairs on his own, as he lacks the consistent ability to navigate these items independently in a safe manner. We also recommend that Carter is held in a safe area, such as a dog pen, when not supervised, so that he doesn't get himself into trouble.<br/><br/>Aside from those easy to understand details, what is Carter like? Carter is a silly boy who likes playing with toys and other dogs. He has funny ways of walking, and he loves to hop around.<br/><br/>He has a solid routine with feeding and potty breaks, and he's doing well with those.<br/><br/>He loves squeaky toys and treats, and would love a home with a gentle playmate to be his buddy. Somewhere he could grow into his big boy self safely and well supervised.<br/><br/>It has been a joy to watch Carter blossom, and we imagine he will continue to do so with the loving attention he will receive in his future forever home.<br/><br/>To further inquire about CARTER, submit an online application via our website.<br/><br/>https://wigglytails.org<br/><br/>Tell us about yourself, family, other pets, and how CARTER will mesh with your lifestyle.<br/><br/>Qualifying applicants will be contacted by our Adoption Coordinator with next steps and an opportunity to set up a Meet & Greet.<br/><br/>Our process is NOT a “first come, first served” process.
