Carter's Story

SPECIAL NEEDS<br/><br/>NAME: CARTER <br/><br/>BREED: Terrier/Chihuahua blend<br/><br/>AGE: 2 years<br/><br/>WEIGHT: 11 lbs<br/><br/>Carter is believed to have a condition called Cerebellar Hypoplasia, or CH. He has been in foster for 2 years and his condition has improved from his arrival and he has been stable for some time. 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's potty trained, pen trained, and cat/dog friendly.<br/><br/>He loves squeaky toys and treats, and would love a home with a gentle playmate to be his buddy. 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://www.wigglytails.org/adoption-application<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. (We DO NOT hold pets for later consideration.) Our team carefully reviews and interviews applicants for the best possible fit for each adoptable pet, and potential family. <br/><br/>We look forward to facilitating a positive and solid adoption for CARTER, as well as his future family. <br/><br/>*Fostered in Eugene/Springfield, Oregon<br/><br/>ADOPTION APP:<br/><br/>https://wigglytails.org/adoption-application
