Carter's Story

Is he as sweet as he is cute??? Absolutely!!! Carter's (affectionately known as Carter John) statistics and personality:<br/><br/>Carter is an adorable guy. I'd guess he's around 3 years old, or so. He's just shy of 58 pounds. No one has the same guess as to what his breed is. His head comes up to my knee.<br/><br/>Carter has medium energy. He's not destructive and is totally crate trained. He can often be found picking up a toy and entertaining himself. He's partial to orange kong balls.<br/><br/>Carter is sweet, sweet, sweet. He's super affectionate. Our kids adore him and he loves them. He gets along with our personal dogs and he does well with our other foster puppies about 95% of the time. Carter is not near as confident as most of our other foster puppies. For this reason, Carter would do best with an older and more chill dog sibling. He would be perfectly fine as the only dog, too. Unfortunately, if Carter feels threatened, he will try to make himself appear scary- to other dogs and to strangers, even though he really would prefer to give them kisses. <br/><br/>I'm not sure what happened in Carter's first months of life before the shelter, but I do know that it wasn't all rainbows and roses. It breaks my heart to have to disclose that Carter lives with more fear than most dogs. Carter's ideal family would understand that he prefers stability and structure and that he is slow to accept lots of change- including new dogs and new people. But once he finds his people, he will trust them with all of his soul and he will hold up his part as an amazing family member. Carter deserves to feel safe, wanted and loved BIG.<br/><br/>If you're looking for a total sweetheart who we consider to be a serial kisser, then Carter is your boy!<br/><br/>https://bit.ly/codys_adoption_application.

Cody's Friends Rescue's Adoption Policy
Full details can be found https://www.codysfriendsrescue.com/adopt/ Step 1 – Check out all our fur babies on our Adoptable Dogs page and let us know which one you would like to welcome into your home. We also recommend attending an Adoption Event to find your furever friend. Step 2 – You’ve found a dog (or two!) and are ready to start the application process. Please complete our Adoption Application and submit it to Cody’s to be considered for a furever home. A representative from Cody’s Friends Rescue will contact you within 2-4 business days. Requirements: Applicants must be at least 25 years of age. Applicants with children: Children must be at least 4 years of age. As a standard policy, we do not adopt puppies under 6 months into apartments. Please understand this is based on history and experience as puppies require ongoing attention and training and can be quite noisy with whining and crying when left alone for extended hours. This is based on our history and experience and exceptions will only be made if one or more of the adopters work from home. If you’re renting your home, you must show proof of landlord approval if interested in adopting. Please review your rental agreement for any breed restrictions. Exceptions may be made depending the family’s experience with dogs, and on the dog being considered. We have some dogs that prefer to be in a home with older children or low activity, and we ask that you trust our experience and recommendations to help find the best match for you. Step 3 – You’ve been approved for an official Meet-And-Greet! A volunteer with Cody’s Friends Rescue will schedule and conduct a Meet-And-Greet with your family and any other pets in the home. Step 4 – If the Meet-And_Greet goes well, we’ll schedule a home visit (which may be done as part of the Meet-And-Greet) allowing the dog to begin a 10-day home trial. The home check ensures the safety and comfort of the dog in a new home. The adoption fee is collected and held at this time until the adoption is finalized. Step 5 – After the home trial, if you’ve found your match, you can choose to finalize the adoption process by completing the Adoption Contract. Once finalized, you will receive your new dog’s prior medical records for your files, and their microchip will be transferred from Cody’s to you.
