Carter

Meet Carter - Your Adventure Buddy, Couch Companion, and Certified Life-Enthusiast!<br/><br/>If you're searching for a fun-loving, energetic companion who's always ready for something - a road trip, a trail walk, a spontaneous game of fetch - Carter is your guy. This social-leaning pup is what we like to call an "otrovert": he has a playful, outgoing spirit, but he prefers to build trust with new people at his own pace. Once he warms up, he becomes the most loyal, goofy, joyful friend you could ever ask for.<br/><br/>One of Carter's most charming qualities is his chameleon-like play style. He's wonderfully adaptable and adjusts his energy and approach to match whichever dog he's playing with. Whether his buddy wants gentle romping, fast-paced chase games, or confident roughhousing, Carter meets them right where they are. He especially enjoys dogs his size or larger, but his ability to tune into his play partner's vibe makes him a fantastic companion for many canine personalities.<br/><br/>When it comes to adventures, Carter is always in. He'll hop into the car as soon as you pick up the keys, splash through rivers like they were made for him, and sprint after a tossed ball with pure delight. And after all the excitement, he loves settling in with his trusted inner circle for quiet, cozy downtime.<br/><br/>Carter is house-trained, knows his basic manners, and is eager to keep learning. His social skills are so solid that he actually helps "mentor" younger dogs, showing them how to play politely and navigate the world with confidence. Now, he just needs a forever family who will help him continue growing and shining.<br/><br/>What's Carter dreaming of? A home with a spacious yard, a patient and loving family who understands that trust takes time, and someone excited to share life's adventures - big and small. If you're seeking a loyal hiking partner and a joyful, adaptable companion, Carter can't wait to meet you... slowly but surely.<br/><br/>Carter's Favorite Things:<br/><br/>Chews: I enjoy crunching on my favorite chews in my safe spaces<br/>Outside Time: I love being outside and taking in my environment<br/>Hikes: I enjoy doing a few miles on the trails with my favorite friends<br/>Play: I love a fun playdate with another pup<br/><br/>Cues That Carter Knows:<br/><br/>Sit<br/>Down<br/>Let's Go!<br/>Greeting Manners<br/>Touch<br/>Place<br/><br/>Carter is an All-Star dog! His adoption comes with some extra benefits at time of adoption. Their adoption appointment includes a discussion with our Training Team, and they will go home with their very own no-pull-harness and a few enrichment goodies to help get them off to a good start!
