Description:
Carl came from a rural puppy mill. He had never lived a day of his life as a normal pet in a home, with the love and attention a pet deserves. He likely spent 24 hours a day in a crate, where he had to eat, sleep and potty. It is possible he has never even been petted in his life. He was just rescued from that terrible life and is now in a special foster home to help him learn what it is like to be a dog.

Because Carl came from a rural breeder, he needs help with socialization and adjusting to life in a home environment. Fenced yards and a home with other stable dogs to show them the ropes are best for dogs coming from this type of situation.

Find out how rewarding it can be to teach this sweet boy how to love and be loved.

AN UPDATE FROM CARL'S FOSTER HOME:

Carl is a darling fellow! He is as friendly as he is cute. A bit timid at first but he warms up quickly to all people. He enjoys everyone he meets including children, dogs, and cats. He has mastered jumping over baby gates in his quest to find company. He suffers a bit from separation anxiety and will bark when left alone. You will find him gazing out the patio windows watching for rabbits and squirrels to admire. Often he is chasing and wrestling with our resident dogs. He rarely barks even when the other dogs start bellowing. He is leash trained and enjoys long walks.
He also travels well in the car. He is not a fan of baths but doesn't seem to mind being brushed. He has had a few potty accidents so he will need to be monitored until he has his house training mastered. He is a true treasure!
