Description:
My name is Carsten!

I am a really cute little guy who ended up at that pound.  I know my ears don't match, but that is because someone tried to crop my ears themselves and after the pain of the first one, they decided not to do the other.  I know that someone out there will love me and I ran away.

Please won't you come get me?  I am young and scared here, even though the people are really nice.

I promise to love you and will try really hard to be a good puppy.  I like toys, treats and people already.

Please help us help Carsten!

AN UPDATE FROM HIS FOSTER HOME:

Carsten is doing very well in our family! His potty training has progressed to the point where he only has an accident every week or two. Not too shabby! He has mastered the "wait" command for his food, and is working on it for the doorways, etc. He is also doing well with "down" although he's better with it when there's a treat involved! His pulling has improved with the help of a Gentle Leader.

He has learned to leave the cats alone. Well, mostly; he still checks in now and then to see if they want to play with him. They don't. Hehe. He makes up for their lack of interest by playing with our dog a lot. And if Buddy isn't interested, Carsten will play with himself. He also plays tug and fetch, (he doesn't always bring the ball BACK, but he's getting better at that, too). He loves all of his toys, although stuffies don't last long. While cleaning the other day, I found the laser pointer we'd lost and introduced it to him. He LOVES it. It's on a keyring, and he has already learned the sound it makes and starts looking for that little red light. Our dog isn't as impressed, and is content to let Carsten run in circles around him, (literally), and on occasion, under him. A short video of Carsten playing with the laser can be found on Facebook at  http://www.facebook.com/video/video.php?v=100401486649098&saved#/video/video.php?v=100401486649098&ref=mf

Our lovely Minnesota weather has provided Carsten with his first chance to experience snow. At first, he kept holding his paws up, but then realized it was fun to play in and EAT! I've inlcuded a couple pictures of him playing in it.

Carsten is a sweet, loveable, goofy puppy. I'm surprised he hasn't been snatched up already. Hopefully his forever family will find him soon, though!
