🍀 SPECIAL NEEDS 🍀

‍

NAME: CARTER

BREED: Terrier/Chihuahua blend

AGE: 6 months

WEIGHT: 8 pounds’ish

Carter is believed to have a condition called Cerebellar Hypoplasia, or CH. He has recovered a lot of his muscle tone and balance since coming into the rescue, 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.

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.

He has a solid routine with feeding and potty breaks, and he's doing well with those.

He loves squeaky toys and treats, and would love a home with a gentle playmate to be his buddy. Somewhere he could grow into his big boy self safely and well supervised.

Carter also needs a smaller securely fenced yard because when he gets going, he goes until the fence stops him and he doesn't have good recall and occasionally needs to be carried back into the house after playtime.

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.

Tell us about yourself, family, other pets, and how CARTER will mesh with your lifestyle.

Qualifying applicants will be contacted by our Adoption Coordinator with next steps and an opportunity to set up a Meet & Greet.

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.

We look forward to facilitating a positive and solid adoption for CARTER, as well as his future family.
