Meet Carter! 🐾 This dashing fellow, estimated to be around 4-5 years young, has a heart of gold wrapped in a lovely Labrador Retriever mix. Weighing in at about 60 lbs, he may seem a bit timid at first, but oh, once he settles into his surroundings, he's simply delightful! This sweet boy needs a loving and patient adopter who understands that building trust takes time. Carter is not just a solo act; he’s incredibly bonded with his buddy Violet, who is a bit more confident. Having another pooch friend around will help him see just how wonderful life can be! A cozy, rural home with a big fenced yard is essential for him to thrive—apartment living or busy city noise would just overwhelm this gentle giant. He absolutely adores other dogs! They bring out the playful side of him, and he is ready to romp and relax in the great outdoors. Carter and Violet are the quintessential “farm dogs,” eager for a loving home where they can kick back and enjoy each other's company. It’s just pure joy! 🌼 As you bring this lovely soul into your life, a bit of a refresher on house-training will be needed, and K-9 Lifesavers recommends enrolling him in obedience training. It’s the perfect way to smoothen the transition into a new home, helping him bond with his new family and ensuring he remains well socialized. With a sprinkle of patience and a dash of love, he will flourish! To sweeten the deal, Carter comes with the whole package: his adoption fee covers basic vetting, spay/neuter surgery, vaccinations, and more! Just imagine all the love and laughter that awaits with this beautiful boy in your life! ❤️ So, why wait? This is your chance to offer a loving home to Carter through the Buddy App! Don’t forget to apply! 🌟 *Note*: Because patience is key for Carter, adopters must possess a loving, understanding spirit and meet him in person!
