Meet the extraordinary Carter, a sweet soul believed to be a mix of Golden Retriever, Great Pyrenees, and Labrador! 🐾 This delightful boy came from a heartbreaking hoarding situation in September 2024, where he was one of many dogs. It warms the heart to know that Carter is now on a journey to find his forever home! ❤️ While Carter has faced some challenges—being one of the more reserved dogs from his former home—he's beginning to open up! You’ll often find him cautiously following caretakers around the play yard, his big, beautiful eyes sparkling with the tiniest hint of excitement. ✨ He’s still warming up to receiving treats, preferring to catch them when tossed rather than accepted directly. Baby steps, folks! We're not rushing him; patience is key. For Carter to thrive, he deserves a home with an above-ground securely fenced yard where he can explore safely. 🚧✨ Because of his past experiences, it's crucial that this gentle being finds a loving, patient family without small children. The right environment and another confident dog to help guide him will do wonders for Carter’s self-esteem and well-being. 🐕💖 As advocates and rescuers work tirelessly through GRRAND to help Carter and his fellow rescue mates, it’s clear that he has a bright future ahead.
