Meet Carl! 🌟 This sweet, shy boy is on a heartfelt journey to find a loving, quiet home where he can truly flourish. Having recently been rescued from a puppy mill—yes, the one that was shut down due to neglect—Carl is ready to learn what love really means! ❤️ Now, let’s talk about Carl's adorable personality. Imagine a gentle soul that tiptoes through life, soaking in every new experience with a soft puppy heart. 🐾 He’s had a rough start and, understandably, is a little nervous about the big, wide world outside. Currently, he's not potty-trained because the backyard feels like a scary jungle to him! 🌳 But fear not! His wonderfully patient foster family has been taking him out to help him get accustomed to this vast new territory. With your kindness and understanding, Carl will one day embrace his backyard adventures! It's important for Carl's future family to know that he needs a calm, peaceful environment. 🚫👶 Homes with small children may be too overwhelming for him, as swift movements and loud sounds truly frighten him. But here's the silver lining—he's been doing well with a small dog companion in his foster home! 🐕✨ Though he’s still a bit shutdown, they share the space nicely, and with time, who knows what lovely friendship they could form! Carl is patiently waiting for someone to teach him that love can be safe and joyful. Are you that special someone ready to open up your heart and home for him? If so, you can apply to adopt Carl through the Buddy App. Together, you can help him discover the beauty of life, one paw at a time! 📱💕
