Meet the dazzling Carson, a spirited 6-year-old Portuguese Water Dog who is ready to make a splash in your life! 🌊 This delightful fellow is on the hunt for a family that truly understands the nuances of his breed. Like the strong waves of the ocean, Carson can be a bit unpredictable when it comes to guarding what he treasures, so his new home ideally needs to be dog-savvy and without young children. 🐶 Now, don’t let those little quirks fool you! Without those pesky high-value toys around, Carson transforms into a lovable goof! 🥳 However, it’s essential for his forever family to help him navigate his feelings — he’s learning to redirect his resource guarding instincts with the guidance of dedicated friends at the rescue. Carson also enjoys the company of cats and is social with many dogs, even charming those he meets at the rescue. Nevertheless, on his walks, he may become a bit of a drama king, getting frustrated and biting his leash when he spots other furry pals. 🎭 When it comes to trust, Carson has a preference for the ladies! He warms up quickly to the wonderful women in his life but can be shy and take his time with men. Quick sudden movements? They’re a no-go until trust is built! 🤝 So patience, love, and understanding are key here. Carson thrives in environments where he can indulge in his passion for swimming — after all, he was bred for water and loves every ripple! 🏊‍♂️ The ideal home for Carson is one that provides plenty of mental and physical exercise. Could your family be the perfect match to help him flourish?
