This dude is always ready for an adventure, whether it's a spontaneous road trip, a trail walk, or a game of fetch that could rival the Olympics! 🚗🌲🎾 With a social-leaning personality, Carter embodies what we affectionately call an "otrovert": he’s playful and outgoing, yet knows the value of building trust at his own pace. Once he warms up, you’ll find yourself with the most loyal, goofy, and joyful friend imaginable! One of Carter's most charming traits is his chameleon-like play style. 🦎 He can adjust his energy and approach to match his playmates, no matter what they bring to the table!

He particularly enjoys playing with dogs his size or larger, making him a fantastic buddy for all canine personalities. Adventure is Carter's middle name!

And after a day full of excitement, this lovable angel loves settling down with his inner circle for some cozy downtime. 🛋️❤️ Carter is house-trained, knows basic manners, and is eager to keep learning new tricks! He's so socially savvy that he even mentors younger dogs, teaching them the ropes of polite play and confidence in the big world. Now, all Carter needs is a loving family to help him shine even brighter! What’s Carter dreaming of? A home with a spacious yard, a patient and loving family who understands that trust takes time, and someone excited to embrace life’s adventures—big or small!
