** This is an Out Of Town listing. We transport to the city on this listing. Please apply at www.bit.ly/mu-adopt ** Meet Carlos! At just 2 months old, this Malinois/Mastiff mix is already proving that life is meant to be lived loudly, joyfully, and preferably with a toy in his mouth at all times. Carlos came to us from a home that was quickly overwhelmed after two unexpected litters of puppies were born in the same week—something that absolutely should have been prevented with spay/neuter. Sadly, in areas where resources are limited and dog fighting is a known concern, we couldn’t afford to wait. These 17 precious lives needed out, fast, and into safety, stability, and love. Now Carlos is exactly where he should be: safe in a foster home, learning the best parts of being a puppy. Full belly? Check. Cozy bed? Check. Humans who think he’s adorable no matter how many times he zooms through the room? Double check. He’s discovering that life is not about survival anymore—it’s about snuggles, playtime, and spectacularly dramatic puppy naps. And Carlos is thriving in his “play hard, sleep harder” era. He’s the first one to dive into fun, wrestling joyfully with his brother Jasper like every day is a championship match in Puppy Olympics. Then, just as quickly, he melts into a deep sleep like nothing in the world has ever been more exhausting than being this cute. He’s social, affectionate, and already shaping up to be one of those dogs people don’t forget—the kind with personality, presence, and a whole lot of heart behind those puppy eyes. Because of his Malinois and Mastiff mix, Carlos isn’t just a “cute puppy”—he’s a future powerhouse in a small, wiggly body. This breed mix means he will need an adopter who truly understands working breeds or is fully prepared to meet his physical exercise and mental stimulation needs. He’s not looking for a casual lifestyle—he’s looking for a teammate. Carlos does well with other dogs and is fine with patient, cat-savvy cats who don’t mind a curious little shadow. As a typical mouthy, bouncy puppy, he’d do best in a home with older or dog-savvy kids who understand that sharp little baby teeth come with the territory (and the giggles). He will be neutered in mid-May and ready for his forever home once he’s fully healed, and we are committed to finding him a family that doesn’t just want a dog—but is ready for a lifelong partnership built on structure, enrichment, patience, and love. If you’re the kind of person who sees a little chaos and thinks “perfect, I can work with that,” Carlos might just be your guy. Apply at the link below and tell us why you’re the match he’s been waiting for. And if Carlos isn’t the one who steals your heart first—don’t worry. He’s got a whole crew of equally irresistible siblings (ELEVEN to be exact), and we’re more than happy to help you find your perfect fit. ________ HOW TO APPLY TO ADOPT: Start by filling out our online application at www.bit.ly/mu-adopt Once submitted, we will reach out to approved applicants by phone.
