About Carbon Knight

Carbon Knight is that rare, big-hearted dog who would rather stick by your side than chase a ball. With a sleek charcoal coat and honey-colored eyes, Carbon looks like he’s made of midnight, but he’s all warmth and wiggle-butt greeting. He has a classic shepherd mix look – think soft velvet fur, impressively big ears, and the build of a gentle (but substantial) teddy bear. His foster family says he’s thriving with plenty of outdoor space and regular doses of affection. He’s polite at mealtimes, playful outside, and gentle with all the dogs in his foster group, but people are his real passion. Carbon practically glues himself to his favorite humans – he follows you from yard to porch to that softest spot on the carpet, just so he can be close. He fits easily into both apartment life and homes with yards, adapting as long as someone’s there to rub his belly and make him feel like part of the family. House trained and described as equal parts sweet, goofy, and loyal, Carbon wants nothing more than a warm spot beside you. He gets along well with other dogs, but his opinion on cats is still unknown, so a meet-and-greet might be in order there. Underneath his cloud-like exterior is a dog who simply wants a best friend to lean against and a household where affection is the main currency. Whether you need a feet warmer, a porch buddy, or a loyal shadow, Carbon’s ready to be the heart of your home. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
