Meet Carlita (she also goes by Lita and Carly)! She’s a delicate 6-pound bundle of nerves. She believes the world is a suspicious place full of sudden noises, unpredictable movements, and worst of all, children. She has made it her life’s mission to avoid all three. Her daily routine includes: -Gracefully leaping away from invisible threats -Judging you from across the room like a tiny, anxious aristocrat -Nesting in blankets as if preparing for a long winter (year-round) -Offering affection on a strictly scheduled, invitation-only basis -Carrying her toys in her mouth and hiding in blankets. Carlita is looking for a calm, adult-only home where peace and quiet reign supreme. She does not vibe with kids. Their chaotic energy simply does not align with her refined, slightly panicked lifestyle. She would benefit having a family that understands a skittish dog and it will take time to adjust. Once you earn her trust, she will reward you with loyal companionship, soft cuddles, and the occasional perching on your shoulder to take a nap. We are currently looking for applicants within an hour away from Sanford, NC so Carlita can complete the rest of her vetting through Lending Paws a Hand. If you’re interested in adopting Carlita, an application can be completed at LPAH.org/adoption.
