Meet Carlo. His story almost ended before it truly began. At the shelter, he was labeled "offensive aggressive" due to the stress of kennel life leading to frantic and jumpy behavior. However, the real Carlo is far from aggressive. He’s a cuddly little bowling ball who has no grasp of personal space. When you sit down, congratulations—you’re now his furniture. Carlo adores belly rubs (and he’ll make sure you know it), believes every room should come equipped with a dog bed, and enjoys playing chase with his canine buddies. He’s been great with both dogs and people he meets on walks. Baths might not be his favorite, but he tolerates them well, standing patiently for drying off and allowing his paws to be handled. It seems Carlo comes with house manners already installed. He goes outside to do his business without any accidents and enjoys settling in at home. At night, he prefers to sleep close to his humans rather than be tucked away—after all, personal space isn’t for him. It breaks our hearts to think how close this affectionate goofball came to losing his life simply because he struggled in a stressful environment. Carlo is not an aggressive dog; he just needed someone to look beyond the kennel. Now, it’s your turn. If you're searching for a loyal sidekick and professional cuddle enthusiast, Carlo is here to show you that first impressions don’t always tell the whole story. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
