Carter is a striking Mini Australian Shepherd ready to find his forever home. At 3 years old, he weighs 35 lbs and embodies all the charm of his breed. He thrives in a crate, using it for daily naps while learning to enjoy some independent downtime. Carter's response to his PLACE command shows his growing maturity. He's good with other dogs and brings a playful energy that is hard to resist. However, he does have a bossy streak, making it essential for his new owner to maintain structure and leadership. He requires daily walks, continued training, and regular crate time. Carter is not suited for a family with children, as he tends to nip when he feels pushy. He needs a confident owner who can commit to his training needs while offering him adventure and a routine. This active and intelligent companion is eager to learn and be part of an engaging lifestyle. Carter has the potential to shine in the right environment. He truly deserves a home that understands his needs and is ready for an adventure together. Click apply to start the adoption process.
