About Carl

Meet Carl, a distinguished older gentleman who was found wandering along Highway 299 in Douglas City. Now, he's eager for a loving home where he can enjoy his golden years. Carl is a neutered male Shepherd mix with a charming short coat. Despite needing to shed a few extra pounds, he maintains a playful spirit and has a special fondness for squeaky toys. Carl is dog-friendly, making him a potential companion for other pups. However, he requires some extra care, as he needs cruciate ligament surgery to address a knee injury. This procedure can be costly, which makes it a bit challenging for him to find a forever home. He doesn’t need a perfect situation; just someone who’s willing to give him a shot at a brighter future. If you're looking for a loyal friend and can commit to helping Carl through his healing journey, he would love to meet you. Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
