About Carl

Meet Carl! This incredible pup brings endless joy to everyone at the shelter with his goofy antics. The sparkle in his eyes is hard to resist! Carl is likely a mix of Akita, known for their loyalty, and Husky, which adds a playful spirit. He thrives on adventure and loves to play, getting along well with both people and other dogs.
