Carlos
(Needs a Foster)

Dogs – Let's have a meet & greet
Cats – A cat-free home is best
Kids – Older kids (~10+) would be the best fit
Carlos is a German Shepherd with a lot of heart and a lot of comeback energy. When he arrived, Carlos needed serious care. He was very underweight and dealing with a painful skin condition, so our team got right to work helping him feel better. He's been gaining weight, healing, and slowly starting to look more like the handsome shepherd he was always meant to be.
Now that Carlos is feeling better, his personality is coming through. He's smart, energetic, and ready to learn! This is a dog who wants something to do, someone to work with, and a life that gives his busy shepherd brain a real job. Training with Carlos won't just be helpful, it could be really rewarding. He has that "teach me what you want and I'll try my heart out" kind of energy.
Carlos is looking for a cat-free home and would do best with kids around 10 and up. He'll need continued exercise and patience as he settles into home life, but there's so much good in this boy. He just needs someone willing to help him turn all that energy into something great.
Carlos still has some settling in to do, and he's more than ready for someone who will help him put that big shepherd brain to good use. If you're looking for an active dog who is eager to learn, Carlos would love to show you what he can do!

Not Quite Ready To Adopt?
You can make an immeasurable impact by opening your home and your heart to an animal in need. Fostering is a great opportunity to introduce a pet into your home without making a lifelong commitment. Many of our foster humans end up adopting their fostered animals, but many also choose to just provide the temporary shelter and love our animals need to get through a trying time.
