About

Meet Carter

A SWEET & GENTLE SOUL:  Approx. 8 years old / Approx. 24 lbs.  Hi, my name’s Carter!  I came from animal control with another dog friend who has already been adopted, and I am so thankful that Mostly Mutts had a place for us.  I initially had a bit of a sad demeanor, but – with lots of care and attention from the nice volunteers and my foster, I have been opening up and am happy to be in a safe and loving place!  I’m now ready to find my very own family. • OTHER DOGS/CATS/KIDS:  I like the dogs in my foster home.  They were patient with me when I first arrived and did not insist I play with them. Now – as I have gotten to know them, we share napping spots, treats and I even sometimes initiate play after we all run some zoomies.  I’ll run towards one of the dogs to start a game, which does not bother the other dog at all.  I think I’d enjoy another friendly dog in my new home, so if you have a dog that sounds like he or she would like me, let’s meet! / I am friendly with the dog-friendly kitty in my foster home. I pretty much pay little attention to her, but occasionally say ‘hello’ with a gentle sniff.  I also haven’t chased her when we are all out together in our yard. / I’ve passed a couple of kids on my  walks and had a wagging tail, but haven’t officially met kids, so let’s meet and best no toddlers that I may bump over.      • PERSONALITY/ENERGY LEVEL:  It has taken me a little time to grow comfortable and gain confidence in my foster home, but – thanks to the patience of my foster and their gentle handling with me, I’ve really come out of my shell and am showing my true personality. I’m affectionate and generous with kisses and they say that I’m an absolute sweetheart who is active but also a lower key love bug! Though not very shy any longer in my foster home, I do still have a bit of a not-so-sure manner about myself and a submissive posture, so I’m looking for a gentle-natured family to continue showing me that I’m all good and in a great place. I also follow my foster around and can be a little bit of a tripping hazard if you don’t notice me down here.  I wouldn’t want to make anyone fall.  I find myself interested in things that aren’t always mine, so I’ll need you to help me learn what’s alright to chew on and what’s not. I think that so many things are new to me that I just want to pick them up, etc. I have a sweet ‘Beagley’ nature – curious and friendly. / My energy level is 4-6 now that I’ve settled in at my foster home.   • SKILLS/CRATE/POTTY:  I am learning the ‘sit’ command, as well as ‘place’ for going to my crate and ‘leave it’.  I’m a smart guy, and I’m sure you can teach me some other great doggie commands, too. My foster thinks that I feel so grateful for being rescued that I will show my gratitude by jumping up – so she is working on that with me. / In my foster home, I know to go into my crate for bedtime (with a treat reward, please) and I’ve kept it clean throughout the night, too.  If I need to go in the crate during the day, I’m sometimes more vocal and may make a louder Beagle baying noise, so it is best no apartment/condo type home for me. / I’m working on my potty manners and am taken out during the day frequently (every couple of hours) so I’ve only had a couple of pee accidents since being with them.  I should remain leashed on my potty outings in the yard, as I do try to eat my poo – which may be a habit I had as I did come in very skinny.  It’s getting better as I’ve gained weight and food is readily available to me, but it may take more training.  My foster is working with me on this using the ‘leave it’ command and rewarding with a treat.  • LIKES/DISLIKES:  I’m always happy to be with my people and I show them that with lots of tail wags, cuddles and lap time (though I don’t get on the furniture – but you can lift me up there).  I also like tummy rubs. I’m a destroyer of soft toys, so let’s find some sturdier toys for me. / I may need time to adjust in my new home, so please don’t rush me, and I will reward you with lots of love in return.  The vacuum scared me, but I should get used to it in time, and what was that cold white stuff that covered the ground in January? – I didn’t much care for it. LOL.  Otherwise, I’m sure I wouldn’t like it if I didn’t get enough love, attention, exercise, and training. • MEDICAL:  I'm current on vaccinations, micro-chipped and neutered. I have moderate tartar on my teeth, so my adoptive family should consult with their vet and consider a dental cleaning in the future.  I had a little fur loss on my ears when I arrived, but it’s growing back in nicely now.  I’m looking for a family that will treat me gently and will love me furever!  My adoption fee is $299.00, and I’m located in Kennesaw, Ga.
