About

Meet Carter

Hi!  My name is Carter and me and lots of my friends are all looking for forever homes.  We are part of a rescue operation that resulted after we were originally taken in by a good samaritan when our owner threatened to dump us at a high kill shelter in rural Georgia.  The good samaritan originally planned on getting us cleaned up & finding homes for us but she quickly found herself overwhelmed, and then Hurricane Heleme came through which only made the situation worse.  She reached out to a small local rescue for help, who then reached out to the rescue community, and that's when BCAA stepped up and said they would help us ... yeah!  We all appear to have poodle mixed with some other small breeds such as malatese, bichon, yorkie and chihuahua.  Some folks might say we are "hypoallergenic dogs" but due to our unknown mixes, that would need to be tested with each one of us; however, whatever we are mixed with, our foster mom says we are super cute.  When we first came into foster, we had a lot of fleas which combined with our living conditions resulted in various stages of hair loss which BCAA is taking care of.  We are currently staying with a wonderful puppy foster family where we play with each other and several other foster dogs.  They also have a cat who is much bigger than us and doesn't play with us, and a little boy who we get to play with.  Our foster mom says we are typical sweet puppies who will need continued training and socialization to become the great adult dogs we are all on our way to becoming.  I am about 11 weeks old and weigh just over 5lbs.  It will take a while for all of us to get posted so if you might be interested in me or one of my friends, when filling out your application just make sure you put one of the "C" dogs or puppies under "dog interested in" (applications can be found at http://www.bcaaofnj.org and you don't need to fill out multiple applications).
