More about Carter

MEET CARTER! This loving and playful Hound Dog is estimated to be 2 years old and weighs approximately 75 pounds. Having come from a rural area where he was used to living outside, he has adjusted quickly and loves being in his warm and comfy hound-loving foster home!   This big baby is just that; a puppy in a big dog's body. He doesn’t always realize his size or strength, and for that reason alone he should go to home without small humans in it. (For context, his foster family had 20 people over for Thanksgiving and after just a couple minutes he was loving on everyone. He was good with the kids, but he doesn't know not to run over them when they are in his way. He just doesn't think like that.) He has done so well with his foster canine brother and sisters, and they love to play and cuddle up after. Carter does want to play roughly, but he listens to his foster sibling when she corrects him like a mother dog would do. Carter is a typical hound and loves being part of a pack, whether it's canine or human. He is submissive and just wants to play and be loved. He would do well in a house with other dogs as long as they want to play. He would also do just fine as an only dog. (We also believe that he would do well with a cat, having been around them in the past.) He truly just wants to be with his person. He is a healthy and strong young dog that’s still working on his manners. He likes to use his paw to get your attention, for anything. And with him being so strong, that paw can hurt. His foster mom thinks he'll get there, but he definitely has the hound stubborn streak. This dapper-chap is both potty and crate trained. He needs bones or harder toys to chew and he does not like loud noises outside, such as gun shots, thunder, etc. He wants to go inside the house right away. Being a hound, his nose is king and he can tell when another animal - or snack - is near.  To sum him up, he is a lovable, sweet, strong, stubborn hound puppy who would be perfectly content to let you love on him all day.
