Carter von Castell is a stunning 1-2 year old Shepherd mix. This medium-sized pup might be the closest you’ll ever get to petting a black bear. And unlike bears, he wants you to pet him — please! His outer beauty is only matched by his inner beauty. To meet Carter is to fall in love, he is such a charmer. On and off-leash, he enjoys mingling, walking, and greeting people and dogs  (but would like to keep cats and guinea pigs off the guest list, please). As he keeps working on his basic commands, this medium-energy fellow passed his “sit” test with flying colors and takes treats like a true gentleman. Carter was hoping to go exploring today (and also tomorrow and every day after that). He’s looking for his very own people to love. He might look like a storm cloud, but he is pure sunshine — is he your silver lining? Come say hi and find out!
