We're pleased to say that due to lots of love and attention from volunteers that Carlos has adjusted somewhat to shelter life. Because he is easy to handle out in the park he gets walked more than most shelter dogs. Carlos is somewhat overweight but has already lost some weight due to his increased physical acitivity. Volunteers who appreciate his calm demeanor outside the kennel enjoy strolling with him as he walks well on-leash. He will happily trot a bit with you too if you're so inclined. Carlos also loves to sit in the shade under a tree and receive bellyrubs and words of comfort. Such a refined pooch! It's also worth nothing that Carlos has an unusually sleek and glossy black coat.
It's quite eye-catching!
Carlos has been introduced to several shelter dogs and done fine. However, Carlos seems most interested in his human companions and will likely bond closely to someone who will give this dear sensitive boy a chance at a new life. He could make someone a great lifelong companion.
