Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Carson came into rescue at about 9 weeks. Found stray and crying on the street by a good Samaritan, he quickly adjusted to life in foster care.
Sweet and calm, Carson loves to fetch every toy tossed. Definitely his retriever genes. Yet, Carson is calm and enjoys lap time. Note his Louisiana shaped mark on his chest.
He lives with older dogs, large and small and is very respectful.
Carson learned to sit in lesson one, using a training treat, so is very tranable, eager to please. Walks on lead in a harness well.
Carson is young and needs to complete his house and crate training. A family with a flexible schedule to accomodate this need would be awesome.
He has lots of love to give.
The ideal home for this Real Good Dog will have a secure fenced yard. A solid history of excellent vet care for current or previous pets is required. Preference will be given to applicants who have specific breed experience.
Please visit www.realgoodrescue.com to submit an electronic application if you are interested in adopting this or any other Real Good Dog.
We adopt dogs from Memphis Animal Shelter when we can. The shelter has an 83% euthanasia rate, one of the highest in the country. Unfortunately, any dog coming from Memphis Animal Shelter, and most other shelters for that matter, will have been in contact with contagious illness. Even though the dogs have been in foster care and appear to be in good health, they may become stressed when changing environments and exhibit signs and symptoms of illness. If you have other pets, they need to be up to date on vaccines before bringing a shelter dog into your home. We will take the adopted animal back, but we are not responsible for your other animal's vet care. We always disclose where the dogs have come from. Please ask for any information about the dogs and exercise due caution if you have immunocompromised animals.
