My name is CARLTON!

Hubba Hubba, Big Time Luva! This stunning brindle is Carlton, and he is one of the most affectionate dogs you'll ever meet! He's big, but folks, he's a total cuddle bug at heart. Carlton's favorite thing in the entire world is to be with his people, and his next favorite is a stuffed toy. He relishes in completely burying himself in a pile of stuffies, it's really comical (and adorable) to watch! Carlton always gives us a good laugh, he is such a goofball.

While this sweet boy has spent most of his life in the shelter system, that certainly doesn't get him down. Every day he hopes to meet his forever person, patiently and quietly laying in his kennel just watching and waiting to be chosen. In the meantime, Carlton LOVES to spend his days romping in the play yards and exploring the trails with his favorite volunteers! Although he is so big and strong, he walks very nicely with his gentle-leader harness and he knows how to "heel." He also enjoys frequent outings and shelter breaks with our amazing foster families, and he absolutely thrives in a home environment! His foster mom tells us that Carlton is very calm, well-behaved, and has lovely house manners. Even though the home has 16+ acres for Carlton to roam, he much prefers to lay on the porch or curl up on his soft bed (surrounded by his stuffed toys, of course). This beautiful boy is also 100% housebroken, knows many basic commands, and he loves car rides!

Something to know about Carlton is that he gets very excitable around other dogs and animals. He also has NO idea how big and powerful he is, and his play style can be rough. We think he'll be safest and happiest as the only pet in his new home, and he will most definitely appreciate having all the human attention to himself! Carlton loves his people so deeply and so dearly, whoever is lucky enough to adopt him will be blessed with the most loyal and devoted best friend.
