My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

12/17/25 12:33 CA

Meet adorable Carlitos! A 2-year-old neutered Chocolate Kelpie mix bursting with energy and smarts. Carlitos enjoys going on as many walks and adventures you want to take him. He is an active dog who thrives on structure, routine, exercise, and mental challenges. Carlitos is a social butterfly that made many friends, both furry and human, at the shelter. He`s playful and adapts to the play style of his companions.
During his time in foster, we learned that Carlitos is house-broken, crate trained, spends most of the time in the yard, and frequently seeks for affection. He is also learning agility and fetch, which full fills his breed needs.

If you’re ready for an active, loyal buddy with tons of potential, Carlitos can’t wait to meet you. Email advocatessbcas@gmail.com for more information, his advocate would be happy to chat with you!
