My personality

My story

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

HI - I'M CARTER, a sweet, loving and strong 4-year-old Doberman/Shepherd mix with so much love to give. I love humans and being around my person or people. I was originally rescued from a California shelter and am now in a foster home! I am house-trained and crate trained (I love my crate)

I love running, playing with my squeaky toys, going for walks and cuddling with humans. If you let me, I'll share your bed! I have an easygoing and funny personality, and am looking for someone to offer me a safe and comfortable home. I would do well with a fenced yard as I love to do the zoomies! I'm super smart and I learn quickly: I know the commands of "easy" (when I'm getting a treat), "stay" and I am learning to sit on command.

I'm very receptive to training and am food motivated and super smart! I'm good with some dogs but not others, but I learned quickly to be with horses in a respective way. I would thrive as an only dog, only because I love attention from humans so much!

I would also do well in an active, calm, family-oriented environment. I would do well with a single person, a couple or a family. I love kids, and would love to wrestle with teenagers! I can also be low energy as I love to lay around and relax, too.

I have a few areas where I'm a work in progress: I can pull on a leash during walks, and be protective of the home and my people.

Overall, I'm a wonderful dog with so much potential. I am a gentle giant who will thrive in a home where he’s given structure and consistent training. With lots of love and training, he will continue to improve and be an amazing companion. I weigh 68 lbs. I am currently in a foster home but may also need a new foster home soon.

More about this rescue

Freedom Ride Rescue Inc. is a volunteer-run 501(c)(3) nonprofit rescue organization that saves hundreds of dogs and cats annually. We are an all-breed rescue, and do not shy away from tough cases. We believe all animals deserve a chance at a happy life, and we do our best to match people with their new pets. Every time a dog is adopted, it makes room for another needy dog, most often in an overcrowded shelter.

We adopt dogs/cats to people on the West Coast but also to other states as well, as we believe that animal lovers are everywhere! Please consider adopting one of our wonderful dogs or cats.
