My story

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

Looking to add a bundle of joy to your home? Look no further than Carter, the 2 year old, 80-pound pup ready to fill your life with love and laughter! Carter’s been through professional training and has aced all his basic commands. He’s housebroken, crate-trained, and struts like a pro on a leash. No quirks here—he’s cool with toys, treats, and food and tolerates other dogs and even goats! This playful guy loves his toys, a good game of tug-of-war, and backyard adventures. And when it’s time to relax, he’s a certified couch cuddler—ready to snuggle up and keep you warm. Due to his strength, Carter is best in an adult only home and will need continued training as he matures. Check out his video for progress on his training. Carter is a true gem, eager to bring his warmth, loyalty, and fun-loving energy to a family ready to embrace him. Ready to make Carter part of your family?

Adoption application

Go meet their pets

Best Friend does not have a facility. Our cats are in foster homes and some of our dogs are in a boarding facility. We're in desperate need of foster homes! Please apply at www.bfdaaa.com if you're interested in adopting one of our pets or in fostering.
