My story

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

Are you lookin for a sweet senior who could teach a class on how to snuggle? A boy who is truly ageless and filled with unadulterated love of this world and everything in it? Hi, Im Carter, and Im that AND a bag of chips! My favorite place in the world is right by your side, soaking up all the love and pets youre willing to give. I have plenty of pep in my step and I really enjoy going for walks. I love taking in the sights, sounds, and smells of the world around me.<br/><br/>I came to Great Plains because I was found without an owner. I needed to have someone to care about me again. I was very unhappy after a few days, feeling the stress of too many animals and too much noise. So I got into a wonderful foster home with a foster dad that treats me like a king! We take walks together, cuddle together, play fetch together in the yard and do all the things that good dogs and their humans like to do. Im so lucky to have found my way to foster! Im housebroken, gentle, and such a friendly guy. And I have a tail that never stops wagging!<br/><br/>Ive got a calm, gentle nature and I walk like a pro on leash. Id be happiest in a home without cats, small dogs, or any little furry creatures. I like to take my time getting to know other dogs, so Ill need to meet any potential dog siblings first to make sure were a good match.<br/><br/>If youre looking for a loyal companion whos equal parts cuddle buddy and walking partner, Im just certain that Im your guy. Meet me!<br/><br/>Love from Carter<br/><br/>Featuring photos by Caley Clark Photography
