Here's what the humans have to say about me:
***Carl is NOT in the direct care of Happy Tails Happy Homes. His owner needs to rehome him and we are assisting in that process. If you are interested in Carl, please apply at https://www.happytailshappyhomes.org/adoptionform ***
Meet Carl
Carl is a smart, loyal, and mellow 5-year-old mixed breed (Australian Cattle Dog, Australian Shepherd, and Mastiff) who forms a strong bond with his people. He’s a healthy 70-lb boy who’s calm for his breed mix and happiest when he’s walking, traveling, or simply hanging out close to his humans.
Carl enjoys spending time outdoors in a fenced yard and going for walks of up to two miles. He’s not a fan of long hikes or hot weather and is perfectly content to relax at home for most of the day. He sleeps in the bedroom (but not on the bed) and does well being left alone when his owners are away—though he especially loves going for car rides together.
Carl is friendly and affectionate when approached calmly, though he can be startled if someone moves toward him too quickly. He’s protective of his home, especially the front door, and makes an excellent watch dog. He’s also great at keeping wild animals like raccoons out of the yard—helping keep the family’s rabbits and chickens safe from predators.
While Carl can be reactive toward other dogs, especially large males, he’s made great progress with training and now sits quietly as other dogs pass on the trail. He gets along well with cats and lived peacefully with an older female cattle dog who recently passed away.
Carl would do best in an adult home with people who have experience understanding dog behavior and are willing to continue the gentle, consistent approach that’s helped him thrive. He’s not suited for homes with small children.
His current family loves Carl deeply and has cared for him with devotion. They are rehoming him only due to allergies and would love to stay connected—offering to help care for Carl when his new owners travel.
Carl is an incredibly loving and loyal companion who will bring joy, protection, and warmth to the right home.
