My name is Carl!

Meet Carl — Professional Snuggler, Food Enthusiast, Full-Time Couch Critic

Carl is a lovable 4-year-old Cavalier with a handsome ruddy coat and a little extra padding that only adds to his charm. While some dogs dream of agility courses or important “jobs,” Carl sees that as unnecessary stress. He has two clear missions in life: seek out delicious snacks and locate the comfiest spot in the house. Simple. Noble. Focused.

His favorite pastimes include snoozing on soft furniture, soaking up all forms of human attention—from belly rubs to gentle grooming—and repeating this cycle until mealtime magically arrives. Carl adores food… unless it’s a vegetable. He’s certain his foster mom once attempted to poison him by sneaking veggies into his kibble. Don’t worry—he outsmarted the system by eating around them and would still like to file a formal complaint.

If you’re looking for a low-energy companion who brings laughs, warmth, and a whole lot of cozy charm, Carl might just be your perfect match. He’s ready to trade his foster home for a forever one—with a comfy couch and absolutely no vegetables required.
