Story
Some dogs have a signature feature. Carrol Cutie apparently decided one wasn't enough. She has the mismatched eyes. She has the fluffy white tail. She has the adorable little underbite. She has the expressive face that somehow manages to communicate approximately 47 different emotions at any given moment. Put all of that together and you get a dog that is equal parts beautiful, hilarious, and ridiculously lovable. Trust us, one meeting with Carrol and you'll understand why everyone remembers her.

Carrol Cutie is approximately 3 years old, weighs around 40 lbs, and we believe she may be a Husky/Shiba Inu mix. With rescue it's always a mystery and we can never guarantee breed or age. What we do know is that she's as white as a little polar bear, has one icy blue eye, one beautiful caramel brown eye, and a fluffy white tail that perfectly completes the look.
As cute as she is, her personality might be our favorite thing about her. Carrol is happy, affectionate, playful, and full of life. She genuinely enjoys being around people and has a way of making herself part of whatever is going on. If friends come over, expect Carrol to make an appearance. If there's a family gathering, she'll likely be right in the middle of it. She has the type of personality that naturally draws people in. One of the things we love most about her is how much fun she is. This girl always seems to be in a good mood. She loves attention, loves being included, and has enough charm packed into her fluffy little body to keep everyone entertained. She's the kind of dog that makes you laugh without even trying.
Carrol is dog friendly and has done well with dogs her size as well as dogs smaller than her. She's not overly interested in having a full-time playmate and is often perfectly content doing her own thing or soaking up attention from her favorite humans. When she does decide to play, she likes to be the one to start the fun and tends to keep things lighthearted. She does best with dogs that have good social skills and understand that not every interaction needs to be a face-to-face wrestling match. If another dog gets a little too pushy, Carrol is comfortable communicating that she'd like a little space, but she's not looking for conflict. She's simply a girl who appreciates good manners. She would do well with another respectful dog in the home, but she would also be perfectly happy being your one and only spoiled princess.
When it comes to toys, Carrol is all in. Give this girl a toy and she's happy. She'll toss toys around by herself, entertain herself independently, or happily engage in a game of tug with her people. She doesn't need constant entertainment from others because she's perfectly capable of making her own fun.
Carrol is also a smart cookie. She loves treats, already knows how to sit, and is continuing to polish up her leash skills. She's eager to learn and enjoys working for snacks, which always makes training more enjoyable for everyone involved. She is crate trained, potty trained, and already has many of the basics down. What she needs now is a family that will continue providing structure, consistency, and boundaries so she can continue being the best version of herself.
While we think Carrol could adapt to a variety of homes, we believe she'd be happiest in a home with a backyard and a semi-active family. She enjoys having space to stretch her legs, play with her toys, and be involved in daily life. She's not looking for a marathon runner, but she would love a family that enjoys getting out and doing things together. And then there's that face. The underbite. The snaggletooth smile. The mismatched eyes. The endless expressions. Somehow Carrol manages to be stunning and goofy at the exact same time. It's a combination that shouldn't work, but somehow it absolutely does.
If you're looking for a dog with personality, affection, beauty, humor, and enough charm to become the star of every conversation, Carrol might just be your girl. We are willing to test Carrol Cutie with anything you need in order to ensure it's a perfect match. We can make anything happen! Just let us know.

https://g.co/kgs/UQ5Pyai We care deeply about creating lasting matches between dog and family for long term success, and take the time to ensure each adoption is a fit through our matchmaking process.
At our 2 acre Texas based property, we assess every animal with trainers on staff, we modify behavior as needed, and create individualized behavior plans to help prepare dogs for their future families including crate training, potty training, leash walking, etc. Our fosters are able to attend group training and socialization play groups helping them stay confident, well rounded, and adoption-ready. Our on-site trainers are dedicated to each dog’s growth and we enjoy seeing their progress!
We go above and beyond to ensure every animal receives exceptional care. Veterinarians consistently praise our medical standards. From routine care to advanced treatments, each dog receives personalized attention. Hard costs for a healthy dog range from $804-$920; heartworm-positive dogs or those needing specialized care can exceed $2,000+. Adoption fees help cover a portion of these expenses, but without government funding, we rely on fundraising to bridge the gap—ranging from $100–$1,000+ per dog.
Our adoption fees reflect the extensive care and resources that go into each animal we save. The adoption fee is a donation to the mission and goes far beyond getting a fully vetted pet.
