Meet Carrie!  Carrie is almost 14-pounds at 4-month-old. She is a Jack Russell mix who’s back with SAAP and looking for the forever family she deserves. While it’s never the ending we hope for, we’re excited to help her find the perfect match! She’s settling back into foster care beautifully. Carrie has already started making friends with the resident kitties, is a bit skeptical of the chaotic golden retriever, and has been a little shy—but incredibly sweet—with the kids. As she gets comfortable, we’re looking forward to watching her personality blossom. Like any puppy, Carrie is still learning all the basics. She’ll need a family that’s ready to help her with potty training, leash walking, basic manners, and all the fun adventures that come with raising a young pup. With patience, consistency, and lots of love, she’s sure to grow into an amazing companion. We’ll keep everyone updated as we learn more about this adorable girl, but one thing is already clear: Carrie is a lovable puppy who’s ready for a fresh start and a family to call her own. ?? Come meet Carrie. We have a feeling this sweet girl is going to steal some hearts! ??August 25, 2026, 4:19 pm
