Story
Hi! I'm Carrie, a 1 year-old Labradoodle weighing 40 pounds! I’m a bright, bouncy girl with plenty of puppy enthusiasm and a heart full of love. I’m always eager to explore, play, and make new friends, and my silly personality is sure to keep you entertained. While I can be a little unsure of certain people and situations, once I feel safe and comfortable, my affectionate personality really shines! If you’re looking for a fun and loving companion to share life’s adventures with, I could be the girl for you—and yes, just like my namesake, I’m always ready for a little adventure!
Favorite Things: Carrie absolutely adores the people she trusts and wants to be wherever the action is! She has a blast playing and wrestling with other dogs, especially pups who enjoy an energetic play session. Once she’s had her fill of fun, Carrie is perfectly content curling up beside her person and soaking up some one-on-one affection.
Training and Manners: Like any young pup, Carrie is still learning what it means to be a well-mannered member of the family. She has been working with a trainer on leash confidence, housetraining, household manners, and basic obedience. Carrie can be fearful of men and will need a family who understands that building trust takes time, patience, and positive experiences. She should never be forced into interactions that make her uncomfortable. Carrie is a smart girl who picks things up readily, and with consistent guidance and continued training, she has wonderful potential to blossom into a confident, well-adjusted companion.
Health and Care: Carrie is a healthy young dog who is spayed, microchipped, and current on all of her vaccines. Her Labradoodle coat will require regular brushing as well as professional grooming appointments to keep her looking and feeling her best. Potential adopters should be comfortable with the ongoing time and expense associated with maintaining a Labradoodle’s coat.
Other Animals: Carrie enjoys the company of other dogs and especially loves canine playmates who are ready to match her youthful energy. She would likely appreciate having a playful dog friend in her forever home. Carrie has not been introduced to cats, so her behavior around feline companions is currently unknown.
Children: Carrie is an affectionate, energetic girl once she feels comfortable with her surroundings. Because she is still learning appropriate boundaries and can be cautious around unfamiliar people, she would do best with children who understand how to respect a dog's space and allow her to approach interactions at her own pace. Her puppy enthusiasm also means she may unintentionally knock over smaller children during play.
Ideal Home: Carrie will need a single-family home because she can be quite vocal when left alone, so a home where this can be managed appropriately would be best. Her family should be experienced with dogs and prepared to patiently guide her through her puppy behaviors. She needs a family who is ready to put in the time, effort, and consistency necessary to help her thrive.
Carrie is also fearful of men, so her ideal family will need to be understanding of her sensitivities and committed to helping her build confidence at her own pace. A quieter, predictable environment with patient, dog-experienced adopters would be especially beneficial. Her future family must be willing to continue the training she has already started, provide structure and consistency, and understand that earning her trust is part of the journey. Carrie has so much love to give, but she needs a family willing to meet her where she is and help her feel safe.
Overall: Carrie is an energetic, affectionate, and clever young pup with so much potential! Beneath her bouncy personality is a girl who is still learning that the world can be a safe and wonderful place. She loves canine companionship, enjoys being close to her trusted humans, and is eager to learn and explore. Her perfect family won't expect perfection overnight but will celebrate her progress, respect her boundaries, and give her the time and reassurance she needs to thrive. With the right home, and plenty of patience, Carrie could be the perfect addition to your life!
