Story
Meet Carter. This scruffy little guy came from an owner who was not properly caring for him. He was crated in the garage for several months after his owner had a new baby and thankfully a family member became concerned for his welfare and reached out to Worthy Dog for help. We know he’s going to be a popular pup and the best is yet to come for him. Carter is now in a foster home with a mom, a teen son, and two dogs. He does well as part of a pack but is best paired with an active pup with a similar passion for play. Carter was anxious when he first arrived, which is understandable coming from living in isolation, but after some time to settle in he is now a more relaxed pup and his cute, happy personality is shining through. While he’s still an active and playful pup, he also appreciates chill time. He ends each evening curled up with his foster mom on the couch watching TV. Carter is crate-trained and sleeps all night in the crate without a peep. His foster mom works from home so she doesn’t use it much during the day but will crate him if she leaves for any extended period. Carter has done well with potty training once he figured out the routine. He never has accidents in his crate and will need more frequent potty breaks when he’s in a new home environment. Carter loves to go on walks and his foster mom practices with him daily. He will still bark at dogs sometimes, but he does not react to people, runners, or bikers, so his leash skills have improved but are a work in progress. This active and playful boy needs an owner who understands the Terrier breed. He needs someone to give him structure and routine and be committed to his daily walks and playtime. Carter is passionate about life and is best paired with a fun, active family, and another playful pup in the home would be ideal, but not required — he’s confident enough to be an only dog. This cutie is sure to add a little energy to your home and entertain you. He’ll be coming to the DC metro area in October. Apply today!
