Story
Carlisle and his littermates were brought to us after they had been discovered under a mailbox in a cardboard box! At only 9 weeks old, these 6 sweethearts were christened the Twilight litter. All but sister Rosalie and Carlisle have found their forever homes. From the start, these guys were typical confident heeler puppies. Easy to train with lots of food and toy motivation, they were so much fun to observe as they all wrestled and played together. Carlisle was the biggest in the litter, and oh-so-handsome. This boy has always had a steady head on his shoulders, a good middle-ground combo of everything that makes up his siblings. Smart, playful, and spunky, but also grounded, cuddly, and calmer than the average heeler pup.Carlisle was able to attend a meet and greet event as a much younger puppy where he was very friendly with all the dogs we brought and was more than social and affectionate with all of the strange humans he got to meet too! When it was time for him to take a break in his crate, he was quiet, mannerly, and entertained himself by chewing his bone. Carlisle consistently displays friendliness to strangers and to the other dogs in the shelter. He's getting pretty good at his leash-walking skills, and he's so smart that all you have to do is hold a treat up in the air and he's sitting down, no words needed! He's getting much better at keeping a clean kennel. He likes to play with his sister and with staff, most recently enjoying playing with frisbees. Carlisle is smart, sweet, medium-sized dog nearing his 1st birthday. There's nothing that makes us sadder than knowing that he may spend it in the shelter without anyone of his own to celebrate it with. He has been overlooked so often despite his fantastic personality and his dashing, handsome looks. Carlisle really has it all; he just needs the chance to prove it. Could you be the one he's been looking for? Email adopt.ffaa@gmail.com with any questions about Carlisle, or pop in during our open hours to meet him!
