CARL NEEDS A FOSTER OR FOREVER HOME!!!!
Name: Carl Best Guess for Breed: Shepherd mix

Best Guess for Age: 2 years as of May 2026 SEX: Male

Approximate Weight: 34 lbs

Gets Along With: Other dogs! We haven't seen him with cats or kids but we are happy to discuss integration techniques with any potential adopters!

Currently Living at: South Carolina shelter - needs a foster or forever home in the DC area to get up here.

Special adoption considerations: Carl is a truly Lucky Dog. He tested positive for heartworms, but landed in a place where heartworm treatment is provided! Heartworm is not contagious to people or other pets, but results from mosquito bites. Heartworm, if left untreated, is life threatening, but after treatment, dogs that were heartworm positive should suffer no significant long-term effects so long as they are kept on a monthly heartworm preventative. Heartworm dogs can resume full active and normal lives, but need to be kept calm for 4-6 weeks after treatment. We are happy to discuss where in the treatment process this Lucky Dog is in right now! Just email the adoption coordinator - the address is at lower left!
Carl is Looking For: His forever home! This handsome boy landed in the shelter through no fault of his own. Now he's looking for his own humans to trot alongside on those sniffy walks and adventures - he's in his prime young adult years and wants to burn all that awesome dog energy! Making new pup pals along and having plenty of opportunity to run and play is on his wish list along with quality kibble and a cushy dog bed. But above all he wants to know where he belongs, to be under his own roof, to be safe and loved. In exchange, he promises adoring gazes and loyal companionship for all his days. What do you say? Can you see him by your side?What My Foster Says About Me: We will update this once he has spent time in foster care.

Lucky Dog cannot guarantee any dog is housebroken. All of our dogs are working on their crate training.
