3/18/25 ///Volunteer Notes: Carlie (A559531) was my bestie for a Doggie Day Out. Wait! Is she really a tiger with her perfect brindle coloring? She`s been known to jump and twist like a dolphin in her kennel to grab your attention. So is she a dolphin? Nope! Sweet Carlie is definitely a dog who has been known to hunt only lizards in the yard. She did take time from hunting to enjoy her peanut butter enrichment and a fun walk around the neighborhood. I had the pleasure of observing a truly inspiring senior dog, whose energy levels rivaled those of a much younger dog! She delighted in playing fetch with the football and, when not resting beside you, pursued lizard-hunting with gusto. Her day was capped off perfectly with a scrumptious homemade custard cone from Andy`s and a pupcup. Come visit this amazing girl to discover the full extent of her sweetness and loving personality. Her foster parents perfectly captured her essence, describing her as `a level 4 clinger who only wants to be by your side`.
From her foster mom: Carlie is a sweetheart wrapped into a small package. She is a level 4 clinger and wants to be by your side all the time. She would prefer to be an only dog or at least your most affectionate dog. The only resource she is interested in guarding is affection. She will bully another dog away from you in order to have her favorite spot at your feet. That said, she will not bother another dog in the yard and has shown no interest in the cats. As long as she is right next to you. Although she may be older, she has the energy of a puppy and can run and play with the best of them. Please consider providing Carlie a human of her own in 2025.
