URGENT!

At the beginning of June 2025, a tree fell on the Haven where we house our rescue dogs. The Haven has been damaged beyond repair and demolition is being planned. As such, we need to have everything, along with our rescue dogs, removed by August 9th or 10th.

Carter is one of 3 rescue dogs currently being housed in the Haven. (Debbie and Roscoe are the other 2.) Rescue dogs housed at the animal hospital (Akuna and Izzy) take up most of our room, so fitting more dogs will be very difficult. We desperately need to have our rescue dogs find their perfect homes. We have a lot invested in our rescues and would rather they not have to stay in cramped quarters.

If you cannot adopt or foster Carter, PLEASE share his bio.

UPDATE:
Carter is still searching for his forever home. He has been nothing but patient, loving, and full of life — but now he urgently needs a home or foster due to the damage at the Haven. 

Carter is a 1-year-old Labrador/Pit-bull mix. This sweet boy is crate trained and does amazing on a leash! He is very well mannered and does great with other dogs and cats. He has shown us nothing but love here while at the rescue and he is waiting to show you how full of love he is.

He is full of energy and always ready for a good time. Wrestling with his doggy friends is one of his favorite activities, and he is great with dogs, cats, and people. He thrives on attention and loves to be the star of the show. If there is a treat involved, he will happily show off his perfect sit—he is a quick learner when it comes to tricks.

Carter did not have the easiest start in life. He was surrendered as a puppy, covered in fleas and dealing with intestinal parasites. But now, he is in great shape and ready to take on the world. His favorite parts of the day? Breakfast and dinner—he is definitely a foodie!

Carter has been given a clean bill of health! He is neutered and up to date on all of his vaccinations.

If you cannot adopt or foster Carter, please share his bio to help us find him the loving home he deserves.

Original Listing:

Carter is an adorable 9-week-old labrador/pit bull mix. He is full of energy and loves to play with anything and anyone around him. In a couple of weeks, he will have all of his necessary vaccines, but he will not be neutered for another couple of months. Until then, we are looking for someone to foster Carter temporarily, or foster-to-adopt Carter until he is neutered and, after that, he would be ready to be officially adopted. 

Carter was surrendered to the rescue by himself full of intestinal parasites and covered in fleas. We have taken care of the fleas and worms and now we need to find him a home! He is an incredibly sweet puppy who would thrive in a family dedicated to raising a puppy. His favorite pastimes are playing with stuffed animals, taking naps in comfy beds and waiting until the next mealtime. 

Carter has been given a clean bill of health. If you would like to foster or adopt Carter, email us at info@colbertvetrescue.org. If you would like to donate towards his medical care, our Venmo is @colbert-vetrescue.
