Carleton Pit Bull Terrier Adult Male

Location:

Asheville, NC

Description:

Carleton got to spend some time with one of our staff members! Here is what she has to say about their time together: "Y'all, meet Carleton! This pup is SO sweet, and SO squishy, and I have no idea why here is still here with us waiting on a home. Carleton came to us in February looking ROUGH. Skin issues, hind end weakness, and awful goopy/irritated eyes. We quickly realized his weakness was due to an old left limb patellar injury, but with simple joint supplements and some pain meds he gets around just fine! A special diet has helped his food allergies (suspected to be causing the skin issues). Plus, we were also able to do entropion surgery on both eyes, offering Carleton some much-needed relief! Entropion is a genetic condition that causes the eyelid to roll inward, irritating their eyes 24/7. Ick. He spent a little while in my office with me today and was absolutely amazing. Carleton climbed up in my chair and happily hung out while I worked, coming over now and then for pets and butt scratches (he LOVES butt scratches). He is the perfect mix of active and chill. If you're looking for a pup who is always down to hop in the car and go for a walk/hike, knows no strangers, and also knows how to take a solid nap on a rainy day, Carleton is your dude!!! He's done well in our playgroups here, mostly just hanging out and acting aloof. He does need to be fed separately from other dogs, but we always recommend that anyways because, well, you just never know! He also is mostly housetrained, according to his foster family. He only had one accident. This pup will make such an excellent buddy for someone!!" Carleton has been groomed by our volunteer groomer while he's been with us. Here is what she has to say about their time together: "I'm giving Carleton medicated baths to help with some skin issues, which are healing nicely. Carleton comes to the front of his doggie condo wagging his tail and happy to see me. He easily lets me slip the leash over his head and walks nicely to the grooming room. He is very trusting, makes lots of soft eye contact, lets me touch him anywhere on his body and gently lift him into the tub. He seems to enjoy the extra attention and petting. He seems like a nice dog, and he is making strides every day in adjusting to the hectic shelter environment. A stable home with a family to love would make Carleton very happy!!" Carleton got to go on an Urban Tails outing! Here is what the volunteer who took him out has to say about their time together: "Carleton did great on his outing. He jumped right in the car and sat quietly. He was very sweet and excited to meet both humans and dogs, although he didn't get close enough to see exactly how he'd behave. He loved smelling the smells and seemed like a great pup!"
