Karter

3.5 years old, American Pit Bull Terrier

Karter is such a handsome lover boy. He is sweet, adorable, funny, smart, goofy, snuggly. This July he will have been here A YEAR. That is too long. Yeah, he needs to be the only pet in the home but he give you all the kisses and will fill your heart and home with so much love you wouldn’t need more than him! He is a lot of fun and will play nicely with you and a ball for as long as you let him. He is great at leaving it for you too. He knows a bunch of commands and works on them daily to keep his mind sharp. He loves his people and is fine with older kids that can handle his size since he is not a small guy. It does take him a little time to get used to new people but once he knows you he is wonderful. He is a snuggler too. He thinks he is a lap dog as most dogs do! Give him a chance and he will show you why he is worth it! Visit www.pawsadoption.org for more information about Karter and to fill out an adoption application.
