Meet Carter — a lovable Golden Retriever mix born around December 17, 2024, with a heart as big as his future size (expected to reach 85–90 lbs). Originally purchased from an online puppy mill, Carter was surrendered when the family’s child turned out to be allergic. Now safe with Joyful Rescues, this sweet, eager-to-please pup is ready to start his life the way it should’ve begun: with a loving, forever family.
Carter is affectionate, smart, and great with kids, cats, and dogs alike. He’ll need a fun, playful canine sibling in his new home, along with patient adopters ready to guide him through normal puppy training. Though he got carsick on his second-ever car ride, short trips will help him adjust. Carter is thriving in foster care and is ready to bond, learn, and grow.
