Carsten was only 4 weeks old when he was rescued from an abandoned automobile. Carsten and his nine siblings would often seek the safety of a hole in a wall near the broken down car. Pup Squad Rescue pulled the puppies out of the hole one by one, placed them in a foster home, and were nursed back to health. Poor Carsten would attend adoption events, and was somehow over looked each time. He had to endure watching all nine siblings find their forever homes, while the little black dog was left behind.
The now 16 month old black lab mix has been given a New Leash on Life. It was bittersweet last week, when Meadowlake Pet Resort had to say good bye to Carsten from Pup Squad Rescue. During his stay, Carsten learned some basic obedience skills that would increase his chances of being adopted including breaking a barking habit that would turn away potential adopters at Pup Squad adoption events. His 30 days of free training and boarding had come to an end, and he was ready to show off his new manners to potential adopters. This past Saturday his good manners and basic obedience caught the eye of a potential forever family. They are taking him home this week to see how he gets along with the family of five and their pets. Could this be Carsten's new owners? Pup Squad Rescue and Meadowlake Pet Resort hope so and wish Carsten the best of luck!
