She is super sweet and just wants to be near you. Carrie is learning how to play with toys and loves all dogs. She constantly gives her new foster family kisses and love to show them her gratitude!Story | Carrie was one of the 71 dogs saved from a hoarding situation on a school bus in Texas. She has a little weight to gain but is otherwise healthy. A bystander outside of Galveston, Texas, noticed loud noises coming from a school bus and camper in a state park. When support arrived, what they uncovered was a horrific animal hoarding situation, including 71 dogs in crates stacked to the celing and on top of one another. All of the dogs were emaciated, covered in their own feces, and very obviously not taken care of. More than 30 were taken to the Houston ASCPA for medical treatment. Sweet Elizabeth girl made her way to a MHLM foster in TX! Now she is living the good life, adjusting to a loving home, and can't wait to be a Colorado dog!Other Dogs | Carrie does well with other dogs! She is silly and sweet, but plays with excitement and joy. Cats | Carrie is doing great with the three cats in her foster's home! Children | Carrie loves teens and would do well with kiddos! She is an extremely gentle, loving girl. Training | She is potty trained, crate trained, quiet, and easy going! Leash | Walks well with some excitement. Activity Level | Moderate. She loves to spend her time playing with her foster dog siblings and is learning all about playing with toys now that she's in a loving foster home! She seems fairly calm so far given her young age.
