Rhett Has Been Adopted!
Hi my name is Carlisle Pudding, and I’m a super handsome, sweet, incredibly friendly, enthusiastic and energetic, 8 year old, male Black Lab mix! My tail never stops wagging because I am just about the happiest dog you will ever meet!!
I was found stray in KY and no one came to claim me at the shelter, which meant that I was facing euthanasia. The rescue folks think that I must have had owners that I really loved, because I love people so much, and I am very trusting and sweet. I’m well trained, too – perfectly housebroken and I am good at “sit” though maybe not when I am super excited to see you when you first come home! I also know “drop it” and I seem to know that I shouldn’t jump up on people, though sometimes I am so overjoyed to see you that I can’t resist giving you a bit of a “hug!”
I’m terrific with other dogs and am living so sweetly with a bunch of cats. Some of the cats like to cuddle with me on the couch and that’s just fine with me. Really not much phases me – though I sure like to bark at the deer out here! I pretty much love everything. I love my dog toys, I love to play fetch, I love to play with my foster sister dog, I love to meet new people, and I love to go for walks! Going for walks is probably my favorite thing. I have such a fantastic time finding sticks and bringing them to you so we can play fetch while we walk! I just love to run around and explore on a long leash (wait…maybe running around is my favorite thing! I get so excited when my foster parents take me for a real run!). I’m also incredibly well-mannered on leash despite my excitement about being out on a walk. I hardly ever pull when I get to the end of the leash, and I am really just quite polite all around! You sure wouldn’t know that I was a “senior” dog, considering how much I love to play and run.
Everyone that meets me thinks I am a puppy! But even though I kind of act like a puppy, I don’t do any of the annoying things that pups do. I almost never chew things in the house (how was I supposed to know that the package of Post-It notes wasn’t a toy for me?) and I seem to like hats and mittens as much as I like my toys – but I won’t seek them out if you put them away. Also, once play time is over I am happy to curl up on the couch or in a dog bed and just chill and cuddle. Oh yes, I love to cuddle! Wait! That’s probably my real #1 favorite thing! I love to jump up on the couch and put my head in my foster mom’s lap and fall asleep. I have the cutest snore ever!
I really love being with people, people are just the best. I might get a little sad if you leave me alone – I whine a bit at first when you go but I’m ok after a minute. I’d love a home where I got to be around people a lot!
Well I settled in very quickly and easily at my foster house and I am just plain happy to be here.
Please consider adopting me, I am a true perfect gentleman! If you want to apply for Rhett, please fill out an online adoption application and live close to Ithaca , Syracuse, Binghamton, or Elmira.
