Meet Carl Fredricksen 🎩💙

11 years young | Mini Australian Shepherd
Adventure may be out there, but Carl’s favorite one these days is a cozy nap next to his person. 💤🐾
 
This gentle old soul has the heart of a seasoned explorer and the softness of your favorite grandpa. He’s calm, affectionate, and full of that quiet kind of love that sneaks up on you — the kind that makes you smile without even realizing it.
 
Carl enjoys leisurely strolls, gentle ear scratches, and curling up in his favorite spot where he can supervise the day’s activities (with minimal effort, of course). He’s house-trained, crate-trained, and gets along beautifully with both dogs andcats — a true gentleman through and through.
 
His past may have had some stormy skies, but Carl’s spirit? Still full of sunshine and gratitude. ☀️ Every tail wag feels like he’s saying, “Thanks for believing in me.”
 
If you’re looking for a loyal companion to share quiet mornings, cozy evenings, and endless heartwarming moments — Carl Fredricksen is ready to pack his suitcase (and his squeaky toy) for his greatest adventure yet: finding home. 🏡💫

Carl and Ellie found themselves at the shelter when their owner passed away, the shelter reached out to us, and we couldn't say no to two sweet seniors in need of a soft, quiet place to land.
