INTRODUCING : Carter
DOB : 14 October 2018
LOCATION : Levin Kennel Base – Ready for Adoption Now

SHOWCASE WEEK 5– Here comes Carter

Carter is a playful 6-year-old black male Greyhound who’s always ready for an adventure! Full of life and energy, he’s eager to go anywhere and everywhere with his new family.
While Carter can be a bit excitable when first coming out of his unit, he settles down quickly and becomes very manageable on lead. His playful personality shines through as he often initiates games with other dogs by giving an enthusiastic play bow.

Carter has one important rule: his undercarriage is a no-go zone! If a smaller dog gets under his feet, he may give a little grumble but will remove himself from the situation instead of escalating. Despite this quirk, he enjoys the company of other dogs and thrives in social interactions.
If you’re looking for a fun-loving, energetic companion with a big heart and an even bigger personality, Carter is your guy!

📍 Come meet Carter today—he’s ready to bring joy and laughter to your life!
If you think Carter might just be the boy for you or you would like more information on him or any of our other dogs feel free to get in touch on the details below

SHOWCASE WEEK 5, Fear of Missing out!

Meet Darwin: A Spirited and Strong-Willed Companion

Darwin is a 6-year-old black female Greyhound with a bold personality and a touch of FOMO (Fear of Missing Out).
