Carter - Maltipoo and Havanese Dog for Adoption in Houston, Texas

Meet Carter

NOTE: Carter is an "OUT OF TOWN PET" - meaning he is not at this location, but we do have transport here - more about transport below. Our Rescue is Houston, TX based and all our fosters and Rescue are in and around Houston.

Carter is a 10 week-old Maltipoo x Havanese maybe with some Yorkie (?) mix who currently weighs a whopping 6 lbs — and he’s proud of every ounce! With his silky coat, partial blue eyes, and confident little stance, this boy is as charming as he is cuddly.

He’s the most outgoing of his litter, first to the food bowl (which explains his extra two pounds!) and always ready for playtime. Carter loves toys, knows his name, and happily snuggles in your lap when it’s time to wind down. He’s crate-trained, working on potty skills, and gets along wonderfully with our adult dogs.

Estimated adult weight: 12–14 lbs — the perfect size for a lap companion who can still keep up on walks.

If you’re looking for a bright, affectionate pup who brings equal parts energy and sweetness, Carter’s your guy!

The Details:

Carter will be microchipped & has his age-appropriate vaccinations and will need to be neutered by his adopter before he is 1 year old. You will receive a $100 rebate once that is done. He would benefit from being adopted by a dog-loving person who understands he has so much to offer but will need a little time to adjust and settle in with his new family.

Understanding transport: Once everything is all approved, dogs are scheduled on transport using AJC Rescue & Transport (https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100083418067425). Transport means dogs are carefully and thoughtfully moved via scheduled air conditioned/heated vans from our doggy ranch in Fulshear, TX to a location near you. Each transport consists of a team of two drivers who can alternate. This is how we communicate in real time. The driver who is not driving, will be updating the group chat. You will be included in this group chat to track your dog through transport. You will also be given exact location and scheduled time of arrival. Our drivers do everything possible to run on-time however, things such as traffic, weather etc. can affect arrival time. You will updated regarding delays or possible early arrival. Keep in mind, dogs on transport stop for bathroom, walk and food breaks. For safety, all dogs are crated during transport.

We use what we think is the best dog transport service in the region and have for years - Andrea and her crew really offer first class transport!

The Havanese is a charming toy breed known for its lively and affectionate nature. Originating from Cuba, this small dog is characterized by its long, flowing coat, playful personality, and intelligence. Havanese dogs are adaptable to various living environments, making them well suited companions for both city dwellers and suburban families. They thrive on human companionship, excel in obedience training, and are often described as "velcro dogs" for their tendency to stick close to their owners. With a distinctive springy gait and a friendly disposition, the Havanese is an ideal choice for families seeking a loving and loyal canine companion.

The Maltipoo is an adorable hybrid dog breed that is a cross between a Maltese and a Poodle. These small dogs are known for their affectionate and playful nature, making them great companions for families and individuals alike. With their hypoallergenic coat and low shedding, Maltipoos are a popular choice for those with allergies. They thrive on human interaction and love to be the center of attention, making them excellent therapy dogs.
