I'm Carleton! I'm ready to go to a new home where I can learn new things and meet new friends! I'm a real smart puppy; I'd be ready to go to college if I were a human! Since I'm a dog, I'll have to settle with going to dog training someday. I have a lot of energy and strength, and I love to be active and to play. Because of this, it would be fantastic for me to go on lots of walks or runs with my people and/or to have a yard to run around. I enjoy being around people, even though cuddling isn't my favorite. I'm also great with other dogs! I love watching and learning from the adult dog at my foster house.

Submit your application today; this puppy would love to meet their new roommates! Carleton and his siblings traveled here from Missouri, but now they're having a great time learning here in Minnesota! They'll be ready for move-in day on Feb. 21, when they turn 8 weeks old.
