Carl - Shih Tzu and Mixed Breed Dog for Adoption in New York, New York

Carl is a 6-year-old mixed breed weighing around 12 pounds, and he's currently figuring out this whole NYC thing. It's a lot for a little guy! He's a bit shy and still getting used to all the noise, people, and general commotion, but every day he gets a little braver and ventures a little farther.

Behind those initial nerves is a very sweet boy who's just looking for some reassurance while he finds his footing. Carl does well with other dogs, is house-trained, and is making progress exploring the city one walk at a time. He's looking for someone who won't rush him and will happily celebrate all those little victories as his confidence grows.
