Carlito

Meet Carlito! This sweet boy has come a long way since his transfer to us from the San Diego Humane Society. When he first arrived, he was shy, frightened, and emaciated, so we knew we would have to take an extremely gentle approach. Carlito has since completed his weight gain and is happy and healthy! He has shown us how wild and silly he can be with his friends as they race around the play yards! While he can be a bit skittish at times, he allows us to give him gentle rubs, kisses, and will even close his eyes when we hit his favorite scritch spot: his chest and chin!

Ideal Home

Carlito needs a kind, gentle, patient, and quiet home that is understanding of his need to take new things slowly and at his pace. An escape-proof yard is a must for him to safely have fun, explore, and race around as he so loves to do!

Ongoing Health

Carlito is happy and healthy following his initial recovery.

Training & Support

Carlito is quite scared of the world outside of the rescue facility and enjoys the known, such as his routine and our staff. He is terrified of being harnessed, will alligator roll when he feels the resistance of a leash/lead, and will dart out of a door or escape route should the opportunity present itself. He also prefers not to be held as this feels constricting to him, but will gladly hop onto a trusted person's lap for gentle snuggles. He's a street survivor, and his small stature means he had to be fast, agile, and smart to survive.
