Carlos Tres, STAR # 1603

Carlos has been adopted by the Bentz family.. This is their third STAR dog after Ace 2012 and Lexi 2014..One thing we know is that he will be well loved.. Thanks to Ellen for picking up Carlos and to Tiffani and Ruben for fostering and semi-taming him STAR does have amazing volunteers..

Carlos was found running loose in New Caney several months ago.. He has been in his foster home for the last month being evaluated and smoothing out the rough edges.. This is what his foster mom says about Carlos..

Here’s a 4 week update on cutie Mr. Carlos.

“Am I doing it right?”

Carlos is a curious puppy who is ready to learn! He is easily redirected & somewhat sensitive.

Indoors he loves to play and can entertain himself with a toy, but has shown he prefers to stay with the pack and play with the pack. When humans are on the sofa, he likes to sit near and will use his long puppy legs, cute eyes and spongey puppy body to coerce affection and mild sofa play. He likes to play tug with other house pups, and will sometimes use creativity in locating other items to use as toys (toilet paper, deck of cards, empty water bottles!)

Outdoors (backyard) he loves to run and play with other pups. He likes toy ‘keep away’ the most.

Carlos is crate-trained. After a long day of supervising the human’s work, and backyard playtime, Carlos goes into his crate easily with his nighttime ice cube. He sleeps in his crate quietly all night. We actually don’t think he “needs” to be in his crate all night, but we have done that consistently so he gets a full nights rest, and the humans and house pups do too. (For humans that work from home, Carlos also does well with scheduled rest periods. He is a busy-body.)
