About dogs named Carson

The following are 12 profiles of dogs named Carson from our database of 32 dogs with the name Carson.

• “Carson was adopted from Brandywine spca just About a year ago. He is a survivor of abuse and was a bait dog. He is roughly four years old. He’s the sweetest good boy. He has anxiety and is a Velcro dog if ever there was a Velcro dog. We are hoping getting him out and about will help with his anxiety.“

  — Dawn & Adam R.

• “I'm Carson - 10 years old but act like a puppy...which means I love running around, playing with toys, finding sticks, and swimming when I can! I love other dogs too!“

  — Robin L.

• “Carson here. I am a smart collie boy. I watch over everything, like a good herding dog. Sometimes, I even act as the play police if things get out of hand.“

  — Joyce J.

• “I’m a mini version of golden retriever. I miss my littermates. Loved running around on the grass. Learned to do zoomies in the condo. And mom has lots of toy time which helps“

  — Angelique M.

• “Mid-sized mutt who loves to run untethered, but has a wanderlust that requires decent fencing. Sweet boy. Gets along with dogs and cats, but isn’t a fan of kids or men (he is non-aggressive - prefers to leave their presence).“

  — Margaret A.

• “Hi my name is Carson! I’m 5 years old but mom and dad say I’m still a baby. I love to run, roll, and splash. I can’t wait to come play!“

  — Holly H.

• “I want outside…all the time. Run, chase (squirrels) , flush (birds), play (ball/frisbee), swim and ski!“

  — Peggy L.

• “I'm 10 and I'm excited to meet everyone. Once we meet, I'm usually on to the next thing...“

  — Rachel H.

• “He’s a rat terrier/chihuahua mix. He loves snuggles, running, anything with a squeaker(those toys sometimes only last minutes before a squeaker is ripped out 😬) and of course his favorite word is “Treat”!“

  — Megan P.

• “Carson is a 13ish year old pitty mix. He loves to lay on the bed all day in the best sunny spot. Or in the driveway when it’s warm out having “dirt dog” time….. and the occasional zoomie. He doesn’t really care for other dogs other than ours, and the same goes for people, so we usually let him do his thing and have his privacy.“

  — Kate W.

• “I'm Carson, a lab/shepherd mix with a sweet and intense personality. I'm very loud when I'm excited (barking, screeching, dolphin sounds). I'm crazy for fetching, especially in water!“

  — Grace C.

• “Carson is new to our at home zoo! He fit in so perfectly so quickly. He is confident and doesn’t seem to be afraid of anything. He’s been helping out his big sister to be more confident as well. He loves to chew on bones and chase balls. When he was really young, before he got to the rescue, he was hit by a car. Because of this his gait in the back legs is a little wonky, this does NOT slow him down at all :) He loves to give kisses and snuggle!“
