Best Friends Animal Society recently sent out an adoption notice for Carter, this here Cream Dilute Shar Pei dog, on behalf of his foster angels, Chinese Shar Pei Rescue of Kansas City, Missouri. If Carter looks familiar, it’s because he is (or should be!) – we featured him on the KC Freecycle blog back in August! Carter is still available adoption; and, since this “differently-abled” guy needs a little extra help finding a family to call his own, this is the least I can do.

Well, wait. Not exactly. Best Friends has put together a cute little flyer that you can hang around town, on community billboards and such, in order to help Carter find his forever home. Please print out a few copies and hang them wherever dog lovers congregate!

Breed: Shar Pei

Location: Kansas City, MO

Sex: Male

Age: 1+ Year Old

Description: Carter is a purebred cream Shar Pei. He is a calm dog and very congenial. He likes other dogs and cats; he loves to play, chew bones and mimic the other dogs. The beautiful dog has neurological problems likely caused from brain damage at birth. He has been shuffled from home to home because of the care he needs which is mainly the need to be physically carried outside and carried inside. He can walk but it takes a while for him to get up and then his balance is shaky and awkward. He is best on carpet and rugs; loves to be outside on nice days. He is housetrained and will crawl to the door if he needs to go out. He deserves a loving home! A small rescue in Kansas City got him off Craigslist and hasn’t been able to find him a home. His foster mom can no longer keep him because of upcoming surgery and the difficulty she is having in carrying him. Please give this wonderful dog a chance at a good life. The love Carter will give someone will be the reward for caring for him. He is a sweetie.

Also, please bookmark and/or share dear Carter’s Petfinder listing.

Each Wednesday, the Kansas City Freecycle blog will feature one adoptable animal from a local KC rescue group or animal shelter.

We do this for several reasons:

- To highlight the plight of abused, neglected and/or homeless non-human animals in the Kansas City (and surrounding) area.

- To remind members of our no-animal policy, and provide an alternative venue for members who wish to adopt an unwanted animal companion.

- To encourage members to adopt a furry, feathered or scaled friend.

- To help out out local animal rescue groups and animal shelters, many of which are overwhelmed by the sheer number of animals in need.

- To illustrate these animals’ unique personalities and characteristics, thus underscoring the fact that they are not objects and should not be “freecycled”.
