Carlos just wants to be your best friend. This 18-month-old golden retriever mix will follow you around like a shadow. Quiet, very loving, good with other dogs, Carlos hasn’t had much training but is smart and learns fast. He’s good with kids, and a great, mid-sized family dog. 

To adopt a pet, call or stop by the animal shelter across from the city’s Public Works Department off the Sterling Highway. The shelter is open from noon-5 p.m., Tuesday through Saturday. For more information, call 235-3141.
