Carter (aka Snicker-doodle) has his forever family! (Also on Doodle Rescue Collective)

[Libby D.]

It's official! We poured over an abundance of wonderful applications and finally narrowed it down to one perfect, forever family for Carter.

The best part of it is that the family is local, so Doris & I got to surprise them on Friday night with the news and most importantly, Carter!

We slapped a blue bow on the little guy, gathered some Carter look-alike cupcakes, and showed up on Ken & Beth's doorstep. They couldn't have been more excited to find out the news, and Carter made himself at home right away. Before we left, he had already discovered the fabulous back yard, a toy basket full of all kinds of toys, and his favorite part, the cabinet where they keep their dog treats!

Even though Carter will be an "only child" at home, Ken & Beth's granddog, Lexie, will be around to play with a lot. Ken & Beth's daughter, Robin, lives nearby, and she brings her dog Lexie to hang out at the house several times a week. Carter got to meet her on Friday night, too, and they got along great.

It was tough to say goodbye to the little snicker-doodle, Doris & I are both super happy that we found the perfect match for him!

Here are some adoption day pics:

Ready to meet his family!

That's great.  What adorable photos!  Carter is a doll - thanks for everything you did for this boy.

[Carol and Banjo]

OMD!   This is the kind of story that makes me smile the whole day long!  Ohhhh....and I must admit I'm a bit envious.....Carter seems to have wormed his way into my heart via the internet!!!!   A BIG hug to you and Doris for being perfect fosters!

[Doris, Knox & Flash]

Thanks, everyone, for your nice comments! Fostering Carter was so easy, but then again, he wasn't on the streets long. Someone loved him before and made him the lovable 'lil guy that he is today. Libby and I just kept him until his forever family could catch up to him!

I doubt that his new family will join DK. Carter is AS CUTE AS A DOODLE, but we really don't think he is one. His new family saw him one night when he was out with Libby and her DH. It was love-at-first-sight -- and they didn't care WHAT he was!

I'm so happy to hear this wonderful news.  Carter is one gorgeous Doodle....and a lucky guy.  Libby and Doris, thank you so much!

[Amy, Cubbie & Ollie]

YAY!!  Another happy ending.  I still can't get over how cute he is.  Carter is sure to get lots of attention when out on his walks around town!

[Sherri, Sophie, Winston, & Kitty]

So happy for little snickity-doodle. He is SOOO CUTE. I agree with karen, I could bite his whole head off. LOL. I can't get over it. I hope his new parents join DK and keep us updated! he looks so handsome with that bow. And those cupcakes are so great!

[Jane, Rooney & Stuart]

Oh my doodle - that little Carter is just beyond adorable!  What a happy family - love the photos!!!!  Thank you Doris and Libby for helping this little guy to find his forever family!!!!  Job well done.

I have been waiting for this blog. I have to say that Carter is one of the cutest dogs I have ever seen and I know how hard it must have been to let him go. Doris and you did an amazing job of rescuing and fostering him. Because of both of you, he is going to have a wonderful life. Thank you!! The cupcakes are adorable and all of the pictures are wonderful. The blue bow was perfect!! I would love to open my door and see Carter with a blue bow on the other side AND cupcakes :)

[Nicky, Riley & Boris]

Such terrific news, you two are wonderful.  Wishing the stunningly gorgeous Carter the most wonderfully happy life now he has found his forever home thanks to you.

[Doris, Knox & Flash]

You're welcome, Karen, lol!! You were my inspiration for entering this fostering world, so thank YOU! Libby and I are really a good pair -- while I tend to follow my heart, she uses her head! You've taught us that it takes both!!
