Published on Fri, Jul 3, 2026
Carl, a lovable 1-year-old American Pit Bull mix with a winning smile, is waiting patiently at Long Beach Animal Care Services.
At 79 pounds, Carl is a big, handsome boy with a sleek black coat accented by warm tan markings above his eyes and a bright white patch on his chest. His happy expression and wagging tail reflect the friendly personality that has made him a favorite among volunteers and staff.
Carl enjoys spending time with the people who care for him and is always eager for attention and affection. Whether he’s flashing his goofy grin or soaking up cuddles, this sweet pup is happiest when he’s with his humans.
Young and full of potential, Carl is ready to trade shelter life for a home of his own, where he can continue growing into the loyal companion he’s meant to be. With his affectionate nature and zest for life, Carl is hoping his next adventure will be with his forever family.
