Cartier’s story is a profound testament to resilience and hope. Surrendered to a New York City shelter in September 2023, this dog endured her first four years confined to a cage, developing profound anxiety that profoundly impacted her emotional landscape, The Dodo reports.

Rescued by Rebound Hounds, Cartier found compassionate foster parents in Katy Brink, Editor-in-Chief of The Dodo, and her husband Collin. Katy, who personally understands the complex challenges of anxiety, immediately recognized the nuanced emotional world of this remarkable dog.

Currently looking for her forever home, Cartier is seeking an especially understanding adopter. Her ideal environment is a quiet, dog-free home where she can gradually build trust and feel completely safe. Despite her difficult past, she is making extraordinary progress. Through dedicated work with her foster family, she learned to stay calm on walks and consistently overcome her deep-rooted anxieties.

“Cardi would love a quiet home where she could share her routines and walks with her owner,” Katy says. “She’s an easygoing dog who just wants to relax in close proximity.” Her foster family emphasizes that while she struggles with multiple dogs, she’s not aggressive—just extremely cautious and sensitive.

Cartier is more than her anxiety. She’s a versatile, loving companion with a vibrant inner life. She loves kitchen zoomies, plays with toys while lying on her back, and becomes a devoted companion to her owners. Her personality shines through in moments of unexpected joy and deep connection.

Her unique qualities make her extraordinary: she’s intelligent, deeply empathetic, and incredibly resilient. She embraces both adventurous walks and quiet cuddles on the couch with equal enthusiasm. Her potential seems limitless—she just needs someone willing to see past her past and understand her true essence.

“The dogs that no one wants are the dogs that create the most joy,” Katy says, perfectly capturing Cartier’s transformative spirit.

After more than a year of waiting, Cartier is dreaming of a home where she can fully relax and be her authentic self. She’s looking for an adopter within driving distance of New York City who can offer her unwavering patience, deep understanding, and unconditional love.
