Here's what the humans have to say about me:
CHARLIE’S STORY: Charlie was one of the 200 dogs, left in a large metal building by a presumed breeder, and confiscated by a Southern CA animal control. He was very frightened as he had not been socialized. Everything was a new experience for Charlie. He now enjoys human affection and will sometimes put his paw gently on your leg asking for gentle caress. Charlie is quite smart and quickly learned household routines. He comes readily when you call his name.
Charlie is a sturdy boy and weighs 14 ½ which is his adult weight. He enjoys running and playing with other small dogs in the yard. He likes going for car rides and walks nicely on a leash. Charlie is now enjoying life and his freedom to be a companion pet.
Charlie will be at the Petsmart in La Jolla Village Square this Saturday, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.
