Hi guys! My name is Charlie! I am a little dude who is ready to go. I have people to see, things to smell, toys to play with. I am a 1-year-old, neutered male mutt who is very handsome. I weigh only 46 lbs and I'm full grown. I am friendly with people and have a sweet, funny personality. I even give kisses. I love to play with people and with toys. I came to the shelter because no one ever bothered to teach me anything. The nice volunteers here are teaching me all the great things that every dog should know. I would like to continue my training when I get sprung from the shelter. It's a bonding experience and I'll continue learning. I love to take walks and to even go for the occasional jog or a good romp and run in the yard. I like to be petted and loved too. If you're looking for an active dog to invest time and love in, then you must meet Charlie. Adoption fee: $75. Adopt a pair: $115. Fee includes testing, deworming, vaccinations, spay/neuter, 60 days of free pet insurance and microchip.

I live at the Oakland County Animal Control and Pet Adoption Center at 1700 Brown Rd in Auburn Hills. You can visit me there any time the shelter is open. The shelter will not put me up for adoption because of my appearance, so my only way out of the shelter alive is through a rescue.

NOTE ABOUT BREED LABELING: Visual breed identification of dogs is unreliable and usually inaccurate. So, for most of our adoptable dogs, we are only guessing at predominant breed or breed mix. We get to know each dog
as an individual and will do our best to describe each of our dogs based on personality, not by breed label.
Why is labeling a dog such a big deal? A label will stick with a dog for the rest of its life. A label can mean discrimination, losing its home or even death. Labels are a problem for the dogs when we, as the local experts on animals, allow adopters, politicians and community members to think that the label we assign can predict who that dog is or will be.

Adoption Process: Complete the application at
www.pawsforliferescue.org. We then arrange a location, date and time for you to meet some pets. If the meeting goes well and everyone is happy, you begin the mandatory, minimum two-week adjustment period with the pet as part of your family. You will pay the non-refundable adoption fee at the start of the two-week adjustment period. This pending period allows your new dog or cat time to adjust to their new home, new people, new routine, etc., and for you to decide if it's a match and the right pet for you. At the end of two weeks (some people extend the adjustment time as needed and that's fine too), if everyone is happy, then we finalize the adoption. Feel free to email if you have any questions.
