Please provide this pets current routine:l Charlie is taken to the park once
per day to run off leash he is more likely to do this once a day for about
an hour rather than a walk on leash as I have a dog park right beside me.
Charlie is fed at dinner time 5-6. He is taken to different parks on the
weekend to walk on leash or off leash. He is taken to visits at people's
homes on a regular basis about 2 times a week. Charlie has free range of
house and will sleep on the bed at night but is OK to sleep elsewhere.
Charlie loves attention and is usually up and alert following me around the
house with whatever it is I might be doing. Charlie is used to a lot of
different visitors my ten year old boy always has friends over who will
often take Charlie to the park and he gets along fine with everyone.



The best home for this pet would be : somewhere he can maintain an active
lifestyle as he has lots of energy and needs to be exercised daily.
Somewhere he can have lots of attention as he is always looking to be
involved. Daily walks, swims and running off leash will be important to
keep Charlie happy and healthy. I personally do not have a fenced yard but
people I visit with a fenced yard Charlie loves and loves to be outside.
Charlie needs lots of attention and love to keep him happy and healthy.


More to come as we learn / confirm this dogs needs.

We welcome your application for consideration .

*** HOW IT WORKS - ADOPTION INFORMATION ****
Please read ** ALL** the information provided below on the process to
save time and facilitate the process in a smooth manner.

The adoption fee does NOT cover the cost of vetting or supplies for these animals - If you cannot afford the adoption fee
(that is a fraction of actual REDUCED VETTING expenses incurred) then you should reconsider adopting.
These animals deserve forever homes, good food, regular vet care, and emergency care as needed.
Pets should never be euthanized by their owners simply based on financial consideration when something goes wrong.
