My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Charlie is very sweet. He was born on 02/21/16 and he always been with me. He is very friendly with kids, adults, and other pets. He has long hair and requires extra time for brushing and bathing. I learned how to do it by myself. He can be alone for some eight hours while you go to work, but not much more. His ideal family would be one that can give him a lot of time and attention and have experience with long hair dogs. He is used to be around cats, but I am more concerned that the cats might hurt him since he will bark to them at the beginning. The same for dogs.

The transition to a new home will be stressful to him and he will likely bark and cry for a few days. You need to be patient and wait until he gets used to the new home.

Because he is a small dog, he does not go with you for long walks, a 10 minutes around the block is plenty for him.

He is current on vaccines. Recently, his skin got hot spots due to excessive scratching, but he is fine now.
