My story

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

Hi, it’s nice to meet you. I’m Charlie. I don’t remember much of my previous life other than I had a litter of puppies--and I'm only 1 1/2 years old! The nice people at the shelter found me and then slowly nursed me back to a healthy weight since I was just skin and bones. Now I'm 47 lbs. However, my past doesn’t define me. In fact, the nice people at the shelter have described me as “small and docile.”



This is what my foster mom has to say about me: Charlie is a super sweet, gentle, girl who most prefers spending time with her people! She is great on walks and stays right by your side and doesn't pull. She only barks periodically and only if another dog is barking.



Charlie is very gentle with our 1-year-old daughter and would be great for a family with kids or another dog because she enjoys playing. She is a snuggler and gives kisses, knows how to sit, is treat-motivated, takes treats gently, and is housetrained.



Charlie has separation anxiety and we are currently working on the best methods to make her feel safe and comfortable when we leave the house. She would do best with someone who has previous dog experience, is home the majority of the time, and has the flexibility and patience to work with her so that she can be most comfortable in her new forever home!



Charlie will make a fabulous furry family member. She is perfect in every way and once she meets her forever person/people, as long as they give her unconditional love and support, she will bloom into an even more perfect version of herself!

Additional adoption info

The process to adopt/foster dogs and cats is different. Please speak to the volunteer assisting you in the adoption process to confirm details about the process.

Go meet their pets

We hold adoption events every weekend in the DC/Baltimore Metro Area and also schedule private meet and greets once a potential adopter/foster has applied for a specific dog or cat.
