My story

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

Name, age, breed: Charlie, 3 years, Mixed Breed

Likes: Loves pets, cuddles and playing with toys

Dislikes: Unknown

What would be the ideal home? Charlie requires an experienced owner who can provide consistent guidance and structure. Mandatory obedience training is essential to support continued growth and confidence. With high energy levels, she needs plenty of physical and mental stimulation daily. Due to nervousness, apartment living is not suitable—Charlie will thrive best in a calm, spacious home environment.

Good with other cats? No small animals

Good with dogs? May possibly live with a calm respectful dog that wont jump all over her, and is around the same size

Good with children? Charlie is suited for an adult only home

Temperament: Friendly, Nervous at first

Motivators? Toys and treats

Any commands? Sit

House trained? Unknown

Crate trained? Unknown

How long will it take to settle into a new environment? 3-3-3 rule: First 3 days - Your dog may be overwhelmed and may hide, have a lack of appetite, or test boundaries. Give them space and time to adjust in a quiet room with their bed, food, water, and toys. 3 weeks - Your dog may start to settle in and their personality will emerge. You can expect behavior issues to arise, so set boundaries and expectations with positive reinforcement training. 3 months - Your dog should be comfortable and acclimated to your home. They should know their routine and expect meals and enrichment at specific times.

Any special needs or traits an adopter should know? Charlie can be a nervous girl. She seems to do better towards women than men. She would need a very slow proper introduction to new people that will not rush to touch her and give her, and will give her space when needed.
