My story

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

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.

If interested in adopting, read about our Adoption Process and complete an Adoption Application on the Mo-Kan website.  A Mo-Kan application must be filled out to begin the process.(Sending an "Inquiry" via Petfinder does not constitute an application.)
 



Charlie is a gorgeous purebred, red and white, female BC, 5 1/2 yrs old. She and her brother Copper, lived their entire life with their family. Circumstances changed, and they were welcomed to rescue.

Charlie is loving her foster brothers and sisters and loves to play. She is enthusiastic with chase, and wrestling games, and LOVES toys. She hasn’t shown much interest in a ball or frisbee. She is a moderate-high energy BC, needing an active home. She does have an nice off switch.

Charlie is sweet, gentle, and adores her humans adults, and kids. She wants to stick close and be with her people. She is learning, sit, down, and stay, and jumping on people isn’t acceptable. She is really a blank slate, treat motivated, and ready to learn everything!

She is smart, and so curious about everything, and will chew things she shouldn’t, or dig in the yard if bored. She is satisfied with appropriate chews, and plenty of exercise. Charlie will need a home without chickens or cats, she reportedly chased both in her previous home. She does have a strong prey drive and will need a secure fence, or an adopter that can keep her leashed  to keep her safe. She will need continued work on recall.

Charlie would love another playful dog, and a family that will include her in activities and adventures! She walks well on a loose leash, kennel trained, and mostly house trained.

**Charlie had 2 seizures after coming in to foster. A full vet check with blood work revealed that she is hypothyroid, or an underactive thyroid (the thyroid gland doesn’t produce enough thyroid hormone). It is easily treated with a daily, inexpensive medication, for her lifetime to keep her healthy and happy! She will need blood work with her yearly vet visits to maintain the appropriate dosage.

Charlie is spayed, fully vetted, chipped, on Heartworm, and Flea and Tick prevention. She is being fostered in the St Robert, Mo area.

Does she sound like the perfect addition to your family? Complete an adoption application on Mo-Kan's website for the opportunity to meet Charlie!
