My story

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

Meet Charlie Brown — Your New Best Friend in the Making!

Charlie Brown is an incredibly sweet Lab mix born on October 4, 2025. At just about 8 weeks old and weighing around 10 pounds, he’s already showing everyone what a loving, easygoing companion he’ll grow up to be.

Charlie Brown has a warm, gentle temperament and is wonderfully cuddly. He enjoys children, gets along beautifully with other dogs, and in his foster home he’s been very respectful of the older resident dog—giving her space when needed and picking up on social cues quickly.

He's also off to a great start with his training:

House training: Doing really well, with consistent success going outside

Leash walking: Already walking nicely on a leash

Sleeping through the night: He can go 7–8 hours overnight without accidents

Daily rhythm: Mornings full of walks and breakfast, two solid nap blocks, afternoon strolls, playtime, and an evening “witching hour” where he loves to romp and chew toys before settling in for bedtime after a good long walk

This little guy is affectionate, adaptable, and full of heart — the kind of puppy who wins you over instantly.

How Big Will Charlie Brown Get?

The honest answer: we can’t know for sure! But here’s a reasonable estimate based on what we do know.

At 10 lbs at 8 weeks, he’s tracking in a range that often grows into the medium-to-large adult size category.

Many Lab mixes at this weight and age tend to land somewhere around 45–65 pounds as adults, depending on genetics.

So, we can comfortably say he’ll most likely be a medium-to-large dog— big enough for adventures, but still the perfect size for couch snuggles.

Charlie Brown is adorable, loving, and ready to steal your heart. If you’d like to learn more about him or meet this sweet boy in person, put in a meet and greet application ASAP to get to know this truly special pup.

Adoption Day: December 20th at PetSmart Tysons Corner from 10:00–11:00 AM, an approved adopter must be present to adopt.

Some pups may be part of the public event—check our Facebook page closer to the date to see if this pup will be attending the extra fun!

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

Adoption information and applications can be found here: https://www.wtarescue.com/adoption-process-2

If you are chosen to adopt after the Meet & Greet process (https://www.wtarescue.com/meet-and-greets), be aware that all of our pets stay in foster care for a minimum of 3 weeks, and adoption finalization and Transfer Day will take place at the end of that foster period.

What are the requirements to adopt? There are no situational requirements other than that your current pet/pets need to be up-to-date on their vaccinations, as well as spay/neutered. This demonstrates responsible pet ownership.
Adopters must submit proof of visit with a veterinarian within 14 days of adoption.
If an adopted puppy is under 4 months of age, you must be in a situation where the puppy is not left unattended for >5 hours at a time.

Do you require home visits? No. Potential adopters are screened by their application, interviews by the foster, and the requirement of a Veterinary visit within 14 days. If you do not submit proof of a veterinary health visit within 14 days of adoption, your ownership of the animal is forfeited back to Wolf Trap Animal Rescue.

How can I see pictures of the puppies available? You can view them on our website at https://www.wtarescue.com/adopt-a-dog or https://www.wtarescue.com/adopt-a-cat.

How much is the adoption fee? The current adoption fee for puppies (under 2 years old) is $525. For adult dogs (over 2 years old), the fee is $485. The adoption fee for cats/kittens is $225. Adoption fees are payable by credit card only. This fee covers the cost of spay/neuter, vaccinations, microchip, deworming, flea/tick control, transport, food, and foster supplies - and it includes 30 days of pet insurance upon immediate activation.

More about this rescue

Wolf Trap Animal Rescue (WTAR) focuses efforts on rescuing high-risk animals from euthanasia, neglect, and abuse. These animals primarily come from Mississippi, where young animals are euthanized by the hundreds each and every day due to overpopulation. Lack of spay-neuter laws and large sections of rural land allow for free-roaming animals to reproduce, leading to a surplus of neglected, homeless, and starving puppies and kittens. These animals are then found and brought to local animal shelters, which simply cannot provide the care or homes these pets need in order to survive. Ultimately, they get euthanized for space or for illnesses contracted at the shelter.

There simply are not enough people to adopt.

We rescue these animals by operating a life-saving transport, foster, and adoption program. WTAR finds the pets who need us the most by employing a full-time transport coordinator on the ground in Mississippi (WTAR South), with the goal of working directly with these shelters and communities to be a resource when they cannot accept any more animals or find enough homes. These transports operate nearly weekly, relieving the shelters and communities from overcrowding and needless euthanasia. Redirecting the intake of young, at-risk animals from the shelter to WTAR allows additional time and resources to be spent on the older, less adoptable residents of the shelter that would otherwise be euthanized for space. Rescued animals are then scheduled and placed on emergency transport with WTAR to Northern Virginia. Upon arrival, they undergo an extensive veterinary intake evaluation and then are placed in foster homes until they find their forever homes through private Meet & Greets.
