Meet Charley, a 2-year-old bundle of joy who seems to love everything and everyone she’s ever met: people, dogs, cats, kids, food, the great outdoors, and probably life itself. She came to us from a high-risk shelter in Texas and has fully embraced her second chance with unmatched enthusiasm.
Charley has what can only be described as elite-level energy (the kind that makes humans jealous). She’s playful, joyful, and always ready for her next adventure. Because of this, she’ll thrive best with a family committed to giving her plenty of physical exercise and mental enrichment. When she’s bored, Charley doesn’t sulk, she gets creative. Garbage, throw pillows, home décor...if it looks like it might be a toy, it deserves a full inspection.
Speaking of toys: Charley is a true toy connoisseur. She will carefully remove each toy from its designated spot, inspect it thoroughly for quality and suitability, then move on to the next. Once she’s completed her audit, her job is done. It is then the human’s responsibility to put everything back so she can begin again. Teamwork makes the dream work.
Charley adores being outside and turns into a full-body wiggle when her harness comes out. Leash attached? Great! She’s ready to see, sniff, and experience everything immediately. She would love a human willing to help her learn that she will get to explore it all, and that patience is, indeed, a virtue.
Despite her big energy, Charley is incredibly loving and cuddly. She bonds deeply with her people and has a way of making herself feel absolutely essential to your happiness. She’s spayed, vaccinated, microchipped, and ready for a home that appreciates a joyful, curious, affectionate little unicorn of a dog.
Fair warning: once Charley moves in, you may genuinely wonder how you ever lived without her.
All CAWS animals are spayed or neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped. Dogs are not placed on a first-come, first-served basis; we focus on finding the best match for each dog and each family.
