My story

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

Charlie is a small dog with a big personality!

Charlie is silly, upbeat, and always seems ready to brighten your day with his joyful energy. This a happy little guy has quickly won over staff with his goofy charm. Some say he gives serious Jim Carrey vibes, complete with expressive antics and a talent for making people laugh...and then there are the Grinch feet which add to his quirky appeal!

This joyful boy loves toys and treats and is picking up more skills more every day, including working on his house manners! With consistency, positive reinforcement, and a sense of humor, Charlie is sure to continue blossoming into a wonderful companion.

If you’re looking for a fun-loving companion who doesn’t take life too seriously and knows how to spread smiles wherever he goes, Charlie might just be your perfect match!

If you are interested in adopting Charlie, please visit the shelter during our adoption hours.
