My story

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

Charlie



 



Age: 3 years



Sex: Neutered male



Breed: Mix



Color: Brown



Weight: 8.05 kg



Height: 32 cm



 



 



Rescue Story



 



Charlie was rescued from an extremely traumatic situation. After an elderly owner passed away, the home was found with deceased cats, one surviving cat, and Charlie — who had been left confined in the bathroom with a wire muzzle tied around his mouth.



 



After the scene was cleared by authorities and the landlord, Charlie was placed in temporary care and then transferred to a municipal shelter.



Despite what he went through, Charlie has remained affectionate, intelligent, and deeply people-oriented.



 



 



‍‍ With People



 



Charlie loves people and seeks connection.



 



• Approaches both familiar and new people with friendly body rubs



• May be slightly shy at first, but warms up quickly with treats



• Allows handling and enjoys being held when supported under the belly



• Often shows his belly once comfortable — sometimes even to new people



• Generally more comfortable with women



• Can be fearful of some men and needs patient, calm introductions



 



 



With Other Dogs



 



Charlie is social and playful with other dogs.



 



• Greets both familiar and unfamiliar dogs and invites them to play



• Friendly with dogs both larger and similar in size



• If another dog challenges him, he may respond — so careful introductions are important



 



Cats & Prey Drive



 



• Has lived in a multi-cat household for about 5 months



• On walks, he may stare at cats but will follow his handler



• Shows prey drive toward birds



 



Energy & Activity



 



Charlie has medium to high energy and has athletic ability.



 



• Loves outdoor activity and play



• Settles well after proper exercise



• Needs daily physical and mental stimulation



 



He has even kept up with Border Collies and Malinois for hours of play — he is small but mighty.



 



 



On Walks



 



• Walks well on leash without pulling



• Loves to sniff and may stop often to explore



 



 



At Home



 



• Uses both pee pads and outdoor potty



• Calm and well-behaved in a kennel



• Gets in and out of the car on his own



• May bark at unfamiliar people



 



 



Food & Training



 



• Not food-protective toward people



• May growl if another dog approaches while he is eating



• Extremely food-motivated — excellent for training



 



 



Play, Training & Intelligence



 



Charlie is smart, athletic, and playful.



 



• Loves fetch, tug, and chasing toys



• Prefers soft toys like socks and plushies



• Enjoys puzzle toys and food-dispensing toys



• Strong bite strength — toys wear out quickly



 



He has even won local competitions for:



“Sit & Stay”



“Find the Treat”



 



He thrives in homes that enjoy training, agility, and interactive play.



 



 



The Right Home



 



He needs:



A confident, consistent handler



Daily exercise and mental stimulation



Structured introductions to new dogs and people



 



In return, he becomes deeply loyal, funny, energetic, and emotionally bonded to his person — a true partner for someone who enjoys an active life with their dog.



 



Charlie is ready to give his whole heart to the person who gives him stability, leadership, and love.
