Story
🚗 Meet Charlie – Looking for a Co-Pilot for Life! 🐾
If you're searching for a laid-back best friend who would rather cruise the countryside than run a marathon, Charlie is your guy!
At 75-80 pounds, Charlie is a handsome tan and black German Shepherd with a heart that's as big as his love for car rides. In fact, if you let him, he'd happily move right into your vehicle! Short walks, sniffing every interesting scent, a little playtime with his dog friends, and then a long nap by your side? That's Charlie's perfect day.
Charlie is potty trained, knows sit and has great off-leash recall. He's working on down, stay, place, and off, and is eager to keep learning. He enjoys having his kennel available as his own quiet retreat and often chooses to nap there with the door open.
He's lived successfully with dogs, cats, and even chickens! He ignores chickens completely and does well with cats, though he may occasionally need a reminder not to chase. Charlie enjoys playing with other dogs after introductions, but can be a little bossy at first and sometimes plays a bit too enthusiastically before settling in.
Charlie loves squeaky stuffed toys, dental chews, liver treats, cow ears, and simply hanging out with his people. He's not much of a lap dog, but he'll happily keep you company in whatever room you're in.
Like many dogs, Charlie has a few things he's still working on. He can be vocal when people approach the house—especially unfamiliar men—but he's much calmer out on walks and has never shown aggression beyond barking. He'll also need a family that can keep him on a twice-daily feeding schedule, help manage his mild hip stiffness with ramps or steps when needed, and plan for some future dental work.
If you're looking for a loyal companion who's happiest riding shotgun, taking leisurely sniff walks, and spending quiet evenings together, Charlie is ready to climb into your heart... and probably your car, too. ❤️
