Story
Meet Charlie! 🐾
Charlie is an adorable, spirited little guy who’s ready to find his forever home. He’s about 5 years old, weighs a petite 14 pounds, and is full of personality. His foster family adores his playful energy and zest for life. Charlie currently lives with both a small dog and a large dog and enjoys enthusiastic playtime. Because his play style can be a bit “all in,” he’d do best with another dog who matches his energy — or he’d also be perfectly happy being the one-and-only canine in the home.
Charlie was found as a stray, so his past is unknown. Shelter life was stressful for him, and he arrived in foster care feeling fearful and unsure. Like many small dogs, Charlie is very communicative — he gives clear signals when he’s uncomfortable and, if those signals are missed, he may growl or become nippy. For this reason, we’re looking for a home with no children under 12 and an adopter who understands small-dog behavior and body language.
The good news? Once Charlie feels safe and settled, his sweet side truly shines. In his foster home, he’s become a cuddly little companion who loves curling up in a lap and soaking up affection. He thrives in a calm, predictable environment and responds beautifully to positive reinforcement.
Charlie enjoys chewing on bones, going for walks, and spending time with his people. He knows his basic commands, including sit and giving paw, and takes pride in showing them off. With the right match — a patient, experienced, and loving home — Charlie will be a loyal, affectionate, and endlessly charming companion.
Charlie is neutered, up to date on all vaccinations, heartworm negative, housetrained, and microchipped. He’s ready to meet the family who will appreciate him for the wonderful little dog he is.
