Story
9/1/26: 🎓 Off to School! Hi there! I'm headed to Char-Wills' prison training program for the month, where I'll be working on basic obedience, socialization, and learning how to be the best companion I can be. Because I'll be away at school, I won't be available for adoption until I return on 9/29/26. If you'd like to meet me, the first available appointment day will be Wednesday, September 30th. Check back when I return to see all the new things I've learned—I can't wait to show off my skills! --- 8/22/26: 🐾 Meet Barkley! ❤️ Barkley is a handsome, playful boy who was found as a stray in New Jersey and is ready to leave his stray days behind and find a family of his own! This guy loves to have fun, especially when water is involved! He enjoys chasing the hose, splashing through puddles, and playing ball. After playtime, Barkley is happy to settle down and show off his sweet side with plenty of kisses and affection. ❤️ Barkley is easy to walk on a leash, knows “sit,” and enjoys spending time with people he trusts. He may potentially do well with the right female dog, but for now, we're recommending that Barkley be the king of the castle so he can soak up all the love and attention. If you're looking for a fun-loving, affectionate adventure buddy who will keep you smiling, Barkley may be your guy! 🐾💙 --- 8/9/26: Meet Barkley! 🐾 If you're looking for a best friend who knows how to have a good time, Barkley may be your perfect match! This handsome boy was originally found as a stray in New Jersey, so we don't know much about his past. What we do know is that he's ready to leave his stray days behind and start the next chapter of his life with a family of his own. Barkley is always up for an adventure, especially when water is involved! Chasing the hose, splashing through puddles, and playing in the water are some of his favorite activities. He's also a big fan of playing ball and never turns down a good game of fetch in the exercise yards. Once playtime is over, Barkley is happy to slow things down and show off his sweet side with plenty of kisses and affection. This lovable guy is easy to walk on a leash, knows the command "sit," and enjoys spending time with people he trusts. He may potentially do well with the right female dog, but for now, we're recommending that Barkley be the king of the castle, where he can soak up all the love and attention for himself. If you're searching for a playful, affectionate companion who is always ready to make you smile, Barkley is waiting to meet you! Come spend some time with this handsome boy and see if he's the missing piece your family has been looking for. ❤️ --- 7/21/26: Meet Barkley If you're looking for a best friend who knows how to have fun, Barkley may be your perfect match!

Story
Meet Maggie! 🐾❤️ Maggie is an active, bright girl who is ready to leave her uncertain past behind and find the forever home she’s been waiting for. Maggie was originally picked up as a stray by local law enforcement. She spent her stray hold at the police station while everyone waited and hoped that someone would come looking for her. Sadly, no one ever came forward to claim this sweet girl. Now Maggie is with us, and we’re determined to help her find the family she was meant to have. Maggie is an active girl who enjoys getting outside to stretch her legs, play, and explore. She has already had the opportunity to spend time outside with two different male dogs, and she handled both interactions very well. While every dog introduction should always be done thoughtfully and gradually, Maggie has shown us that she can enjoy canine company. Maggie is also an attentive girl who likes to know what’s going on around her. She will alert when someone is nearby, making her a good little watchdog who is sure to let you know when she thinks something deserves your attention. Now that Maggie has a safe place to land, all she needs is the most important thing of all: a family to call her own. She would love an active home where she can get plenty of exercise, enrichment, playtime, and—most importantly—the love and companionship she may have been missing. Maggie’s story started with someone finding her all alone. She’s ready for the next chapter, and we hope it leads her straight to her forever home. ❤️🐾

Story
Meet Bowser! 🐾❤️ If you’re looking for a social, affectionate, easygoing companion who is just as happy spending time with his family as he is relaxing on the couch, you may have just found your guy! Bowser originally came to a shelter in New York as an owner surrender due to lifestyle changes. While we’re sure saying goodbye wasn’t easy, his previous family had so many wonderful things to say about him—and it’s clear that Bowser has a lot of love to give. Bowser is described as a loving, protective, and somewhat lazy couch potato. 😴❤️ He loves being wherever his people are and simply enjoys being part of the family. He’s always happy to meet new people, although when it comes to affection, Bowser prefers to receive contact on his own terms. He’ll let you know when he’s ready for some love! Bowser is also wonderfully well-mannered when it comes to everyday life. He enjoys his daily walks and does not pull on the leash. He is accustomed to going to the groomer, but he will also happily allow his family to bathe him, brush him, and trim his nails. He was previously crate trained, although he hasn’t needed a crate for several years. He knows the cues “sit,” “paw,” and “lay down,” and he’s food motivated—especially when meat treats are involved! 🥩 He isn’t picky about his food and enjoys most toys. When he’s not relaxing at home, Bowser loves going for car rides and spending time with his family. One of the things his previous family loved most about Bowser was how loving and protective he is of the people he cares about. He forms meaningful bonds with his humans and takes being their companion seriously. And if you’re wondering how Bowser feels about a busy household, he has experience with plenty of company! He previously lived with children, cats, and other dogs, and his family reports that he was great with all of them. ❤️ Bowser truly seems to have that wonderful combination of being social without being demanding, affectionate without needing constant attention, and playful when the mood strikes—but perfectly content to spend an afternoon lounging beside his people. He’s ready for a new family to love, protect, and follow from room to room. And in exchange? He’ll happily be your loyal companion, adventure buddy, couch potato, and best friend. 🐾❤️ Bowser has so much love left to give. All he needs now is the family who will give him the forever home he deserves.

Story
🐾 Meet Hutch! 🐾 Hutch is a very active guy with a big personality, lots of energy, and so much love to give! ❤️ He’s happiest when he’s busy, so he would thrive with an experienced, active family who can keep both his body and mind engaged. Hutch is heartworm positive, but please don’t let that scare you away! ❤️ Today, September 10, 2026, Hutch is receiving his first heartworm injection and officially beginning his treatment. Our rescue will financially cover his heartworm treatment, as long as he receives his treatment through our veterinarian. When it comes to other animals, Hutch is not good with cats. He may do well with the right female dog, but he can become jealous and would much rather have his people all to himself. Because of this, we believe Hutch would likely be happiest as the only dog in the home. Hutch is looking for an experienced family who understands his energy, personality, and need for continued guidance. In return, he’ll bring plenty of fun, loyalty, affection, and adventure to his new family! 🐶❤️ If you’re looking for an active companion who’s ready to start his next chapter, Hutch may be your guy! 🐾 Please share to help Hutch find the family he deserves! ❤️

Shadow is a beautiful young girl looking for a new home where she can continue to grow, learn, and feel loved. She was surrendered by her owner due to her high prey drive, so she is not a good fit for a home with cats or other small animals, including ducks. Despite being a little shy at first, Shadow is slowly coming out of her shell and showing us more of her sweet personality every day. She may need a little time and patience to feel comfortable with new people, but once she does, we think there is a wonderful companion waiting to shine through. Shadow has lived with children of all ages and has also lived successfully with other dogs. Here at the rescue, she regularly goes out to play and take potty breaks with a male dog, and the two get along very well. As always, proper introductions are recommended when meeting new canine friends. If you're looking for a beautiful girl who just needs a little time to build confidence and settle in, Shadow may be the girl for you. Give this sweet, shy girl the chance to show you just how special she can be. ❤️🐾 --- 8/12/26: Hello, everyone! I would like to say that I have just arrived at Char-Wills on 8/12/26. Because of my prey drive, I played a bit rough with one of the pet ducks on the property. There will be more information to come in the next week or so as I get settled in!

Story
9/6/26: Meet Phoenix! 🐾❤️ Phoenix is a sweet girl who found herself in rescue through no fault of her own after her family went through a divorce. With so much suddenly changing around her, Phoenix needed some time to decompress and learn that she was safe. Thankfully, she is making wonderful progress in her foster home and her confidence is beginning to shine through! Phoenix is still a little skittish around new people and unfamiliar situations, but she has come a long way. Once she feels comfortable with someone, her sweet and playful personality really comes out. She has become quite the playful girl and loves trying to convince her foster's senior dog, Kodiak, to join in—even though he would much rather take it easy! Because of her energy and playful nature, Phoenix would likely enjoy having a younger, friendly canine companion or dog-savvy children who can keep up with her. She will also need an active family willing to give her plenty of opportunities to burn off her energy. Her training is continuing to progress, too. Phoenix is learning her commands, takes treats nicely, and is getting better on her walks. In a safe, fenced area, she does wonderfully off leash with her foster and stays close by. A simple “No” or “Come” is enough to have her immediately return to her person—a great sign of the bond and trust she has developed. Phoenix has also made huge strides with the cats in her foster home. She is no longer nervous around them and has become comfortable sharing her space. She even allows the resident male cat to rub against and groom her face, and she'll happily lick him in return! 🥰 At home, Phoenix does very well when left alone for both short and longer periods and does not need to be crated. She also absolutely loves going for car and truck rides! Phoenix may not be the dog who immediately runs up to greet every new person, but she is proving that with patience, consistency, and time, she can blossom into a happy, affectionate, playful companion. She is looking for a family who will continue building her confidence while giving her the exercise, companionship, and guidance she needs to thrive. Phoenix has already come such a long way—and we can't wait to see how much further she goes with a family of her own! She is available for adoption and a meet and greet appointment can be arranged with the foster upon request.🐾❤️ --- 8/22/26: 🐾 Meet Phoenix! ❤️ Phoenix is a sweet girl who found herself in rescue through no fault of her own after her family went through a divorce. With her world suddenly changing, Phoenix is now getting the time, patience, and support she needs to feel safe and confident again. Phoenix is currently in a foster home working on socialization, and she's doing well! She is still on the shy and skittish side, so she may need some time to warm up to new people and unfamiliar situations. She's not particularly food-motivated, so building her confidence is all about patience, consistency, and letting her move at her own pace. Phoenix is also learning about living with cats. She is initially nervous around them, but she's beginning to come around to her foster's calm, laid-back male cat. She remains more fearful of the female cat, who has swatted at her. Phoenix is looking for a patient, understanding family who will give her the time and space she needs to blossom. She may not be the dog who immediately runs up to greet you, but with love and consistency, we're hopeful she'll continue to gain confidence and show her true personality. Phoenix has already made great progress, and her journey is just beginning. She's looking for someone willing to give her the chance to feel safe, loved, and finally at home. 🐾❤️ --- 8/2/26: 🏡 Currently in Foster Care This dog is currently staying in a foster home and is not on-site at the rescue. They are still available for adoption! If you're an approved adopter and would like to meet them, please contact the Char-Wills office. We'll be happy to coordinate an appointment with the foster family so you can meet them at the rescue. It may be some time before we can give a better update on Phoenix. Her and her brothers are still trying their best to acclimate to their new environment. We'll post an update from the foster family after some time to see how she's coming out of her shell. --- 7/26/26: Hello, everyone! I would like to say that I have just arrived at Char-Wills on 7/26/26. My parents are sadly splitting up and can no longer care for me and my siblings on their own. There will be more information to come in the next week or so as I get settled in!
