Story
Meet Charlie! (Possibly mixed Maltese/Bichon Frisé/unknown)Charlie is a loving, human-friendly dog looking for his perfect match — a calm home with a yard, no other animals, and plenty of affection to give.I want to be fully transparent, because Charlie deserves an adopter who knows exactly what they’re signing up for. He’s not the easiest dog. After 7 months of working closely with our vet — trying medication and positive reinforcement — he still struggles around other animals. City life hasn’t helped either; street noise, elevator sounds, and seeing dogs from the window can all trigger his anxiety. We’ve made progress, but he needs an environment that sets him up to succeed.What he is wonderful at: people. He’s calm, affectionate, and genuinely loves human company. He’s about 90% house trained, with only occasional accidents (mostly on the pee pad).I’m looking for an Experienced single-pet home with a yard — ideally somewhere quieter — where Charlie can finally decompress and thrive.
