Story
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.
