Story
Meet Charlotte
• Name: Charlotte
• Age: 7–8 years
• Sex: Spayed Female
• Breed: Terrier Mix
• Color: Brown
• Weight: 9.5 kg
• Height (shoulder): 37 cm
Rescue Story
Charlotte was rescued from a municipal shelter in January 2021. After her rescue, she spent about four years in a private shelter. During her time at the shelter, Charlotte was bitten by another dog. Following that experience, she became very sensitive to handling and touch, which made finding an adoptive home more challenging.
In November, Charlotte joined the AKR center, where she began desensitization and touch training. At first, even putting on a collar or harness caused her to scream, but with consistent training and patience, she has made meaningful progress. Now, she may occasionally whine slightly, but her reaction has improved significantly.
She is sensitive to her fur being pulled, so she is currently kept with a short coat for her comfort.
Socialization with People
Charlotte can be a little shy at first, but she is very food-motivated. With treats and gentle, positive reinforcement, she warms up quickly and becomes comfortable with touch.
She has not been tested with children under 13. While she can be picked up once she trusts you, this may be difficult for strangers at first. As she bonds, she becomes affectionate—even offering her belly for rubs.
Socialization with Dogs
Charlotte is friendly and social with other dogs. She approaches both familiar and unfamiliar dogs to greet and invite play.
She can be a bit vocal when playing, which may overwhelm more timid dogs. However, she does very well with dogs that match her energy level, regardless of size.
She would thrive either with a compatible canine companion or as the only dog in the home.
Cats
Not yet tested, but can be assessed upon request.
Energy Level
Moderate energy. She enjoys outdoor activities but settles down calmly afterward.
Walks
Charlotte may look around curiously during walks, but she follows her handler well and does not pull on the leash.
Other Notes
• No resource guarding toward people or dogs
• No separation anxiety—she stays home alone well
• May bark at other dogs, but does not bark excessively at people
• Calm and quiet in a kennel
• Nervous about getting into the car—may need to be gently carried in (a crate is recommended initially)
• Currently uses outdoor potty
Ideal Home
Charlotte is looking for a patient and understanding home that will continue her positive reinforcement training and respect her sensitivity to touch. With time, consistency, and kindness, she truly blossoms into a loving and affectionate companion.
If you’re looking for a sweet, resilient dog and are willing to give her the time she needs to fully trust, Charlotte could be your perfect match.
