Story
Meet Charlie!
Charlie is a 3-year-old, 60lb Australian Shepherd with a heart as big as his fluffy coat. Through no fault of his own, Charlie and his sister, Mae, found themselves in rescue after their beloved owner was hospitalized and sadly would not be returning home. While losing everything he knew was heartbreaking, Charlie has proven that love and resilience can carry you through.
Now, this bestest boy is ready to find a family to call his own.
Charlie is neutered, up to date on all of his vaccinations, and completely housebroken. He's settling into foster care beautifully and has quickly become everyone's favorite cuddle buddy.
During the day, Charlie is a perfect gentleman. He's happy to hang out by the couch, keeping you company while you work, watch TV, or simply relax. When nighttime comes, however, Charlie's favorite place is snuggled up in bed with his people. If you're looking for a dog who believes there's no such thing as being too close to the ones he loves, Charlie is your perfect match.
Charlie absolutely adores his foster dog siblings and would love a home with another confident, well-adjusted dog. Like any good Aussie, he has a natural herding instinct, so he'll do best with a canine friend who doesn't mind his playful style.
He's also an active boy who would love a securely fenced yard where he can run, play, and get the zoomies out before coming inside for cuddles. Charlie walks well on a leash but does get excited and can pull, so he'll benefit from a family willing to continue his leash manners and help him become the perfect walking companion.
Because Charlie sometimes forgets just how big he is when he's excited, we'd recommend a home with older children. His enthusiasm comes from a place of pure joy—his favorite way to show affection is by enthusiastically leaning, bumping, and loving on his people with his whole heart.
Charlie has already experienced more change than any dog should have to, but he hasn't let it change the loving, loyal dog he is. He's looking for a family that will embrace him as a true member of the household, include him in adventures, laugh at his goofy moments, and always save him a spot beside them—especially at bedtime.
If you're looking for a best friend who will fill your home with love, laughter, and endless devotion, Charlie is ready to meet you.
Charlie is fostered in the Cincinnati area. His adoption fee is $275.00.
To adopt this animal, please visit https://www.louieslegacy.org/adopt
All of our animals come spayed or neutered, up to date on age appropriate vaccinations, are microchipped, heartworm negative, current on flea/tick and heartworm prevention, dewormed, and treated for any ailments found upon veterinary examination. The adoption fee covers a portion of these services, and makes it possible for us to continue rescuing animals.
For more information on the adoption fees and the adoption process, please complete our adoption application here: https://www.louieslegacy.org/adopt - an application allows us to get to know your family better so we can assess whether the animal you are interested in is a good match for your home. An application does not obligate you to adopt. Please understand that due to the volume of applications some animals receive, we are unable to contact all applicants. If your application is considered a good fit for the animal you are interested in, or even a different pet, a volunteer will give you a call as soon as possible.
We are a foster based rescue and do not have a shelter location where animals can be seen during the week. Please see our Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/LouiesLegacy for our weekly adoption album if you are interested in meeting an animal in person. Not all animals attend every adoption event, please check our Facebook page for animal event times and locations before you make a trip to meet a specific animal.
