Meet the incredible Charlie, a charming 25lb shepherd mix who’s not just a good boy — he’s a bundle of joy waiting to fill hearts with love! 🐶 At his young age of around 10 months to 1.5 years, Charlie is a spirited little adventurer ready to explore the world! ✨ This sweetheart gets along famously with dogs of all sizes and even has a soft spot for cats! 🐾 His gentle nature shines through in his interactions with the little ones in his foster home — he’s been a darling to a 3-year-old and a 9-month-old. However, it might be better for him to thrive in a house with kids aged 5 and up, where he can truly feel at ease and be the playful pup he is! 🎈 Charlie may be sweet, but he does have a nervous side that needs a little extra patience. When things move too fast for him, he can feel unsure, leading to some nervous pees. But don’t worry, he’s making strides in his potty training and is generally comfortable in his kennel at night and during the day. He just needs a gentle nudge to guide him in — once he’s in, he’s a great little companion! 🛏️ This little dynamo isn’t just about cuddles (though he loves snuggling up after a busy day!) — he is a curious explorer! 🧗‍♂️ Charlie loves climbing and observing the world around him, which means he can be a bit mischievous when boredom strikes! With his keen desire for action, Charlie will make sure there’s never a dull moment in his new home. To help him flourish, he needs a family that understands his playful spirit and is willing to work with him to boost his confidence. An active home with a dog sibling to romp around with would be a wonderful fit for him! 🐕 Charlie is patiently waiting for his forever family, and you could be the one to provide him that loving space! If you’re intrigued by this wonderful boy and want to help him bloom into his best self, *please apply through the Buddy App* to meet him! He's ready to bring a splash of joy and a wagging tail into your life! 💖
