About Charlie

Meet Charlie, the darling diva of the dog world! This stunning purebred red and white Border Collie is 5 ½ years young, and oh my, is she a joy to behold! 🎉 Having spent her whole life with her beloved family alongside her brother Copper, circumstances sadly shifted, and now this spirited girl is ready to leap into a new adventure with YOU! Charlie is adored by her foster siblings and has a blast playing games like chase and wrestling—just those delightful, tail-wagging escapades that make life so much fun! 🏃‍♀️ And let’s face it; every day is a playdate with her enthusiasm for toys! But be warned, she hasn’t quite grasped the idea of fetch with a ball or frisbee yet. Who needs it when you can create your own excitement, right? With her perfect blend of sweet and gentle energy, Charlie has a special place in her heart for both adults and children alike. She’s not just searching for a home; she’s looking for a family! 🤗 Whether it's an adventurous day out or a cozy night in, when she’s not showing off her fabulous personality, she's learning new tricks like ‘sit’, ‘down’, and ‘stay’. Jumping on people is out of the question; Charlie's too classy for that! Here’s the scoop on Charlie—she’s a curious little explorer driven by her intelligence. 🔍 But be mindful of what’s on your coffee table; boredom may lead her to explore things she shouldn’t! But with ample exercise and dedicated chew toys, that curious spirit can be satisfied. However, Charlie does have a bit of a strong prey drive; she likes to chase things that run, particularly chickens and cats (oops!). She’ll need a place with no fowl friends or feline companions. A secure fence is necessary, or an adopter who can keep her safely leashed—we simply can’t let this beauty roam free without supervision! 🏡 Additionally, she’s working on her recall skills, so continued training will be important for this clever girl! Best news yet—she’s perfect for a family that loves to engage in activities! A playful pup as a companion would fit right into her happy story. Charlie walks beautifully on a loose leash, is kennel trained, and is mostly house trained. Now, let’s chat about her health! Charlie had a couple of seizures after joining her foster home. A vet check revealed she has hypothyroidism, which is totally manageable! Just like any good superstar, she’ll need a simple daily medication to keep her shining bright. Routine blood work during her yearly vet visits will be necessary to maintain her medication’s dosage, ensuring she stays as fabulous as ever! 🌟 Charlie is spayed, fully vetted, microchipped, and on Heartworm, flea, and tick prevention. Can you feel the love? So, does Charlie sound like a perfect match for your forever family? If your heart is doing a little happy dance, be sure to apply through the Buddy App to meet this remarkable girl and give her the second chance she deserves!
