About Charlie

Charlie is a handsome 2-year-old German Shepherd who found himself at Animal Control as a stray. Initially thin and overwhelmed by kennel life, he's bounced back remarkably. After being neutered and brought up to date on vaccinations, he’s now thriving in his foster home. Charlie has a medium energy level and enjoys activities like fetch and tag. He does well with other dogs and has made friends with many people, though he can be selective. This loyal companion is house trained and crate trained, and he appreciates a good petting session. While he may shy away from shouting, he quickly warms up to those he trusts. Having had treated ear infections, Charlie is now on a special diet of Blue Buffalo Salmon sensitive skin food and seems to have no further issues. This dog seeks a strong connection with his human, and if you're ready for a loving companion, Charlie is eager to meet you. Let's make it official, apply to adopt!
