His foster family sees this quirk as part of his delightfully “extra” personality. Despite these funny habits, Charlie is a born entertainer who will keep you laughing and always guessing. With his bold looks and confident swagger, he certainly turns heads wherever he goes. For anyone seeking a companion bursting with spunk, style, and affection, Charlie may be the perfect fit.
