About Charlie

Charlie is a sweet Labradoodle with an energetic spark who’s made it through a rough start. She’s about a year and a half old, playful, and bonded tightly with her sister Sandy—these two must go home together. Charlie came from a backyard breeder who did the right thing by reaching out for help, so she’s starting this new chapter hoping for a real home. At first, she might watch you from a distance, a little shy around newcomers, but give it a moment and she’ll warm up into a devoted, affectionate friend. She loves to romp outside and play, but it’s clear Charlie values time with people much more than being left alone in a yard. She brings a curious, fun-loving spirit to the household and thrives when she gets plenty of companionship and attention. Charlie has been fully vetted, spayed, and microchipped for safety. She and Sandy are both eager to meet someone ready for a loyal, two-dog adventure. Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
