Charlie is a 7-year-old, lively Basset Hound/Basenji mix who brings energy and heart to everything he does. Born November 1 (a true Scorpio—intense, loyal, and completely charming), he never fails to turn a backyard romp or a sprinkler run into a full-blown event. Charlie is sharp as a tack and quick to pick up commands, and his cuddling skills are hard to match. He thrives in a home with space to play but will happily adapt to an apartment with the right active family to keep him engaged. This 40-pound pup gets along well with many dogs—especially females and select males—though he’s a bit discerning about his canine friends. With proper introductions, he’ll form strong bonds, but he’d also be content as the only dog soaking up all your attention. Kids will love his playful, goofy style, and he greets people with affection and deep, loving stares. Charlie’s interested in cats (mostly in a chase-and-race kind of way), so a cat-free home works best. He’s house trained, sleeps quietly in his crate, and won’t chew up bedding. While his leash manners are still a work in progress, he’s making steady improvements. Charlie is neutered, microchipped, and up to date on all vaccinations. He’s the total package for an adopter looking for a smart, fun, and loving companion ready to join in on every adventure. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
