About Charlie

Charlie is a bright, devoted adult male who wants nothing more than to be your loyal companion. This large, black-and-white mix of Black Labrador Retriever and Pointer thrives on connection—he bonds closely and gives affection freely. Charlie is gentle and eager to learn; he soaks up new tricks and enjoys strolls around the neighborhood followed by playtime with his favorite toys. He’s intelligent and quick to catch on, but new places and faces can make him shy, so he’ll do best with someone steady and patient who can help him settle in and grow his confidence. Charlie gets along well with other dogs, but he’s happiest when he can develop deep ties to his people. Fun fact: he’s a Scorpio, so you can expect plenty of loyalty and depth with that wagging tail.
