Charlie is a sweet-natured Pocket Pyr mix looking for a family to call his own in Beacon, NY. After being found as a stray, he’s embraced foster life and is revealing a gentle, affectionate personality. Charlie walks nicely on leash and is steadily learning basic commands and better house manners—he’ll thrive with a patient family that enjoys seeing a dog blossom and grow. He has medium energy and is happiest when gnawing on a sturdy chew toy or romping with plush squeakers. For safety, he’ll need a secure fenced yard of at least five feet, or committed leash walks if that’s not possible. Charlie gets along beautifully with other dogs and would do well either as an only dog or with a canine companion to play with. He’s a sensitive soul who can be nervous around loud noises or new situations, and he’ll benefit most in a quieter household with older kids or teens. At heart, Charlie just wants to relax with his people—snuggling, being silly, and soaking up gentle attention. He’s house trained, neutered, and has his vaccinations up to date. Give this shy, loving boy a calm, supportive home and you’ll get a loyal friend in return. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
