They are waiting with paws crossed! Apply now! Charlene is a six-year-old sweetheart looking for her own loving home after successfully raising her puppies. Now it's her time to be pampered—she is more than ready to soak up all the love and attention you can give. This affectionate girl is deeply people-oriented and happiest when close to her humans, whether joining you for a walk or relaxing at home. With a moderate energy level, Charlene enjoys bursts of play (she's especially fond of tennis balls!) but settles in nicely for cozy naps. She continues to improve her leash manners with regular practice. Her playful side shines with toys, though plush ones may quickly be "destuffed"—durable toys are a great choice! Charlene is dog-neutral, thriving with a "parallel play" style. While she is comfortable around other dogs, she does appreciate personal attention and may do best in a home that can cater to her needs or let her be the star. She has been good with kids, but would benefit from slow introductions to smaller animals due to a possible prey drive—she shows curiosity toward birds and bunnies on walks. Brief barking may occur at kennel time, but she settles quickly once comfortable. Charlene requires a special urinary diet, so her adopters should be prepared to continue this regimen. If you are seeking a loyal, affectionate companion who balances playfulness and calm perfectly, Charlene is eager to join your family. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
