About Charlotte

Charlotte has energy to spare and a personality that fills a room. She turns every ordinary moment into a new adventure, whether she’s chasing balls, dragging around stuffed animals, or inventing her own backyard games. Walks are never dull with Charlotte—she’ll gleefully army crawl or flop over in the grass, angling for belly rubs, but she’s also learning to walk politely on leash thanks to diligent fostering. If you have a home with plenty of activity—or another playful, confident dog—Charlotte would fit right in. She tends toward mouthy play, so be sure to have hardy toys on hand to help keep her antics in check. Charlotte’s smart, always eager for training, enrichment, or any kind of challenge to keep her mind busy. Give her a job or a puzzle and she’s in her element. Water is her other passion—if there’s a pool, hose, or puddle around, Charlotte won’t miss a chance to splash. She’s a big dog who’ll thrive with space, exercise, and time from a family willing to match her bold, goofy spirit. If you’re ready for a dog who lives large and laughs loud, Charlotte is waiting to meet you. Let’s make it official, apply to adopt!
