About Charlie Pyr Bridge

Charlie is a young Great Pyrenees, estimated at two years old or younger, who spent time as a stray before coming into care. She warms up with patience—a bit shy at first around new people, but never aggressive or possessive about food. Once Charlie trusts you, she’s playful and craves constant attention, happiest when being petted or romping in the yard. She’s potty trained, does well in a fenced area, and is still learning leash manners; walks may take some patience and a gentle approach. Like a puppy, she has a thing for chewing, so sturdy toys are a must. Charlie’s health seems robust, and she eats well. She isn’t yet spayed, so her adopter will need to handle that within the first month. Because she’s skittish, slow, thoughtful introductions are crucial if there are kids or other pets at home. Charlie needs a calm, experienced adopter willing to give her time, structure, and positive guidance. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
