Since recovering from his surgeries, Charlie's sweet personality has emerged. When food is on the line or something good happens, he’ll twirl in place and may even offer up a cheerful little song. He follows his people everywhere, prancing around like a tiny, determined gentleman. Charlie fits into home life with quiet ease. During the day, he hangs out near his foster dad, picking up confidence through gentle coaching and clicker training. Every milestone counts, no matter how small. It took a while, but now Charlie even barks occasionally—though he’s a mostly quiet guy. He’s started enjoying time with the other dogs in his foster home; they’re not play buddies, but they share naps and good company just fine.
