About Charlie

Charlie is a sweet, sensitive dog who's feeling overwhelmed by all the noise and bustle at the shelter. She’s just arrived and needs a quiet, stable home where things don’t get too hectic. Charlie adores people, but she’s a bit cautious—she wants affection on her own terms and needs plenty of personal space. If you have kids in the family, they’ll need to respect her boundaries: no hugs, no grabbing, and definitely no crowding. She’s not one for sharing her space with other animals; Charlie really needs to be your one and only. If you’re patient and gentle, she’ll settle in and become a devoted snuggle partner. Born March 11, 2020, Charlie is a textbook Pisces—thoughtful, sometimes shy, but loving when she feels secure. She’s waiting in New Manchester, WV. They are waiting with paws crossed! Apply now!
