About Charlie Girl

Charlie Girl is a spayed female mixed breed, about 12-18 months old and weighing around 40 lbs. With her striking ears and delightful temperament, she was rescued from a shelter that had reached capacity. After being found as a stray alongside Handsome Jack, Charlie Girl quickly caught the attention of PAWHI, who ensured she received a foster home. In her foster care, Charlie has made remarkable progress. She's now house-trained, crate-trained, and comfortable on a leash. Gentle with treats, she shows no signs of resource guarding, and she shines in social settings with both people and other dogs, including kids. While her interactions with cats haven’t been evaluated, she’s been a joy to have around. Currently under the care of Dog Gone Seattle, Charlie aims to connect with her future forever family soon.
