About Charlie

Meet Charlie! Charlie is a lively 2-year-old Yorkie and Mini Poodle mix, weighing in at about 10 pounds. After being surrendered due to his owner’s circumstances, he’s ready for a fresh start. Though he came with an overgrown coat and long nails, he’s still full of joy and love. An affectionate little companion, Charlie gets along beautifully with other active dogs but is not a fan of cats, often barking at them in his foster home. He thrives on being part of the action and enjoys knowing what his humans are up to. For his wellbeing, he’d do best in a home with older, dog-savvy children who can respect his small size and need for some space. Charlie is learning to adjust to his new life after being neutered. While he has good house manners, his new family should expect a little marking as he settles in. He’s working hard on crate training and, with patience and consistency, will thrive in his new environment. He loves his walks, even pulling at times due to excitement. Continuing his leash training will help him become a better walking companion. Charlie can be vocal when he wants to alert his humans to anything unusual, making him a keen neighborhood watch dog. As a Yorkie/Poodle mix, Charlie requires regular grooming to keep his coat healthy and tangle-free. He’s not suitable for a tether or invisible fence, so a family dedicated to supervising his outdoor time is essential. If you seek a joyful and loving companion who can fill your life with happiness, Charlie may just be the right fit for you. This little ball of energy is ready to find his forever home and leave his past behind. Charlie is up-to-date on vaccinations, microchipped, and is scheduled for neutering soon.
