Meet Char, an adorable 10-month-old black Goldendoodle/Labradoodle mix weighing in at approximately 46 lbs. She is starting her journey from a sheltered life into a more confident existence. Though shy and timid due to a lack of early socialization, Char is not aggressive. Instead, she needs a patient and caring person to help her realize the world can be a wonderful place. Initially frightened, Char required assistance navigating new experiences, including being carried to her foster home. With time, she has begun to show her playful side, enjoying walks in a fenced yard and seeking affection from trusted humans. Char would thrive in a quiet home with an experienced adopter who understands the nuances of shy dogs. Her ideal environment includes a secure yard for safe exploration, and she’d prefer a quieter household, possibly without very young children, although she does well with older kids. Char is kennel trained but is still learning house training. She's also untested with cats but gets along well with dogs of all sizes. With her stunning coat needing regular grooming, be ready for that commitment. Char's journey to confidence will take time and patience, but every little step forward is a testament to her potential. Her foster family believes she will blossom into a loving companion for the right person. If you could be the one to help Char continue her journey, come meet her!
