About Charlie

Charlie was surrendered to Frosted Faces when his owner could no longer care for him. This transition has been challenging since they were inseparable since he was just a puppy. Despite the upheaval, Charlie is a sweet and loving boy seeking affection, companionship, and plenty of playtime. He loves going for walks, playing fetch, and enjoying moments with his favorite stuffed animals, which he eagerly fetches. Trips to the beach are among his favorite activities, and he has a special fondness for kids. Charlie is ready to share all his love with a new family that will cherish him and help him feel secure and wanted again. He would bring joy to whoever is lucky enough to make him a part of their family. Might it be you?
