About Charlie

Meet Charlie, your potential new best friend! This charming sheltie mix, approximately 5 years old, has a medium energy level and loves being near his humans. He has a gentle and playful nature, especially with his pals at the rescue. Though he’s being adopted individually, having another playful dog around could enhance his happiness. Charlie is making great strides with potty training and shows promise in adapting to a new home. He's still learning to enjoy a fenced yard, requiring a bit of encouragement to step onto the grass. Once there, he tends to potty right away, demonstrating that he’s adjusting. His nurturing foster home has provided him comfort, and he’s eager for guidance when faced with new situations. During the day, he’s crated when left alone, and he happily enters his crate for treats. Although Charlie has not been tested with cats, his friendly disposition suggests he could do well with proper introductions. He has some patchy areas from his past, but his coat is starting to flourish again. Charlie fits well into various family dynamics. With gentle licks, he’ll make you feel like you’re his whole world. If you’re ready for a loyal companion, he’s waiting for you to take him home. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
