About Charlie

Meet Charlie, previously known as Silk! This 10-year-old Yellow Lab embodies love and affection, making him the perfect couch companion. Weighing in at an impressive 560 lbs, Charlie has mastered the art of relaxation and is happiest when he's near his foster mom. He’s housebroken, gets along well with dogs and children, and enjoys his daily walks. With a sweet and gentle personality, he brings joy to everyone around him. Charlie can be a bit shy, needing a patient family who understands his temperament. He thrives in a calm home where he can be your loyal shadow. After completing his heartworm treatment, he is ready for his forever home. While he hasn't yet met cats, he gets along well with his foster siblings and is learning to navigate meetings with new dogs while on walks. Fun facts about Charlie include his unique way of walking, which is endearingly pigeon-toed, and his lack of a tail—though the nub that wags when he's happy makes up for it! He’s well-versed in commands like ‘wait’ and ‘cookie’, and he adores his nightly massages to unwind. If you're seeking a gentle, loving buddy who enjoys the quieter side of life, Charlie might be the one for you. He needs a home that will provide the time and patience to help him settle in. To meet this wonderful boy, reach out to Cody's Friends Rescue today. He’s ready to find his perfect match! Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
