About Charlie

Charlie is a friendly, affectionate dog looking for a new forever home. At just over 2 years old, he has transitioned from being an outdoor-only pup to a family dog who thrives on couch time. Though his previous owners believed he might be a Black Labrador mix, they also noted traits of a German Shorthaired Pointer in him. He’s a playful guy who enjoys running and spending time with his people. While he doesn’t care much for water, Charlie loves to greet new friends and gets along well with other dogs. He has a quirky trait of wanting to carry small animals in his mouth, but he’s definitely not aggressive towards them. Charlie is house trained and knows basic commands, although he has a habit of nibbling on blankets and pillows, necessitating some crate time at night. This smart boy is ready to be part of a loving family again. His previous owners are heartbroken but hopeful he finds a perfect match soon. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and let's get started.
