About Charlie

A fenced yard is essential for him to burn off some steam. Charlie enjoys a good playtime session but also knows how to relax and hang out. He would benefit from obedience classes to boost his confidence. Ideally, he needs a family that’s home more often than not. He is already house trained and has his vaccinations up to date.
