About Charlie

Charlie is an approximately 2-year-old German Shepherd who arrived as a stray, previously accompanied by his Labrador friend, who has since found a forever home. Now, it’s Charlie’s time to shine. He's the classic German Shepherd: intelligent, loyal, and eager to form a deep bond. Charlie is sweet but tends to be vocal around unfamiliar dogs and people. With proper guidance, he is already learning quickly, improving his barking and mouthiness behaviors, which are typical for his breed. Charlie does well with younger female dogs in supervised settings but cannot live with small pets or children. He already knows 'sit' and is working hard on his leash manners while trying out an 'indoor voice' when passing strangers. This handsome fellow is brimming with potential for the right home—someone who understands his needs and can provide stability, training, and affection. If you’re seeking a devoted friend with so much to offer, Charlie might just be your perfect match. Let’s make it official, apply to adopt!
