About Charlie

Charlie is a delightful 4.5-month-old Hound/Boxer mix, currently weighing in at 18 pounds. He's already neutered and set to grow to about 45 pounds. This playful puppy is part of a foster-to-adopt program, perfect for those looking to make a solid commitment from the outset. He’s known for being friendly and gets along well with other dogs, including a 75-pound Boxer companion in his current foster home. Charlie is learning the ropes of being a puppy, happily engaging in outdoor plays with toys and wrestling with his furry friends. He exhibits medium energy, ready to romp around or also take a break for a cozy nap. Although he's a social butterfly among adults, he's a bit timid with new people at first, which shows his gentle nature. Charlie is familiar with basic commands like ‘sit’ and ‘no,’ and he’s completely potty trained, making outdoor breaks manageable. His foster home reports that he’s pretty well-behaved in a crate and is not prone to separation anxiety. This boy needs a bit of structure as he adapts to life. An intermediate-level owner is ideal, someone who can provide plenty of daily exercise and mental stimulation for Charlie. He seems to enjoy the company of kids and might thrive in a family with children aged 8 and up. If you think you have the time and understanding to help Charlie grow, you might just find him irresistible. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
