About Charlie

Charlie is a 7-year-old Coton de Tulear who's looking for a stable and loving home after a difficult journey. Having been bounced around since he was a puppy, he's become cautious of strangers and hasn't had the best socialization experiences, particularly with children. He needs an experienced owner who can provide him with plenty of structure and support, as he's used to getting his own way. At 12.5 lbs, Charlie is a bit overweight, but he's house trained and gets along well with cats. While he's not yet comfortable with children, he thrives in a peaceful environment where he can slowly warm up. Most importantly, Charlie requires a lot of safety and stability to feel secure in his new home. He's neutered, vaccinated, and will be microchipped before adoption.
