About Charlie

Charlie is looking for his person! Meet Charlie, a handsome 2-and-a-half-year-old Belgian Malinois–Shepherd mix with a big heart. Rescued from a shelter where he was emaciated, Charlie is now on a path to a brighter future, thanks to his caring foster family. This sweet boy has formed bonds with his foster and her daughter, and he gets along well with other animals in the home, including cats. While Charlie has a lot to offer, he does need a bit of extra understanding. He can be fearful of strangers and is actively working with a professional trainer to build his confidence. With patience, consistency, and ongoing training, he is making great progress and will continue to blossom. We're seeking an experienced and patient adopter who understands intelligent working breeds and is ready to continue Charlie's training in a structured environment. He may require more work than the average dog, but he absolutely deserves someone who will celebrate his achievements and help him shine. Share his story and believe in Charlie. Help him find his forever home! Ready to give Charlie his second chance? Please reach out!
