About Charlie

Meet Charlie, a charming little guy seeking a loving home! He is about 3 years old and weighs around 5 lbs. Charlie came to us as an owner surrender; his previous dad worked from home but had to change his routine. Consequently, Charlie developed anxiety related to being left alone. Currently, he’s been in a foster home where someone is always around, and we believe he would thrive best in a similar situation. Ideally, we’re looking for an adopter who works from home or can take him along. A friendly resident dog might help ease his anxiety when no one is home. His long, luxurious coat means he will need regular grooming to keep him looking his best. Charlie gets along well with both dogs and cats, making him a delightful addition to a family or multi-pet household. This precious boy is ready to find his forever lap to curl up on.
