About Charlie

Meet Charlie, the loyal shadow you've been waiting for. This handsome Chihuahua mix is a bit cautious and takes time to trust new people, but once you earn his heart, you'll have a best friend for life. In familiar surroundings, he turns into a loving and affectionate companion who follows you everywhere, just wanting to be by your side. Charlie enjoys walks, car rides, tug toys, and simply cuddling during quiet moments together. His favorite activity? Being with his person. As a true Velcro dog, Charlie thrives on calm environments and needs slow introductions to build his confidence. He's a resilient little guy, gradually becoming braver each day. Charlie gets along well with dogs, especially calm playmates, and would fit best in a quiet home with patient adopters who understand shy dogs. He’s crate trained, knows the command “sit”, and enjoys positive reinforcement. Though he gets nervous in new situations and can be vocal when excited, his gentle demeanor suggests he may also do well with respectful older children. Remember, while Charlie may not win over everyone he meets upon first glance, his loyalty and love are worth the wait. If you're ready to meet this faithful companion and start your journey together, apply today!
