About Charlie

Charlie is a happy and intelligent boy around 18 months to 2 years old, weighing 56 lbs, though he still has some weight to gain. He was found dumped on an elderly couple's property earlier this year, and unfortunately, they can no longer care for him. Charlie is very social and gets along wonderfully with dogs, cats, chickens, and even goats. His love for kids makes him a great addition to any family! He walks well on a leash, is housebroken, and is a quick learner, picking up new commands rapidly. While he's not a fan of being crated, his many positive qualities more than compensate for it. Neutered and heartworm negative, Charlie recently had a vet check-up that revealed an old, healed gunshot injury to his back leg, with a few remaining pellets. He doesn't seem to be in pain, but joint supplements are recommended to help his knee. After all he's been through, Charlie is ready for a loving family to provide him with the security and happiness he truly deserves. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
