About Charlie

Meet Charlie, a sweet and shy Akita/German Shepherd mix who came to us as a owner surrender. This lovely girl is about a year old and weighs around 52.5 lbs. She has a medium energy level, making her a great companion for those who enjoy a good balance of activity and relaxation. Charlie's shy nature means she'll blossom with patience and love in a home that understands her needs.

Ideal Home

Charlie would thrive in any home that can offer her a quiet and understanding environment. Apartments are not recommended for her.

Ongoing Health

No specific health conditions were noted in Charlie's description. As with any new pet, it's always a good idea to schedule a veterinary check-up soon after adoption.

Training & Support

Charlie is a shy girl, so she will benefit from a patient and consistent approach to training. It's important to remember that behaviors can change in a new home environment, and adopters should be prepared for potential house-training and basic manners reinforcement.
