Charles

Charles looks like somebody stretched a five-pound stuffed animal into the shape of a real dog and accidentally gave it the emotional depth of a divorced park ranger. This lanky little Terrier mix was born January 23rd and has somehow become both the tallest and the clingiest member of Macie’s Babies, which is a dangerously lovable combination. While the rest of the puppies are outside conducting full-contact backyard nonsense and launching themselves through the grass like tiny stuntmen, Charles has dedicated himself to a different lifestyle entirely: being held like a baby at all times possible. You pick this puppy up and he just melts. Not halfway either. Fully. Like warm butter on a dinner roll. Charles settles into your arms like he finally made it home from a long career working offshore oil rigs and will stay there peacefully for as long as you’ll let him, perfectly content just being close to you. Charles was fluffier than the rest of the litter from the very beginning, and now with his longer legs and scruffy little coat, he looks like a tiny dog somebody sketched from memory after seeing a terrier once in 1997. We suspect he may actually be the son of another dog we rescued off the same property named Tuffy because the resemblance is wild. Same soft affectionate personality. Same sweet face. Same “I would like to become emotionally codependent with my family immediately” energy. Tuffy is gray and white. Charles showed up looking like a toasted cinnamon Pop-Tart with legs. This puppy is special. He’s playful, social, deeply affectionate, and already has that rare quality where he feels naturally connected to people. Outside, he loves playing with the other dogs, exploring the yard, wrestling with his siblings, and participating in whatever important tiny puppy business is happening that day. But inside? He settles beautifully and seems happiest just being near his people. Their mama Macie is only around 15 lbs, so we do not expect these babies to get very big, but Charles already feels like one of those once-in-a-blue-moon dogs people talk about for years. He feels like porch naps, warm laundry, little feet following you room to room, and looking down one day realizing your entire household revolves around a five-pound scruffy creature named Charles.

Ideal Home

We would especially love to see Charles go into a home with another playful pup because he absolutely loves other dogs and naturally gravitates toward companionship. As with all of our rescues, we recommend homes with children 10 years and over to ensure the best fit for both the pets and families involved.
