Charlie

Charlie's story started with concerned citizens noticing him surviving alone on the streets. After nearly a month of patiently tracking him and trying to capture him, a professional was finally able to safely dart him for his foster to take him home. What his foster later learned was heartbreaking — after Charlie's owner passed away, he survived on his own for nearly 8 months. Since being rescued, Charlie has slowly learned what it feels like to be safe, cared for, and loved again. This gentle giant wants nothing more than affection and companionship. He is incredibly loving, enjoys giving hugs and kisses, and simply wants to feel included and secure. Charlie is calm, gentle, and has done great with children. He is also potty trained but prefers going #2 during walks rather than in the yard. He's acquired a taste of the good life and has a few favorite things, including but not limited to: cozy dog beds throughout the house, early mornings for breakfast, rotisserie chicken, wet and dry food mixed together, and long evening walks.

Charlie is a smart and food-motivated shepherd who is learning boundaries around food. He has occasionally tried grabbing food from the kitchen counter, but with consistency and redirection, he is improving daily. He does not enjoy car rides yet but will get into the car on his own. Slow introductions to other dogs and cats are recommended. He has shown curiosity toward the resident cat and does well calmly observing.
