Charlie- loving goofball

Charlie is with our partner rescue in LA and can come to NJ with an approved foster or adopter

Charlie is ready for the good life—and he’d like it to include friends, car rides, and an excellent chew-toy collection.

F ound roaming the streets of Lake Charles, Charlie was terribly thin, scared, and suffering from a painful embedded collar. A kind hotel worker spotted him and put out a plea for help. Rescuers answered, got him to the vet, and gave this sweet boy a fresh start. Now Charlie is discovering that being a dog can actually be pretty wonderful! He can be shy when meeting new people, but give him a little time and reassurance, and his inner goofball clocks in. Once he feels safe, he’s a sweet, silly sidekick with plenty of personality and laughs to share.

A few things to know about your potential new best friend: He gets along beautifully with other dogs. Cats are welcome in his friendship circle, too! He’s a quiet, easygoing car companion—ready for adventure or a very important snack run. He’s still learning his puppy manners, including the fact that human hands are not approved chew toys. His foster family is helping him practice, and he’s eager to please and making great progress! Charlie is looking for patient, loving people who will let him settle in at his own pace and continue his positive-reinforcement training. He’s had enough rough days. Now he’s ready for belly laughs, a sense of security, and a family who thinks his brand of ridiculous is exactly what their home was missing.

Charlie is up to date on vaccines and tested negative for heartworm. He has been neutered and microchipped. His adoption fee is $600.

Adopting a dog is a commitment that will require annual veterinary care at a minimum, training, exercise, enrichment, etc. Pet care is not cheap or easy and adopters should consider the costs, time and training prior to adoption. After all these dogs have been through, they deserve a loving, committed home.
