Charlie Story

Charlie is a happy, loving boy who has been waiting for his forever home for a long time. He is full of life and loves to play with toys. His exuberant and playful nature is sure to bring joy and energy to any home.

Charlie gets along well with other dogs, making him an ideal companion for those with canine siblings. However, he is not a fan of cats, so a cat-free household is a must.
Charlie used to have a tendency to be possessive of his toys, but with dedication and training from the shelter staff, he has made significant improvements. He now responds to the ‘out’ command and is learning to share his toys.

Requirements for a New Home:
Charlie would do best in a home without children, as he may not be comfortable around them.
An experienced dog owner who can provide the necessary structure and consistency for Charlie to thrive. The new owner should be committed to continuing the positive reinforcement and training work that the shelter staff has started.

Charlie is a wonderful dog who deserves a loving forever home. His playful and loving nature makes him an ideal companion for someone who understands his needs and is willing to provide him with the support and care he requires. If you have the experience and dedication to help Charlie become a successful member of your family, he is ready to bring happiness and companionship to your life. Please consider giving Charlie the loving home he truly deserves. Charlie is about 5 years old and 73 pounds.

** We currently have 2 dogs with similar names. Please note that this is CHARLIE when filling out your application or making any inquiries about him.

Things to Consider

The fact that you’re thinking about adopting from an animal shelter means you’re a responsible and caring person. But BEFORE you make that decision to bring a furry friend into your life, take a moment to think over these questions:

Why do you want a pet?

It's amazing how many people fail to ask themselves this simple question before they get a pet. Adopting a pet just because it's "the thing to do" or because the kids have been pining for a puppy usually ends up being a big mistake. Don't forget that pets may be with you 10, 15, even 20 years.

Do you have time for a pet?

Dogs, cats, and other animal companions cannot be ignored just because you're tired or busy. They require food, water, exercise, care, and companionship every day of every year. Many animals in the shelter are there because their owners didn't realize how much time it took to care for them.

Can you afford a pet?

The costs of pet ownership can be quite high. Licenses, training classes, spaying and neutering, veterinary care, grooming, toys, food, kitty litter, and other expenses add up quickly.

Are you prepared to deal with special problems that a pet can cause?

Flea infestations, scratched-up furniture, accidents from animals who aren't yet housetrained, and unexpected medical emergencies are unfortunate but common aspects of pet ownership.

Can you have a pet where you live?

Many rental communities don't allow pets, and most of the rest have restrictions. Make sure you know what they are before you bring a companion animal home.

Is it a good time for you to adopt a pet?

If you have kids under six years old, for instance, you might consider waiting a few years before you adopt a companion. Pet ownership requires children who are mature enough to be responsible. If you're a student, in the military, or travel frequently as part of your work, waiting until you settle down is wise.

Are your living arrangements suitable for the animal you have in mind?

Animal size is not the only variable to think about here. For example, some small dogs such as terriers are very active-they require a great deal of exercise to be calm, and they often bark at any noise. On the other hand, some big dogs are laid back and quite content to lie on a sofa all day. Before adopting a pet, do some research. That way, you'll ensure you choose an animal who will fit into your lifestyle and your living arrangements.

Do you know who will care for your pet while you're away on vacation?

You'll need either reliable friends and neighbors or money to pay for a boarding kennel or pet-sitting service.

Will you be a responsible pet owner?

Having your pet spayed or neutered, obeying community leash and licensing laws, and keeping identification tags on your pets are all part of being a responsible owner. Of course, giving your pet love, companionship, exercise, a healthy diet, and regular veterinary care are other essentials.

Finally, are you prepared to keep and care for the pet for his or her entire lifetime?

When you adopt a pet, you are making a commitment to care for the animal for his or her lifetime.
