Charlie's Story

Dog Name: Charlie<br/><br/>Breed: American Bully<br/><br/>Sex: F<br/><br/>Age: She will be 4 in November.<br/><br/>Weight: 60 lbs ish.<br/><br/>Medical Needs: None<br/><br/>Housebroken: Yes, as long as kept on a regular schedule.<br/><br/>Crate trained: Yes, she loves her crate. She spends a lot of time in there relaxing throughout the day with the door open.<br/><br/>Good in the car: Charlie rides pretty well, but should be tethered to something so she isn't climbing all over the car and you.<br/><br/>Good on a leash: With a prong, yes. Without it she weaves all over and will pull, especially if she sees something that excites her.<br/><br/>Energy level: She's either at a 2 or a 10 . She chills with the best of them most of the time, but when she gets a wild hair up her arse...watch out. My girl is coming in hot, and has absolutely no regard for your knees.<br/><br/>Need a fenced in yard: Yes. There's no way she'd be able to do her zoomies while leashed.<br/><br/>Dog Friendly: She does well with the Yorkie she interacts with daily at home, and with other dogs socially/in passing. But, when it comes to the other dogs in the house (her and the Yorkie are separated), it's hit or miss. She gets easily overwhelmed by them, and does not put up with anything that could be construed or perceived as assertive or dominate behavior. She is quick to put other dogs in their place, and will not back down if challenged. <br/><br/>Uf yes, does your foster need another dog in its adoptive homes? At this time we are not comfortable placing Charlie into a home with other dogs.<br/><br/>Cat Friendly? Yes, but will pounce at and chase for fun<br/><br/>Charlie is easily redirected when she does this.<br/><br/>Kid Friendly: Our youngest is 9 and she does well with him.<br/><br/>If yes, what's the youngest child you'd recommend they be placed with? Age 8 and up. As mentioned earlier, she can be a big baby, so kids old enough to understand to give her space as she's acclimating would be best.<br/><br/>Special traits that make your foster special or that we need to know about them?<br/><br/>Charlie came to us from a breeder surrender in 2021 with 17 other kennel mates.<br/><br/>She was adopted, and is very loved by the family that fostered her when she first came up.<br/><br/>Since then, there have been many significant life changes for her family. Changes that are preventing Charlie from living her best life<br/><br/>For that reason, we have decided to find her the forever home that's best for her.<br/><br/>Charlie came to us rather unsocialized, with a bit of stranger danger.<br/><br/>She has made a lot of progress over the past 3 years, but she can still be weary of both new people and loud boisterous males. Our guess is this goes back to whatever she experienced prior to coming to GRR.<br/><br/>Charlie is an absolute gem. She's affectionate, comical and so much fun to be around. She deserves the best, and we just can't give it to her here...<br/><br/>We are hoping to find her a low key family that loves and appreciates Bullies as much as we do.<br/><br/>Also hoping her new family isn't far from Milton so we are close enough to offer support if needed.<br/><br/>Fosters Location: Milton, DE<br/><br/>Application can be found here: https://www.grrde.org/adoption-application (if you already have an approved application on file email GrassRootsDE@gmail.com and ask the app team to pull your app
