Charlie's Story

Charlie - Male - Cattle Dog/GSD/Husky/Super Mutt - 40lbs of Floof who's DOB is approximately 8/1/2018.<br/><br/>Charlie — Professional Road Tripper, Amateur Livestock Manager<br/><br/>Charlie’s story begins with a bit of a mystery.<br/><br/>In the middle of July, this handsome guy wandered onto a rural property hungry, muddy, and sporting enough matted hair to suggest he’d been on his own for a while. But underneath all of that was a friendly, well-mannered dog who clearly knew what it meant to belong to someone.<br/><br/>Charlie arrived already neutered. He knows basic commands. He walks on a leash. He understands a kennel. Open a car door and he hops right in and out like a seasoned road-trip professional. Somewhere along the way, someone taught Charlie how to be a family dog.<br/><br/>Unfortunately, despite exhausting every avenue available to locate his previous owner, no one ever came looking for him.<br/><br/>So, Charlie became a NALA Rescue dog — and now we get to help him find the family that won’t lose track of him.<br/><br/>Charlie is an affectionate, people-loving guy who wants to be part of whatever his humans are doing. Going for a walk? Charlie’s in. Taking a car ride? SHOTGUN. Opening a bag of snacks anywhere within a three-mile radius? Charlie has already reported for duty.<br/><br/>There is, however, one important thing you should know about our friend Charlie:<br/><br/>Charlie has places to go and people to meet.<br/><br/>Given the opportunity, this adventurous gentleman WILL wander off to see what the neighbors are doing. His future home will need a secure fence, or Charlie will need to remain leashed whenever he’s outside. His days as a free-range country dog are officially over.<br/><br/>Charlie also appears to have some strong herding-dog instincts. He attempts to herd the dogs and cats in his foster home, apparently believing someone has finally hired him to bring a little order to the place.<br/><br/>The resident animals have informed management that they did not request his services.<br/><br/>Because of this, Charlie may be happiest as the only pet in his home. A home experienced with herding breeds—or with resident animals who won’t be bothered by his need to supervise everybody—could also be a possibility with appropriate introductions.<br/><br/>At his core, Charlie is exactly what so many people are looking for: a friendly, devoted companion who already knows the basics and absolutely loves being with his people.<br/><br/>His past may be a mystery, but we know what Charlie would like his future to include:<br/><br/>Walkies. Snackies. Car rides. His own people. And preferably absolutely no unsupervised opportunities to embark on another cross-country adventure.<br/><br/>Charlie has already done enough wandering.<br/><br/>Now he just needs somewhere worth staying. <br/>_____________________________<br/><br/>The Adoption Fee (Tax Deductible Donation) is $150.<br/><br/>If you're interested in adopting, you will need to complete an ADOPTION APPLICATION through NALA Rescue. Here is the dog adoption application link: <br/><br/>https://nalarescue.org/adopt/dog-adoption-application/<br/><br/>Please note a Vet Check and Home Inspection are part of the application process.<br/><br/>NALA Rescue is a home-based foster rescue and does not have a facility. If interested in meeting a dog, please apply at www.nalarescue.org. All dog meets are scheduled by appointment in advance only, if approved.<br/><br/>All vaccines, boosters, rabies, spay/neuter, and microchip are included in NALA Rescues Adoption Donation charges. All dogs/puppies are available until they are removed from this site so please no inquires if a dog is available.
