Charlie Labrador Retriever & Pit Bull Terrier Mix Oakland, NJ

Charlie is a very skittish guy whose past is a mystery but has been through a lot recently. He was trapped by our friends at Buddha Rescue and Recovery after panicking and bolting from a new foster home through another rescue and surviving on his own in the woods for 10 days... previous he had been a stray in NYC who was captured by animal control with a broken pelvis and suffering from heatstroke! He was covered in old scars and we aren't sure how long he living feral on the streets or if he's ever had a "real home"
Charlie seemed to have never been on a leash before and would panic and try to escape or refuse to walk, but has been learning from following the other dogs and is starting to enjoy some walks. He is still very skittish with humans and hasn't learned to bond to people just yet but gets a little more comfortable each day. He is a major escape artist when he gets scared so will need a secure home with someone patient and committed to helping him feel safe and adjust to life in a real home for what may be the first time in his life. We think he is about 5 years old, 50lbs and a pit lab mix. Charlie's ideal home would be adults only and very quiet with maybe a larger more confident female dog he could continue to learn from and follow.
