CHARLIE's Story
Charlie was scared when he first arrived at TJO, but he found his bravery and found some friends! This 5 month old wiggle monster is looking for some humans who will help him grow and learn how to be the happiest dog ever. He is a puppy and will likely continue to get bigger (most boxers are 50lbs+ once fully grown.) OTHER PETS: Charlie is interested in other dogs and wants to play with them, but he did meet some dogs whose play style was too intense for him. He would do best with another social dog who is playful but not intense. As with all our dogs, Charlie should meet any dogs he would be living with prior to adoption. [Likely (Must Meet First)] OWNER EXPERIENCE: Someone with experience owning a dog as well as with positive reinforcement would be best suited to handle the curveballs that come up with puppies as they learn new skills. [Some Experience] KIDS: Charlie is social, comfortable with handling, and has not engaged in resource guarding while at TJO. He is interested in human interaction and would likely get along with most humans; as with all our dogs Charlie should meet any minor humans he would be living with prior to adoption. [Likely (Must Meet First)] ACTIVITY LEVEL: Charlie still has lots of puppy energy and he will likely grow into an active dog, he would do best with regular exercise as well as plenty of mental stimulation and enrichment such as short play sessions, food puzzles, and games. Puppies also need a lot of sleep in between activities. [Good Walking Buddy / Olympic Athlete] VETERINARY CARE: [Routine] GROOMING: [Minimal] LEVEL OF TRAINING NEEDED: Positive reinforcement training will help Charlie bond with his new owner while learning life skills and fun tricks, as well as building confidence and resilience. [Moderate]
