Charlie's Story

Meet Charlie<br/><br/>10-month-old Shih Tzu mix with a big personality in a little body.<br/><br/>Charlie is friendly with just about everyone — he’s lived with kids (7–18), dogs, cats, and even farm animals, and has done well with all. He’s a social, happy little guy who loves being part of the action.<br/><br/>He walks nicely on a leash and enjoys getting out, but he’ll need to stay leashed since he may wander. He’s crate trained (sleeps in his kennel at night) and still working on potty training like any young pup.<br/><br/>Charlie loves toys (especially plush and squeaky), enjoys playing with other dogs, and is always ready to hop in the car and go wherever you’re headed.<br/><br/>He can have a little separation anxiety, so he’ll do best with a home that can give him consistency and help him settle in.<br/><br/>If you’re looking for a fun, affectionate little companion who wants to be right by your side — Charlie’s your guy.

Meet Charlie

10-month-old Shih Tzu mix with a big personality in a little body.

Charlie is friendly with just about everyone — he’s lived with kids (7–18), dogs, cats, and even farm animals, and has done well with all. He’s a social, happy little guy who loves being part of the action.

He walks nicely on a leash and enjoys getting out, but he’ll need to stay leashed since he may wander. He’s crate trained (sleeps in his kennel at night) and still working on potty training like any young pup.

Charlie loves toys (especially plush and squeaky), enjoys playing with other dogs, and is always ready to hop in the car and go wherever you’re headed.

He can have a little separation anxiety, so he’ll do best with a home that can give him consistency and help him settle in.

If you’re looking for a fun, affectionate little companion who wants to be right by your side — Charlie’s your guy.
