Charlie Jr.

Meet Charlie Jr. — A Gentle, Affectionate Shadow Looking for His Forever Family<br/><br/>Charlie Jr. (also lovingly known as The Lorax or Charles Dickens) is a warm-hearted, gentle dog who adores people of all ages and gets along beautifully with other dogs who share his soft, friendly nature. He’s wonderful with kids, playful with dogs of all ages, and happiest when he’s surrounded by those he trusts.<br/><br/>Personality and Temperament:<br/>Charlie Jr. is a sensitive, loving boy who has leaned heavily on his foster’s dog, Luna, to build confidence. The two are inseparable. He watches her closely, follows her everywhere, and mirrors everything she does like a little shadow. Their bond has been a huge source of comfort for him and has helped him truly come out of his shell.<br/><br/>He thrives on routine and settled into his foster home within days. Once he feels safe, he is deeply loyal. He prefers to stay close to his people at all times—sitting on a lap during the workday or curling up beside a trusted human on the floor. At night, he’s all about snuggles and is more than happy to share the bed with dogs (and sometimes kids too).<br/><br/>Charlie is tender, affectionate, and very handsome—and he absolutely believes that he deserves at least 1,000 kisses and hugs every single day.<br/><br/>Home Routine and Behaviour:<br/>Charlie Jr. started out using the crate but quickly showed that he prefers the freedom to stay near his people. His fosters have not needed to crate him when leaving the house; he has earned a high level of trust. The crate stays open with toys, but more often than not, he and Luna can be found curled up on the couch living their best lives.<br/><br/>He does use his voice when startled by quick movements or new sounds, so adopters should be prepared for a bit of expressive communication while he continues gaining confidence.<br/><br/>Training and Skills:<br/>Charlie Jr. is a good eater, enjoys grooming, and handles nail trims and brushing with no issues. He is bell-trained, which means the sound of jingling bells is a cheerful, daily occurrence in the household.<br/><br/>He loves going for walks but still needs some work on leash manners, as he tends to pull. His size makes this very manageable, and walking alongside Luna has helped him improve.<br/><br/>Charlie Jr. is a loving, sensitive dog who thrives when surrounded by people. His ideal home includes:<br/><br/>- Another dog in the home is a must for Charlie Jr. <br/><br/>- A fenced yard where he can run, explore, and enjoy being off leash<br/><br/>- A family that enjoys snuggles, closeness, and a dog who wants to be by their side<br/><br/>- He has not been cat tested.<br/><br/>If you’re hoping for a dog who will follow you with love, bring warmth into your home, and stay loyally by your side, Charlie Jr. may be the perfect match.
