Charlotte Whippet & Boxer Mix New Orleans, LA

Hi, I'm Charlotte! Sometimes my foster family calls my Char Bear. I'm told I am a whippet mix and just over one year old. I had a really rough start to life as I was found abandoned on a property with my siblings. I am said to be a fighter with a strong will because I battled a case of parvovirus and just successfully finished my Heartworm treatment. If I didn't tell you all of that, you probably would have never known because of my happy go lucky spirit.

I love getting lots of attention and giving lots of kisses. And am working on this thing my humans call "personal space" (who needs that with me around anyways?!). I am house-trained and working on basic commands such as sit, stay, down, outside, and in (for my kennel). I am not a fan of the word "no", however I do listen and follow directions after giving some typical teenage attitude. I can't help it, its my age. I used to hate the kennel, but my foster siblings have helped me get more comfortable being there during the day while my people are away. If I am in the kennel for too long during the day then I might get bored so it's good if I have some things I am allowed to chew on. I am quickly learning proper house etiquette with lots of redirection and positive rewards. My foster mom has even started to let me sleep in a dog bed in her room! I am truly starting this freedom! It helps if I have some heavy duty chew toys for the times that I wake up at night. But, usually I sleep through the night.

I LOVE being outside sun bathing, splashing in the kiddie pool, and sometimes stomping around in muddy puddles when the rain rolls in. If you enjoy taking walks then I am the girl for you... I LOVE going for walks!!! My foster mom says that I would be great for family that loves outdoor things. Like most Whippets I am content with moderate exercise and enjoy short bursts of play. My friendly disposition makes me a good family pet, and I am good with kids, dogs, and even cats! I am going to make some special humans very lucky in my new forever home.
