Charm's Story

Charm is a beautiful 4-year-old black Tri Australian Shepherd with a nub tail, a super sweet personality, and a very fitting name. She is currently in Chesapeake, VA, and is looking for a new home through no fault of her own.<br/>Charm is deeply loved by her owner, who has made the difficult decision to ask ARMA for help because his work schedule has him away from home for long days. He wants Charm to have the time, attention, exercise, and love she deserves.<br/>Charm is friendly, affectionate, and social. She may bark a bit when greeting someone new, but she settles and warms up quickly. During her ARMA evaluation, she accepted treats and pets, allowed gentle handling, and was comfortable being brushed and touched on her ears, head, back, and legs.<br/>This pretty girl LOVES a tennis ball! Once the ball came out during her evaluation, Charm happily chased, returned, dropped the ball on command, sat, and waited for the next throw. She is active, playful, and would love a home where she can get regular walks, yard time, playtime, and enrichment.<br/>Charm has done well meeting other dogs and showed no signs of aggression during her evaluation. She was happy to interact with dogs. She can get excited when she sees other dogs, so continued leash manners and structure will help her be her best self.<br/>Charm is housebroken, crate trained, rides well in the car, and knows several commands, including sit, lay down, drop it, leave it, and down. She is spayed, microchipped, and up to date on vaccines. <br/>Charm is NOT cat-tolerant -- no kitty cats or other small animals. She has not been around children, so ARMA is looking for an adult home for Charm.<br/>Charm would do best with someone who enjoys time outside, can provide regular exercise, has a fenced yard, and is willing to help her continue working on leash manners and a healthy weight. She has so much love to give and just needs the right person or family to give her the attention she has been missing.<br/>If you are an approved ARMA adopter, please reach out to the volunteer with whom you've been working. If you would like to be approved to adopt Charm, please fill out the application on our website: [www.aussierescueofthemidatlantic.org] (http://www.aussierescueofthemidatlantic.org/
