Charlie - Jack Russell Terrier / Beagle / Mixed (short coat) Dog For Adoption

I like to think they are merit badges, each reflecting an experience that helped shape me into the young dog I am today. I am Charlie, a one year old Jack Russell mix and I am ready for my very own family. A few months ago I was left in the drop box at the Santa Rosa shelter with my seven litter mates. I was terrified and hungry and may not have made a good first impression. I watched all my littermates leave but no one wanted to give me a chance. Finally, someone from FLUFF Animal Rescue took me away from there on my Freedom Ride. At first, I didn't trust this family. There were other dogs and people and I didn't know how to act. I am learning, though. I get along with the other dogs now, as long as they don't get close to my toys. I love when the people pet me if they let me come to them. I am even learning to ride in cars, and love when we go to the park but I am still not sure about a leash. I hope there is someone looking for a brave, little survivor like me. I have so much love to share and I want my own home and family soon. Charlie is certainly a cute little guy. He has not had an easy first year of life but you would never know that by the joy he displays as he greets you. Charlie and 7 littermates were left in the drop box at the Santa Rosa animal shelter with no history. They were terrified of human contact and Charlie didn't like sharing his tiny space with his littermates. They separated him from the others so he was basically in solitary confinement for several months. Despite this rough beginning, Charlie is so loving and playful you would never know what a difficult beginning he had. Charlie loves his humans but doesn't seem to like sharing with other doggies yet. He is just learning how to play with toys and accept petting. He is very anxious and easily frighted by quick movements so needs someone who will be patient. Charlie is learning to like the leash and even has begun running around with the other dogs in the home. Even after just a few days, Charlie is learning his routine and his boundaries. He is SO excited when he sees his foster mom in the morning that it makes her smile. He enjoys exploring the back yard but only if his human is near by. Charlie is neutered, up to date on his shots, heart worm negative and has no health problems other than a small wound on his leg from his rough early days. He will be an amazing addition to some lucky home, but may need a little time and patience to adjust.
