s ready for something new—whether it’s sticking his head into the elevator just to see what’s inside, cautiously inspecting a suspicious sidewalk cone, or mastering new tricks with enthusiasm. He already knows “sit,” “paw,” and “nose,” and responds well to gentle redirection (especially when snacks are involved).
He’s also a total lovebug! Charlie adores his people and has no problem asking for affection—he’ll nuzzle in for kisses, lean his full body against you for pets, and snooze nearby like a cozy weighted blanket. While he can be playful and goofy, he’s equally content to lounge around while you work or relax at home.
Charlie's foster parents call him "the best workout buddy," and he loves a jog! He’s shown a polite interest in other dogs and is generally friendly with new people after a brief warm-up. With continued guidance and a little structure, Charlie’s already wonderful personality will only grow brighter. Ready to fall in love?
