Description

Dog Breed: Shih Tzu. Sweet Charlie is a special furbaby who is shy. Charlie loves people. He will carefully approach his human, give them a kiss on the hand, and welcome a pet on his head. But he prefers to be the one to initiate the contact. If approached or picked up when he’s not expecting it, he may hurry away. Charlie is also playful and really enjoys burying toys under a blanket or pillow. He can entertain himself for quite a while with this activity! Another behavior that can be managed by a patient adopter is Charlie’s habit of getting into cabinets or trash cans or onto tables/countertops in search of food. Charlie LOVES to eat and is super smart when it comes to finding food so keeping food stored out of his reach or blocking access to the kitchen with dog/baby gates helps reduce that behavior. Charlie is housetrained and used to taking regular outside breaks in a fenced backyard. Having access to a fenced yard is important for Charlie because he can be nervous on walks and easily spooked by sounds like a car engine. For this reason, CHR is requiring that his adopter have a secure fenced yard. If there are other dogs in the home, you’ll be happy to know that Charlie gets along with most dogs but he will bark at any dog who tries to climb into bed next to him when he is resting. Charlie has made amazing progress while he’s been with his foster mom and is learning to be more relaxed, but we know from experience that it will take more time to address his fearfulness. A patient adopter who doesn’t force Charlie into situations that make him uncomfortable will help Charlie continue to improve and gain more confidence. application: fs8.formsite/Caringhearts/form1/index
