CHARLIE BROWN - LABRADOR RETRIEVER / RETRIEVER / MIXED (SHORT COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Labrador Retriever / Retriever / Mixed (short coat). CHARLIE BROWN HAS NOT COMPLETED HIS VETTING AND WILL NOT BE NEUTERED UNTIL FEBRUARY 5, 2026. APPLICATIONS ARE ONLY BEING ACCEPTED FROM WITHIN A 30 MINUTE RADIUS OF DES MOINES UNTIL AFTER HE HAS BEEN NEUTERED. Charlie is an approximate 3-month-old 31 lb., mixed breed puppy. He may have some Labrador and other Retriever breeds in him. Based upon his current size he will likely be very large when full grown. Charlie is a thoughtful, observant pup who likes to take his time getting comfortable in new situations. He can be a little shy at first, but once he warms up, his sweet personality really shines. One of his favorite things? Being outside—especially in the snow! He loves patrolling the yard, taking in all the sights and smells, and embracing his inner explorer (even when it’s cold). Charlie is doing well with crate training and potty training and is currently thriving in a foster home with other dogs and cats. He’s also had positive experiences with visiting children. Because he’s expected to grow into a large dog, Charlie will benefit from an adopter who is patient and committed to helping him build confidence and learn good manners as he grows. With consistency, encouragement, and time, he’s going to be a wonderful, loyal companion. Siblings: Piper (F) Ivy (F) Sally (F) Charlie Brown (M) If you are interested in meeting Charlie, please complete an online application at hopeanimalrescueofiowa.duplie/forms/196/dog-application Adoption fee is $300 which includes spay/neuter, microchip, and age appropriate vaccines.
