Charlie
Here's a Charlie update....He's doing very good. He is learning remarkably fast. He was house trained the first day, and has learned to sit down when asked. He's chasing the cats when they run, but were working on that. Hondo still don't care for him much, but they still live together. We decided to get him a crate due to the cat chasing, so we hope that will help to introduce him to them without him being able to run after them.

A special thank you goes out to Charlie's sponsor: Philip Starr. Rebecca Kuk in loving memory of her beloved Oscar the GSD. Cheryl Smith in honor of King.

Charlie

Adopted July 2007

Charlie was picked up as stray and never reclaimed. He is young and very energetic. He is very puppy and in need of dog obedience and a strong trainer. Charlie is a handsome and nice fellow, working on socialization and snuggles. He bonds readily to those that care for him and becomes protective.

He is still very, very puppy, so he needs a home to train and love him. Smaller children could be knocked over due to his size, excitement, and need for training. He has a very good personality and is strong and confident.
