Charlie Bear

My story

Poor Charlie Bear was adopted from Rbari 7 years ago and is in urgent need of a new home. His owner passed, and those caring for him in her absence can no longer do so. He's a friendly mid-sized 8 year old mixed breed, has been very friendly meeting all people according to his caretakers. Unfortunately he was never socialized properly with dogs and is reactive, especially toward larger ones he sees on walks. Recently he got loose and picked a fight he couldn't finish with a much larger dog being walked by... the other dog was uninjured but poor Charlie needed surgery to suture multiple wounds. He's healed now and back to his normal happy self around people. Dogs like Charlie are the hardest to find homes for and have the hardest time in a shelter setting surrounded by dogs when they don't like other animals. One on one he's a great dog, just isn't a dog who can socialize with neighbors' and family members' dogs, go to dog parks, or be walked in areas with a lot of dogs. He would be perfectly content just hanging in his house and yard with his people and is actually an easy and lovable dog in the right setting where he doesn't have to be stressed out worried about the threat of constantly seeing other dogs walking by.
