Charlie

My story

Charlie | Lab and Carolina Dog mix | Almost 2 years old | 62 lb | GTA Charlie is the sweetest thing on three legs! This lovable, gentle tripod boy is relaxed, easygoing, and happy to be here. Charlie had a difficult start in life: he was severely neglected and left tied to a tree. Not only was he starving, he had also broken a leg and it healed improperly because he was never seen by a vet. His early life likely consisted of a lot of pain due to this damaged leg, but thankfully one of our rescue partners found him and committed to finding him proper veterinary care and eventually a new home. Charlie's leg was amputated and he is now so happy to be pain-free and well cared for! He gets along on three legs with no issues, and he is the most loving and trusting dog despite his challenging beginning. Charlie loves to go on walks and will jump around excitedly when he sees his leash. He doesn't pull on walks but he will do an excited (and very graceful) spin move. Charlie is a real dreamboat in the house: he's comfortable chilling out in his crate, happily comes when he calls, greets visitors in a friendly way, and is fine with being bathed. He follows you from room to room because he likes to be close but has no separation anxiety and can calm down on his own. Charlie doesn't bark, beg, chew things he shouldn't, resource guard, or have accidents in the house. He's also calm with other dogs. Charlie is very affectionate and loves to be pet. He is genuinely excited to see his people each and every time they appear. Charlie was made for a soft life: at his foster's, he even grabbed a towel, dragged it over to the living room, and pulled it over himself, making his own cozy nest to watch TV.
