UT/Charlie

My story

Hello Brittany lovers… Charlie here and I'm looking for my furever home!  I am an energetic, very sweet 4-year-old who loves running outside as well as snuggling on the couch with my family.   At 50 pounds (down from 61lbs), I'm a big , strong love of a dog! For the first 3 ½ years of my life I was the constant companion to a single owner. When my dad unexpectedly died, I found myself in the shelter in Northern Utah. Luckily for me - the shelter reached out to NBRAN, and I landed in a loving foster home. I have easily settled in with my foster family, getting along very well with the 4 resident springers and adjusting to a more structured lifestyle. I'm very friendly, and love my school-aged, well-mannered foster grandkids as well as all visitors. I have no issues with resource guarding my food or toys, and I know how to use a dog door. I really don't like being in a kennel at all, but I can be left alone in the house for several hours without causing any damage (although I would prefer to go with you!). At night I sleep on a dog bed in my foster parents’ bedroom with one of my foster brothers beside me, but I would love to sleep on the bed with you. I was cat tested at the shelter and did well.  Although I have had no formal training, my foster Mom says that I am an exceptionally quick learner. True to my breed, I love to run and have a high prey drive. Also true to my breed, I love being with my people and am very friendly and loving.  I walk well on leash - unless I see and bird - then I pull hard! I do well playing with my foster siblings in a fenced area.  I will need a home with a good-sized yard that is securely fenced (6 feet height) because if left to my own devices, I will attempt to go on escapades by myself.    Car rides are the best thing since sliced bread - and I love going uptown with my foster Dad! Speaking of sliced bread - don't leave any on the counter! Although I get along well with the resident dogs, I would also do well as an only dog. I love, love, love attention! The adoption fee for Charlie is $400.  Charlie is neutered, current on his vaccinations and microchipped.
