Male                                                   8 Years Old

55 pounds                                         Neutered

Hi there, my name is Charlie. As you can see, at about 55 lbs., I’m a sort of Pittie mix low rider. Don’t be intimidated by my mesmerizing good looks, my handsome physique. Just like Charlie Hunnam, (ok, an older version) my emotions and my loyalty run deep. I’m a lover not a fighter. I’d like nothing better than to snuggle up with you. Really, my favorite thing to do is snuggle up tight. I’m not just good with the ladies; I’m a man’s man too.

I was rescued about four months ago. My foster family knows me well, if you have questions. They’ll tell you it’s not my fault I’m in rescue. The family I’d lived with since I was young had issues. I was a victim. Hey, hard knocks, life goes on, I hold no grudges. I had a couple surgeries, one to remove a very large lump which I had when I was turned in at the shelter. As I said, hard knocks. Good news though, it was benign, no evidence of any others. Then a 2nd surgery because I was stupid and ingested something I shouldn’t have. I’m tough and survived that too. My fosters are very particular about the toys I’m allowed to have. Even more so what I’m not. What can I say, I have a bad habit. Could be worse.

At eight years old I’m considered a senior. I’m set in my ways but they’re agreeable and I’ve got a lot of good years left. Don’t count me out. In the summer I enjoy the sunshine, playing in the pool or sprinkler. I’m a perfect copilot if you’re up for a ride. Long walks with lots to investigate, you bet. Not big on cold, wet. I don’t freak out when it storms. Currently I have a foster brother who is considerably younger and can be kind of a punk. I can do without the punk part in my new home. Just like Aretha, I need a little R.E.S.P.E.C.T. I’m still the man.

I do have a happy go lucky side that I’ll share with you, too. Oh, by the way, this senior can make it to the fence to catch a darn squirrel just as fast as the punk.

I really am a laid back kinda dude, but I am anxious to get on to my own home & a family which more suits my needs. I’d really rather not be left alone all day, these are my golden years. I want to live them, maybe with a family with older kids coming and going, so I have more quality time; perhaps with someone semi-retired; maybe someone who works from home, even after the current situation is resolved? For my protection, I should have a house with a secure fenced yard. My foster brother and I are never left outside for long periods of time without being monitored closely or accompanied. That would be expected in my new home as well. My foster parents are looking for the best possible situation going forward and have things they’ll be looking for such similar breed experience; that’s be a big deal. My people will want to do a home check & probably have a few conversations. I trust them. Enough, fill out an application, talk to my peeps. Let’s make this happen. Home for the holidays!

Just so you know, I’ve been neutered for a long time, my vaccinations are all current & I take heartworm preventative. I am HW negative and want to keep it that way. I have a sensitive constitution and benefit from something for my joints, especially if I’ve overdone the exercising. Let’s talk.

Charlie has a special senior dog adoption fee of $150.
