About Charlie
Hi! I’m Charlie and I’m looking for a new family to call my own.
APPLICATION PROCESS APPLIES FOR CHARLIE
PLEASE COMPLETE THE BELOW APPLICATION FORM
https://forms.gle/Dp8GgphfgyNaUJMs5
NOTE: You are unable to meet Charlie until/unless you have been notified that you are a successful applicant. An adoption cannot be approved unless you are able to come to the shelter to meet Charlie in person and bring any dogs you currently have with you.
Small
Weight: 14.3kg
What I need in my new home:
• Daily walks, trips to the park or beach, playtime in the backyard
• Further training with basic doggie manners
• To be allowed inside with my family
• A doggie playmate would be great who is gentle and calm, if not then lots of socialising with other dogs
• A cat may be ok with a slow introduction.
• I arrived at the shelter as a stray so my history is unknown. Due to this, my interaction with cats, pocket pets or fowl that are free roaming in the house or yard is completely unknown. There can be no guarantee that I will be ok living with them. My history with children is also unknown.
• I like both friendly male and female dogs
• Secure Fencing (6ft Colorbond or equivalent)
• Lots of toys and mental stimulation
• A diet of good quality dry food to help keep my teeth clean
• A family who promise to keep me well groomed and brush me regularly so I’m always looking and feeling my best
• Lots of love and attention
• I am very people orientated
• A family that will love and care for me during my twilight years
• TRAINING TRAINING TRAINING. It's ESSENTIAL I receive training in all aspects of my life so I can become a gentleman and learn boundaries.
• SOCIALISATION is as important for me. Taking me to lots of different places, meeting lots of people (children, men, woman etc) and meeting lots of dogs and other animals will help boost my confidence
Things that I don’t want in my new home:
• To be left alone in the backyard without any interaction
• Not to be allowed inside with my family
• Never to go on a walk or rides in the car
My best features:
• Very playful
• Wiggle butt
• Highly food motivated
• Gentle & placid
• I love attention and having snuggles with my humans
• Happy to hang out with other friendly dogs
• Social butterfly
• Well mannered
• Love to snooze on the couch
Where I need to improve / Training required
• I will require full basic training as I've had no training experience yet
• Unsure in new situations – more socialising is needed
• I love my food so using them as a positive reward should make my training easier.
• I need further training on my recall as I can ignore you if you're trying to call me back to you
• I may show signs of anxiety when I'm left alone in the backyard. Leaving me some enrichment toys/treats may help this.
• I walk well on lead, unless I want to go in another direction, then I tend to pull
Medical notes
Grade 2 heart murmur, may require medication in the future
Dental scale & polish required within 3 to 6 months
