About Charlie
Charlie is a stunning, large male who has come into our care due to his owner becoming seriously unwell and no longer able to care for him. Through no fault of his own, Charlie is now looking for a new family to call his own.
Charlie is a bright, happy boy and in excellent health. He absolutely loves people and greets them with great enthusiasm, sometimes getting a little excited due to his friendly and affectionate nature. He is social with most dogs of a similar size and enjoys their company, especially in relaxed, well-managed environments.
Charlie has not had any formal training, so he will need guidance and consistency to learn his basics, including walking nicely on a loose lead. With positive, reward-based training and a committed home, Charlie will thrive and mature into a well-mannered companion.
Big, affectionate and full of life, Charlie is ready for a home that can provide structure, patience and plenty of love. In return, he will reward you with loyalty, companionship and endless joy.
German shepherds require consistency with a daily routine, every day should include playtime, continued training to ensure that they feel they are a member of your family and inclusion in the home.
Charlie has yet to be tested with cats or pocket pets. Due to his fun loving nature and size Charlie is not suitable to go to a home with young children.
Charlie is currently available for adoption in NSW, Queensland and Victoria. If you're interested in making him a cherished member of your family, you'll need to drive with your loved ones to meet him. Should he, for any reason, not be the perfect fit for your family, you would be responsible for either bringing him back to Sydney or helping us rehome him from your home.
If you have recently owned a German Shepherd or large breed dog, and understand German Shepherd and think you have the commitment to give him a new home, then please select the "Enquire about Charlie” and we will send you an application form or go to our website and complete the application form.

We have an Adoptions Manager who screens all prospective candidates as to their suitability to adopt a German Shepherd Dog.
We try to contact every one by phone but if that isn't successful we will email our application form to you, which needs to be completed and returned, or you can call us back and we can chat and complete for you. We will also ask you to provide photos of your yard and fencing to enable us to see where the dog will be kept and that they have areas of shade and shelter.
All our dogs are ready to go to their new home, so when you enquire about a dog you must be in a position to take them into your home. We are unable to hold a dog while you fix your fences or go on holiday, etc.
The successful candidate who adopts one of our dogs is provided with an information kit, ongoing support, training and advice on all aspects of feeding, training and general assistance to ensure both the new owner and our rescued dog settle into their home.
