Charlie

This very pretty, lanky teenager leaves you warm and fuzzy. She keeps your side at all times, and just looks into your eyes longingly for love and pats. Charlie loves all humans: small or big and unlike many rescue dogs, does not discriminate against man: she equally adores her foster mum and dad. Charlie loves nothing more than curling up by your feet, or resting her face on your lap while you are working. She is a ‘velcro dog’ who follows you everywhere and just happy to be around. Charlie is a super chilled girl and simply the best companion dog, it is hard to believe she is still a pup. She is not fussed the least with her foster brother, a 35kg goofball, much of his disappointment for not wanting to wrestle :) She is not at all interested in the resident mature cats that laze around the veranda all day, but the cheeky magpies must be patrolled! Charlie is a quick learner, and is the first dog we worked with that loves pats and praise so much that these can be effectively used as reward for training. Can sit and come on command (most times, give her credits, this is after 4 days of training!) and is walking nicely on lead, while no distractions. Leash training will need to be extended to urban environment. Being all alone at the pound for weeks, Charlie positions herself to have you in her sight at all times and not a fan of you leaving her behind. However, jumps in the car eagerly and with the use of a harness and a safety strap she travels well on the back seat. Until now, she has never been told where she can or cannot do her ‘business’ but she is so eager to please, that picking up toilet training fast. While Charlie hasn’t showed any interest in exploring beyond the fence line, with her flexibility and athletic built a secure fence line is recommended. Charlie is very skilled at standing on her back feet, she wraps her paws around your waist to be cuddled while resting her head on your hip. While this is super cute and affectionate, we are learning to keep all feet on the ground at all times to accommodate for the safety of tiny humans in her life. If you are looking for your best friend and longing for a true companion come and meet Charlie but be ready to be smitten. Look at her eyes and if you feel you are ready to open your heart for this very pretty, wiser than her age young lady and can continue to provide her with guidance, she will be the best dog you could ever hope for.
