Here's what the humans have to say about me:
***PLEASE READ***
REQUIREMENTS TO ADOPT CHARLIE:
*MUST LIVE IN TEMECULA OR MURRIETA, CA
(Or no more than 30 mins away)

*FULLY Fenced, Secured yard

*Preferably Older Children Only
Charlie's DOB is 03/07/19 and weighs just over 60 lbs. He is such an AMAZING dog who absolutely adores his family BUT due to no fault of his own, he is VERY SHY at first and will need extra time, patience, and love to come out of his shell and be the awesome dog that he truly is. While he is the sweetest, he is extremely sensitive and cautious around new people. Not mean at all, rather he needs you to understand that he will not become your best friend within a matter of minutes like some dogs. Instead he will want to RUN as far, as fast, and as strong as he can away from what he is afraid of. He only does this when you reach or hover over him but if you ignore him for just a little while, he will warm up to you faster.
Charlie is not a dog for first time dog owners and will need a patient, confident, and loving home who will give him a chance to come out of his shell and show you how awesome of a dog he really is once he becomes comfortable.
After getting past his shy stage, he is a typical puppy who LOVES to run, play, and dote on his family. He is super sweet, friendly, and loves to get lots of kisses and booty rubs. He is very active and would LOVE to go for walks/jogs/runs every day. He could quite possibly make a good hiking partner too! He walks great on leash, will keep up with you no matter what you're doing, and is easy to correct if he gets too ahead of himself. Charlie loves all other dogs and especially loves to play with them. He will not do well being the only dog in the home. And due to his energy and large size, he needs at least another medium-large dog that he can play tag, wrestle, and run with as well as socialize and borrow confidence from. Charlie is also great with cats and ignores them for the most part. They all eat together, sleep together, and sometimes play together (he is gentle with the cats if he plays with them). Charlie is house trained and will let you know when he has to potty. He sleeps through the night without a peep. He is crate trained however he is used to someone being home all the time. He is crated 3 hours max in his foster home.
MUST LIVE WITHIN 30 MINUTES OF TEMECULA, CA
**PLEASE NOTE: Charlie will NOT do well with acreage. He NEEDS and thrives in a medium home with a secure, FULLY FENCED yard that he can play in.
