Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Charlie used to live in a place called "shelter" and the humans often said about him that he was a "good dog" and had "a lot of potential". It came with free food, and scratches that felt good from the humans.
They used a thing called "leash” which Charlie has learned that "leash" means he gets to go explore. His favorite thing is to explore.
Charlie was moved to a place called "foster”. They use a "crate" for him to sleep in at night (and while they were away). Also "foster" had a really really long leash (15 feet) and let Charlie explore, sniff, and pee on bushes. After a while, "crate" started to feel more like a cozy den (and free food showed up inside it every day too).
“Foster” does not have a dog. Charlie doesn't need the company of other dogs to make him happy in a new role as a “Family Dog”. He can be wary of strange dogs - sometimes he walking by with no problem, sometimes letting out a bark. With slow introductions, Charlie could get along with a calm, submissive dog, especially the ladies! He doesn’t live with “cat” but thinks they are great fun to chase.
During his stay with "foster" Charlie learned a lot of new skills, to prepare him for his new desired role of "Family Dog". He likes anyone who gives him pets, including younger humans. But due to his size, 8+ years old would be best. He is hoping his new skills will land him the job.
Those new skills include:
*Walking on a leash
*Holding still for brushing, baths, and blow drying (Charlie has a lot of hair)
*Going into crate on command (with the help of some treats at first)
*Enjoying scratches and pets from humans
*Riding inside of a car
*Sitting on command
*Taking treats from humans
*Putting his front paws in the "doggy pool" on a hot day.
