Charlotte is an adorable big puppy who is looking for a gentle hand to ease her into her new world. Due to her shyness, she would love a supportive family to help her build trust and confidence. For her daily walks, she prefers a quiet neighborhood. On days when she chooses not to walk, she would appreciate the privacy of a fenced in yard where she can stroll at her own pace.
Gentle encouragement and a handful of treats will help to coax Charlotte out of her safe spot and introduce her to new environments and activities. Your patience will pay off as you enjoy watching her confidence grow and her personality blossom!
