My name is Charlie!

We are rehoming Charlie, a 5-year-old purebred Goldendoodle (born 8/14/19). Charlie, a neutered and microchipped goofball, loves walks and is food-motivated (occasionally counter-surfs). He is up-to-date on shots and great with kids, but needs more consistency than we can provide.

Charlie takes his guard dog role seriously, protecting our home and barking at unfamiliar guests that enter our home without us present. This isn’t ideal for our lifestyle.

What he needs:

A household with fewer unattended visitors or a consistent routine
A female couple, single woman, or heterosexual couple (he can be nervous of new men)
An older owner who wants protection and can provide daily walks and affection
A comfy bed or couch

What scares him:
Flashlights or sudden lights
Quick movements and loud noises
Initial fear of doorways, though mostly overcome
Charlie is good with kids, loves to play with other dogs, and chases cats.
