My name is Charlie!

Charlie, a beautiful white German shepherd mix, is calm and curious but apprehensive about the shelter environment. When getting him out of his kennel for a walk, he is excited to see you and eagerly exits the kennel with you. In the yard, he approaches with a wagging tail to solicit treats but does not allow petting. He will let you know he is uncomfortable by giving a little growl. He loves treats, and he appears to be potty trained! When walking through the kennel room, Charlie likes to stop and say hi to the little male chihuahua next door and other polite neighbors while ignoring the barky and rude ones. Charlie needs a patient and experienced foster willing to work with him and who can use positive reinforcement training methods to help him feel more comfortable handling his situation.
