San Diego, CA
Size
(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
Details
Good with dogs, Needs special attention, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Charlie is a 5 year old mix between a Rhodesian Ridgeback, Shar-Pei and Pit, she loves to be in the company of people, she love attention and to be pet. She is extremely smart is treat motivated, meaning she can be trained very easily. She sleeps most of the day on her bed, but loves walks around the neighborhood, playing with her squeeker toys, hikes, the beach and playing fetch at the park. Charlie would thrive with an active owner who loves the outdoors and car rides. She also loves playing with other dogs. Charlie stays up-to-date with her veterinary checkups and vaccinations, but also suffers from skin allergy reactions to certain foods. As a result she takes a pill every morning to help counter-act the side effects of her allergies, if left untreated for even a day she will develop itchy bumps on her skin and ear infections. She also can be uneasy around younger children (5-12 yo) as she seems to have a slight distrust towards them.

Story
We adopted Camden after losing our baby late into our first pregnancy. We did this to pour our love into a creature that needed us. He is such a loving dog, he is smart, loyal and protective. It’s his protective nature that we are now struggling with. We became pregnant again and this time around brought twins into our world. This has created an insecure/protective nature that we can’t tame. Thankfully it’s protective of the babies and of my wife. However this makes it hard when we have guest over or are out with the boys and Camden. Camden belongs with active individuals who hike, run, and have a backyard that he can enjoy. He needs a home where he can receive attention, affection and also have an outlet. We unfortunately cannot provide this. He is a wonderful family dog, just needs a better fit.
