Story
Charlie - aka Charlie Wigglebutt, Sir Nubs-a-Lot, Professional Shotgun Rider
Charlie is currently living in a foster home with a whole crew of dogs and slid right in like he’d always been there. He is thriving with a wide variety of dogs and his foster praises him for being an easy, stress-free addition to the household from day one. House trained, crate trained, and already living the good life, Charlie has definitely proved himself to be a wonderfully adaptable, happy-go-lucky buddy.
A quick run down of his stats- Charlie is estimated to be 4 years old, he weighs 38.2 lbs, and is likely a English Bulldog/Frenchie mix but of course, given he is a rescue we cannot guarantee breed or birthday.
Before you read on- Charlie’s full personality really shines on video. Be sure to watch his YouTube video to see his gentle greetings, leash manners, and that signature wiggle-butt charm in action. https://youtu.be/fHJLbCvGc5A
This happy-go-lucky little bulldog has a tiny tail nub and a full-body wiggle that more than makes up for it. He absolutely loves his people and opens up quickly with new people whether that is a quick passing greeting or with house guests. He leans in for affection, takes treats gently, and soaks up love with a calm, sweet demeanor. He may pop up for a hello when greeting someone new, but it’s all friendly enthusiasm, think of it like meeting your half way, never wild or mouthy.
On leash, Charlie is an easy walking buddy. He walks nicely, checks in with his handler, and is perfectly happy with a short stroll over a long-haul hike. He’s the kind of dog who seems genuinely happy just being alongside you, matching your pace and enjoying the outing.
With other dogs, Charlie is polite and peaceful. He lives with small dogs now and does great with them. He isn’t a big player or rough-and-tumble type, more of a gentle roamer who prefers to do his own thing and then checks back in with his people. He would do best with a low-energy dog or as a solo pup who gets all the love.
Charlie is also cat tolerant. He calmly smelled our house cat and then moved on, coexisting beautifully. We’d recommend a calm, dog-savvy cat for him, but he’s shown he can handle feline roommates just fine.
Because of his compact size and easygoing nature, Charlie would be a great fit for an apartment or a home. His smooshy face means he doesn’t need a ton of exercise, making him an excellent couch potato companion who’s happy with short walks, cozy naps, and being wherever his people are.
If you’re looking for a loyal sidekick, a professional co-pilot for errands, and a low-key best friend with a world-class wiggle butt… here he is! Ready and waiting!

https://g.co/kgs/UQ5Pyai We care deeply about creating lasting matches between dog and family for long term success, and take the time to ensure each adoption is a fit through our matchmaking process.
At our 2 acre Texas based property, we assess every animal with trainers on staff, we modify behavior as needed, and create individualized behavior plans to help prepare dogs for their future families including crate training, potty training, leash walking, etc. Our fosters are able to attend group training and socialization play groups helping them stay confident, well rounded, and adoption-ready. Our on-site trainers are dedicated to each dog’s growth and we enjoy seeing their progress!
We go above and beyond to ensure every animal receives exceptional care. Veterinarians consistently praise our medical standards. From routine care to advanced treatments, each dog receives personalized attention. Hard costs for a healthy dog range from $804-$920; heartworm-positive dogs or those needing specialized care can exceed $2,000+. Adoption fees help cover a portion of these expenses, but without government funding, we rely on fundraising to bridge the gap—ranging from $100–$1,000+ per dog.
Our adoption fees reflect the extensive care and resources that go into each animal we save. The adoption fee is a donation to the mission and goes far beyond getting a fully vetted pet.
