Description
š¾ Meet Charlie ā Looking for his Forever Home š¾
Location: Derby
From: Romania
Age: Approximately 8 months old
Charlie is a gentle, sensitive boy whoās come a long way since arriving in foster care. When he first came into the home, he was very scared and preferred to stay out of sight. With patience and kindness, his true personality is beginning to shine through and itās lovely to see.
Charlie has formed a strong bond with his foster mum and now happily follows her around the house. Heās started taking treats from her and enjoys gentle strokes. While heās still a little shy with children, heās making steady progress and will allow calm, respectful interaction.
He lives with two resident female dogs and absolutely loves their company especially playing with the younger one. Heās learning a lot by watching them and is becoming more confident each day, even trying to join in when meeting other dogs and people.
Charlie enjoys toys and playtime, and heās generally calm and well-behaved in the home. He hasnāt shown any signs of aggression and copes well with everyday noises and movement. Heās fine being left alone for short periods, often sitting quietly and watching the world go by.
At night, Charlie prefers to sleep in his foster mumās room, as he can feel unsettled if left alone. Heās housetrained and uses a dog flap, which makes things easy. Mealtimes are supervised, as heās a quick eater and may try to sneak a taste from other bowls!
On walks, Charlie is still adjusting and isnāt a fan of the lead just yet, but heās comfortable wearing a harness and collar. With continued encouragement, he should gain confidence outdoors.
Charlie has been bathed and, although nervous at first, quickly relaxed with reassurance. He travels well in the car and hasnāt yet been introduced to cats.
Charlieās Ideal Home
Charlie would love to live with another small, friendly dog for companionship and to play with.
He currently lives with 2 resident female dogs who he gets on well with. He settles well when left alone for short periods with the resident dogs. He could maybe live as an only dog if someone is home a lot of the time.
Charlie could live with dog savvy children aged 7+, provided they understand he may need a little time to feel comfortable and they would respect his space.
This sweet boy just needs a patient, loving home where he can continue to grow in confidence and feel safe. In return, youāll gain a loyal companion who will quietly steal your heart.
Health
Charlie is microchipped, vaccinated, neutered, and has had all necessary health checks including a negative Brucella Canis test (UK APHA Lab) and 4DX snap test.
