Charlie is a sweet tri color and brown Belgian Shepherd/Hound mix with soft brown eyes and a gentle, thoughtful expression. He arrived at Cobb Animal Services on July 25th, along with his companion Tigger, after the two came into the shelter due to a difficult crisis situation affecting their home. At 8 months old, Charlie still has plenty of growing ahead of him before reaching his estimated adult weight of 70 to 80 pounds.

Charlie is a sweet boy who tends to be shy, taking his time to warm up to new people and new surroundings. He does well on a leash, showing a good foundation to build on as he continues to settle in. With patience and a calm, steady presence, dogs like Charlie often blossom beautifully once they feel truly safe.

Charlie arrived at the shelter alongside Tigger, and the comfort of a familiar companion has likely been a steady source of support for both of them. Adopters are warmly encouraged to consider bringing both dogs home together, so that companionship can continue.

At 8 months old, Charlie has so much of his life still ahead of him, and he is waiting in Kennel #873, hoping for the patient home where he can settle in, gain confidence, and show the world the sweet boy he truly is.
