My home needs are:

Hi, I’m Charlie!

I’m a 60-pound lap dog, which means I take my cuddle duties very seriously. I’m happiest when I can be close to my people, whether that’s leaning in for pets, curling up beside you, or finding a way to sneak into your lap (even if I’m a bit on the bigger side!). I have a big heart and an even bigger desire to be part of a loving home where I can share my affection every day.

I come with some great skills already. I’m both house-trained and crate-trained, which means I’ve got a solid foundation and know how to be a well-mannered companion. I’ve also enjoyed being around other dogs during my time at Wayside, so I can be a great fit for homes with canine companions. I’m the kind of dog who appreciates companionship, whether it’s with people or other pups, and I adjust well to different environments.

Overall, I’m a sweet, adaptable dog who will do well in a variety of homes. I’m looking for a place where I can be loved, included, and given plenty of time to relax and bond with my people. If you’re looking for a loyal companion who brings both comfort and companionship, I’d love the chance to be your new best friend.

Love, Charlie

The mixed breed dogs, often referred to as mutts, are a diverse and unique group with a blend of different characteristics from various purebred dog breeds. These dogs come from a mixture of lineages, resulting in a wide range of sizes, coat types, and temperaments. While each mixed breed dog is distinct in its own right, they are known for their resilience, adaptability, and often have fewer health issues compared to purebred dogs due to their genetic diversity. Mixed breed dogs make wonderful companions for families looking for a loyal and one-of-a-kind pet.

The Pit Bull Terrier is a resilient and loyal breed known for its muscular build and loving nature. Originally bred for bull baiting and later dog fighting, Pit Bulls today are beloved family pets cherished for their gentle temperament and playful personality. With proper training and socialization, Pit Bull Terriers make affectionate companions that thrive on human interaction. Recognized for their strength and agility, these dogs require regular exercise and mental stimulation to channel their energy positively, reinforcing their reputation as devoted and trainable pets.
