Rottweiler and Shar Pei Dogs Available for Adoption in Charlotte, North Carolina

Contact the foster at, jessamyh@gmail.com Meet Reggie — Gentle Soul with a Heart of Gold Sweet, gentle senior who deserves a soft place to land, enjoy some TLC, and the comfy life he deserves! Age is just a number! Reggie is as playful and happy as any dog, but with the benefit of maturity. He is already potty trained, calm in the house, gentle with humans, and friendly to other dogs, kids, and even cats! He could easily adapt to a variety of lifestyles, but he would thrive in a home with people who want to take him along for their fun and would love a loyal companion who's happiest by their side. Easy to leash and a calm, pleasant walking companion Playful in the yard with a light, joyful spirit Treat-motivated and knows how to “sit,” not mouthy and easy to be around. Reggie checks in and is attentive to his person during walks and loves to enjoy all the sniffs. Reggie is calm and friendly towards other dogs, both seeing new dogs on walks and with resident dogs in a foster home. Slow intros and the time/space to get to know each other are always recommended when introducing new dogs to each other. Reggie didn't chase two resident cats during a foster weekend, and even ended up happily sleeping on the bed with them and the humans! Reggie is ready to get settled in a forever home! Despite his circumstances, he remains kind, trusting, and resilient. He LOVES to cuddle and be with his people. With the stress of life changes, he may be a little anxious when he first gets to his new home, but he is able to get used to the new environment and relax with support from his people. (Example: Reggie was demonstrably anxious when first getting to a weekend foster/new place on a Friday, but by Sunday morning he owned the place!) If you're ready for a devoted best friend of a dog, who gazes at you as if you hung the moon, Reggie is your man!
