At just 2 years old and 60 pounds, Charlie is a beautiful German Shepherd mix with soulful eyes, a tender heart, and a quiet plea for love. After surviving heartbreaking neglect—skin and bones, abandoned at a shelter, and already a mama while still a puppy herself—Charlie has spent over a year in foster care healing physically and emotionally. She’s come a long way… but she’s still waiting to be chosen.
Charlie has made incredible progress: she’s now house-trained, gentle with kids, affectionate with other dogs, and enjoys adventures like hiking and doggy daycare. She’s learned to be alone for a few hours without fear, and her tail wags with new joy. While she still gets nervous around unfamiliar men and barks at reactive dogs, she’s working hard to overcome her past. Charlie doesn’t need perfection—she just needs patience, consistency, and someone who believes in second chances.
💛 Why You’ll Love Charlie:
- Sweet and snuggly with a gentle soul
- Loves children and treats everyone with affection
- Great with dogs and well-mannered at daycare
- Eager to learn, loyal, and playful
- Just wants someone to love her as she is
Charlie isn’t the easiest choice, but she might be the most rewarding. She’s not looking for someone perfect—just someone willing to look past her scars and see the incredible companion she’s becoming. Will you be the one who finally says, “You’re home now”?
Charlie is ready. She just needs someone to choose her. 💕
