Why Charlie is Looking for a New Home:
Charlie came to us after his senior owners realized they couldn’t meet his energetic needs. As a Portuguese Water Dog, Charlie thrives with an active family who can provide plenty of exercise, mental stimulation, and structure.
What Makes Charlie Special:
- Smart & Trained: Charlie has completed obedience training and is eager to continue impressing his new family with his intelligence and dedication.
- Great with Kids & Cats: He has experience with children as young as 8 and was wonderful with them. He even got along with the resident cat, though the feeling might not have been mutual!
- Natural Swimmer: True to his breed, Charlie is a natural in the water and would love a family that enjoys outdoor activities.
Grooming Needs:
Charlie’s signature coat requires regular grooming to keep him looking his best. While experience with the breed is a plus, a family willing to learn and commit to his grooming needs is essential.
Ideal Home for Charlie:
Charlie needs an active family who can match his energy and keep him engaged. Whether it’s hiking, playing fetch, or learning new tricks, Charlie is happiest when he’s part of the action.
Adoption Information:
- Vaccinations & Sterilization: Charlie is up to date on vaccinations and neutered.

What Is a Benefactor Dog?
Some dogs, like Charlie, have higher adoption fees due to their breed or high demand. These fees help support other dogs in Sandy Paws Rescue’s care that require expensive medical treatments, surgeries, or extended stays. Benefactor dogs like Charlie play a vital role in helping those most in need.
Charlie is ready to bring his zest for life and love to a forever family who will cherish him. Apply today and start your next adventure with this incredible boy!
