Meet Charley

Meet Charley! Left alone in a parking lot at just 6 months old, this sweet boy’s story could have ended very differently. Thankfully, a kind Good Samaritan stepped in and changed his life forever. Now 9 months old, Charley appears to be a handsome Rottweiler/German Shepherd mix, weighing about 70 pounds of gentle soul and loyal heart. He’s potty trained and already knows his sit, down, and stay commands—such a smart young pup who truly wants to please. Now fully vetted, neutered, and thriving, Charley is ready for his next chapter: a forever family who will never let him feel abandoned again. He is a devoted, affectionate companion who forms strong bonds with his people and loves being part of the action. Charley is also an excellent watchdog. Naturally alert and attentive to his surroundings, he’ll let you know when someone is approaching and takes his job of looking after his home and family seriously. While he’s loving and affectionate with his people, his protective instincts make him a wonderful companion for someone looking for both a best friend and a loyal guardian. Charley is dog-friendly and currently lives with other dogs. He enjoys canine companionship, but he can be a rough-and-rowdy playmate, so he would do best with dogs that enjoy his energetic play style or with owners who can help manage introductions and play sessions appropriately. Because of his size, enthusiasm, and desire to be involved in everything his family does, Charley would do best in a home with older children who can enjoy his playful personality and continue helping him learn and grow. If you’re looking for a faithful best friend with a resilient spirit, a loving heart, and the potential to be an incredible lifelong companion, Charley is waiting to meet you. His difficult beginning is behind him, and now all he needs is a family to love him forever.
