Charlie

🐾 Meet Charlie – Looking for his Forever Home 🐾

Location: Derby
From: Romania
Age: Approximately 8 months old

Charlie is a gentle, sensitive boy who’s come a long way since arriving in foster care. When he first came into the home, he was very scared and preferred to stay out of sight. With patience and kindness, his true personality is beginning to shine through and it’s lovely to see.

Charlie has formed a strong bond with his foster mum and now happily follows her around the house. He’s started taking treats from her and enjoys gentle strokes. While he’s still a little shy with children, he’s making steady progress and will allow calm, respectful interaction.

He lives with two resident female dogs and absolutely loves their company especially playing with the younger one. He’s learning a lot by watching them and is becoming more confident each day, even trying to join in when meeting other dogs and people.

Charlie enjoys toys and playtime, and he’s generally calm and well-behaved in the home. He hasn’t shown any signs of aggression and copes well with everyday noises and movement. He’s fine being left alone for short periods, often sitting quietly and watching the world go by.

At night, Charlie prefers to sleep in his foster mum’s room, as he can feel unsettled if left alone. He’s housetrained and uses a dog flap, which makes things easy. Mealtimes are supervised, as he’s a quick eater and may try to sneak a taste from other bowls!

On walks, Charlie is still adjusting and isn’t a fan of the lead just yet, but he’s comfortable wearing a harness and collar. With continued encouragement, he should gain confidence outdoors.

Charlie has been bathed and, although nervous at first, quickly relaxed with reassurance. He travels well in the car and hasn’t yet been introduced to cats.

Charlie’s Ideal Home
Charlie would love to live with another small, friendly dog for companionship and to play with.
He currently lives with 2 resident female dogs who he gets on well with. He settles well when left alone for short periods with the resident dogs. He could maybe live as an only dog if someone is home a lot of the time.

Charlie could live with dog savvy children aged 7+, provided they understand he may need a little time to feel comfortable and they would respect his space.

This sweet boy just needs a patient, loving home where he can continue to grow in confidence and feel safe. In return, you’ll gain a loyal companion who will quietly steal your heart.

Health
Charlie is microchipped, vaccinated, neutered, and has had all necessary health checks including a negative Brucella Canis test (UK APHA Lab) and 4DX snap test.
