Description:

Meet Charley!

Charley was rescued from filthy conditions. He was living with a man in the back of a van and he is one scared boy. This little guy has no idea what it is like to live in a real home. When Charley came to us, he didn't like men. He was evidently mistreated and it's taken him some time to learn that not all men are bad. Charley is great with women and children.

Charley really is very sweet and lovable. He gets along well with other animals and he is eager to please. Charley is crate and house trained and he wants nothing more than a loving home.

Charley is doing much better with trusting his foster father. After only a short time he trusted him enough to take food from his hand. We believe that in time, Charley will be able to start trusting more men.

AN UPDATE FROM HIS FOSTER HOME:

Charley has been a wonderful addition to our family. He has blossomed into a loving cuddly dog. Although still hesitant to be around men is has made many attempts to be close to his foster dad. What ever happened in the past has changed him forever, but he is learning not all men are that bad.

Charley loves to play with his foster sister, a shih tzu. They are the best of buds. He has learned that some cats choose not to play with cats, and others can be cuddly (but don’t try to play tug o war with them… they don’t like it). He also has a great time playing with the toys here. His favorite toy being a tennis ball. He will even spend time throwing the ball up and chasing it himself if everyone is busy.

Charley has become attached to his foster mom. He is usually where she is. He listens to the commands well. He is easy to crate. Charley sleeps in his foster moms bed, cuddled up close to her side. Yes dad is on the other side of the bed, and even sometimes is petting Charley. Charley has even made his way between his parents to sleep next to dad, but this is usually after he thinks his dad is asleep.

Charley will make a great addition to a family. He has a lot of love to share with everyone.
