Charlie is a 7-year-old, 15-pound female terrier mix from Alabama.
Charlie was rescued from a known abuse situation so is very timid at first and scares easily with fast movements or loud noises. Charlie is very cuddly once she feels comfortable, and ends up being a velcro dog once she is attached. She follows her foster mom everywhere.
She loves to go out on walks and is usually great at not minding other dogs or people. She will get spooked with loud noises, or if anyone tries to pet her. He future owner will need to advocate for her space and not allow strangers to approach her or pet her. When someone enters the apartment, she barks at first, runs and hide, and then comes out with her tail wagging to sniff the person. She'll then usually just retreat back to her bed while they visit.
She has been wee wee pad trained while in her foster home but it still scared on walks outside and hasn't gotten the hang out an outside bathroom schedule.
She is a yappier dog that squeals when spooked, and suffers from separation anxiety and barks when left alone. Her foster mom has been working on this with Charlie but her ideal home will be one where her family is home most of the day or in a less densely populated are.
Charlie lives with both dogs and cats now. She is great with other dogs and tries to play with cats so may annoy a resident cat who prefers their space. Charlie should live in a home without children do to her initial fear and anxiety.
Vaccinated for rabies, DHPP, and bordetella. Neutered, heartworm negative, and microchipped. Current on flea, tick, and heartworm prevention.
