My personality

My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Charlie!

A spirited Australian Cattle Dog, Boxer, and American Pitbull Terrier mix from Fairfield, CA, whose zest for life is as boundless as his love for people. At three-and-a-half-years-old, this tan-coated, white-accented bundle of energy is a happy, loyal, and highly intelligent companion who’s always eager to make his family smile! His playful personality, combined with his quick learning skills, makes him not only fun to be around but also a joy to train. He already knows commands like "sit," "stay," "leave it," "no," "yes," "lay down," and even "out of the kitchen"—though, to be fair, he sometimes pretends not to hear that last one when something tasty is left unattended!

Charlie is a social butterfly who adores people, especially kids, and gets along well with other dogs and even cats. Whether he’s romping around with canine pals or cuddling up for some well-earned affection, he thrives on companionship. He would love a home with a fenced yard where he can safely stretch his legs, but he’s also happy to settle down in his crate when needed. Walks and hikes are among his favorite activities, and he’ll eagerly join you for an outdoor adventure, always ready to explore the world with his tail wagging!

Though Charlie is mostly well-mannered, he has a mischievous streak—he’s been known to help himself to an unsupervised snack from the counter if given the chance! His future family will need to keep an eye on their food, but his enthusiasm for learning means he’s more than capable of picking up good habits with positive reinforcement. With his medium energy level, he’s the perfect mix of playful and relaxed, making him a fantastic match for an active yet loving household.

Charlie is neutered, microchipped, house-trained, and up to date on vaccinations. He’s looking for a stable, kind family who understands the joys (and occasional silliness) of having a smart, affectionate pup in their lives. Could Charlie be the perfect new addition to your family? Reach out to adopt@joyfulpets.com and find out!

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

Our ultimate goal is to unite as many animals with loving pet parents as possible, so we strive to make it easy to adopt a dog or cat you have fallen in love with. All we ask is that you fill out an adoption application so that we have all the information we need to determine that you'll be able to provide a safe and compassionate home to one of our rescued pets. Once approved, all you need to do is sign our adoption agreement form and provide an adoption donation so that we can continue to save more animals every day and unite them with families just like yours.

The pets that we have rescued are in private foster care homes. Setting up private "meet and greet" appointments to meet the animals on our adoptables list is easy so potential adopters can be connected with fosters quickly. Simply contact us today to get started!
