Charley was surrendered to rescue due to issues with the young kids in the house. He has settled into his foster home with dogs and older dog savvy kids and is doing very well. He enjoys being a little brindle shadow to the adults in the house. Charley gets along great with the dogs in the house and spends a lot of time trying to get them to play with him. As soon as his humans sit down, he's the first one front and center to get a great cuddle spot with as much of his body pressed against them as possible. Charley does not like being woken up and moved and he will grumble and growl about it.
Since his foster family has seen a few dominance issues, he will need a home that will have boundaries and the ability to correct naughty behavior as it arises. Charles would enjoy a family who would take him on outings and walks. He gets very excited to go places, even the vet! Chuck (he loves all of his names) doesn't love his kennel and will be a bit vocal about it initially, but settles in when needed. He is wonderfully potty trained and hasn't had a single accident in the house since arriving in his foster home, and we have even had lots of rainy days!!

While in foster care, all our dogs are thoroughly vetted. Any discovered medical issues will be disclosed above. Our Lucky Bulldogs (and their smushie-faced buddies) are cleared by their vet for adoption prior to us accepting applications. All our dogs will be up to date on Rabies & DHPP vaccinations, up to date on Heartworm preventative after a negative Heartworm test, and spayed or neutered prior to being adopted out to their forever homes. Often times, our dogs are given dentals and sometimes nare-widening surgery if needed while under anesthesia. All surgical and medical history we have will be shared with adopters. Further details can be discussed with the foster volunteer during the phone interview for the applications that are chosen to proceed to the phone interview part of the adoption process.
All our dogs are crate trained unless otherwise noted on their "All About" pages.

We will accept applications for our available dogs for 1-2 weeks except in cases of overwhelming popularity where we may stop accepting new applicants sooner. Once we have stopped accepting applications, we will review them and proceed with a phone call with our top two applications to chat about the dog being applied for, go over the adoption process, and answer any questions the potential adopter has. After phone calls take place, we will decide on our top applicant choice and proceed to contact them to schedule a home visit (in person or via video chat), and check vet and personal references before the adoption is ready to be completed. This process can take up to 6 weeks.
