Charlie is a 2-to-3 year old, medium-sized, 45-pound male, mixed breed collie/shepherd mix who was found covered in frost after sleeping overnight in a vacant field. He happily relishes and returns human attention, plays with other dogs, behaves nicely in a car and ignores stuck-up house cats. He is quiet by nature, rarely barks, and is housebroken.

Update from Charlie's foster mom:

Charlie was a bedraggled young male who wandered for a least a year in search of food, shelter, and companionship. He was frequently observed with frost on his coat after spending a cold night in a vacant lot or appeared gaunt from a lack of food. Friendly, but timid, Charlie had to be coaxed into the home of a volunteer.

Since then, Charlie has transformed into a “Godlilocks” of dogs. Regular feeding has softened his coat and filled him out until he is neither too big nor too small; but just right.  His playful temperament is neither too timid nor too rambunctious, but just right.  

He is affectionate, appreciative, and quiet. He would be at home in a houseful of kids with other dogs and cats or equally at home alone in an apartment.  Sweet Charlie is the dog that’s just right for you.
