Where does dog usually sleep?I n the family room with the door to the rest of the house closed. He doesn’t like complete darkness and so there are big windows to let in natural light / yard lights from outside. When startled, Charlie can snip. It is not recommended for Charlie to sleep on the bed/in the bedroom where sudden movements at night can startle him.

Needs: An individual or couple who are patient and willing to work with a rescue. The new adopters ideally would be those who do not currently have any pets and do not plan on having children living in their home. A home with an outdoor open space where Charlie can run around when he’s at home would be great since he gets bursts of energy (usually in the morning and late afternoon). Charlie is an anxious dog and this can come off as aggressive if he is caught off guard or in an uncomfortable situation, especially when sleeping. 

Loves: Charlie is smart and is driven by games and exercise. He is not food driven, but enjoys treats and is excited when given puzzles to get to his treats. He loves to play catch and tug-of-war. He LOVES socks. Beware of leaving your socks around the house because they will disappear.

Reason for re-homing: Charlie was adopted a few years back after he was rescued from the street, however, due to his anxiety and his tendency to get startled easily this has caused safety challenges with the baby becoming more mobile and curious. For this reason, his family has decided it is safer to re-home him to a family with no children.
