​🐶 The Lowdown on Charlie

​Charlie is a big, handsome, goofy bundle of love who has settled into foster care like he’s lived here his whole life. If you’ve been looking for a dedicated shadow, congratulations—you just found him!

​Personality & Quirks

​Certified Velcro Dog: Charlie believes that if you are sitting on the settee or lying in bed, there should be a Labrador on top of (or right next to) you. He’s cuddly, sweet, and incredibly affectionate.

​A Total Ladies’ Man: Charlie makes no secret of his preferences—he loves the womenfolk! He’s been an absolute angel with ladies.

​The “Husband Shield” (Resource Guarding): He does get a little possessive/guarding around men (my hubby can confirm!), so he’ll need a handler who understands doggy body language and can help him work through his mild guy-guarded tendencies.

​Independent When It Counts: Don’t let his needy side fool you! Even though he loves being glued to your side, we’ve spied on him via the pet cam when leaving the house, and he settles down like a total champ once he realises it’s nap time.

​🦴 Daily Life & Favourite Things

​Walkies Enthusiast: Just showing him the lead gets him doing a full-body happy wiggle. He enjoys two walks a day and has lovely leash manners.

​Animal Encounters: He gets along great with other dogs on walks. While he hasn’t officially lived with an indoor cat, he’s walked right past cats, ducks, and swans without so much as a second glance.

​Prized Possessions: Give this boy his chew bone and a pile of plush teddies, and he is in absolute bliss.

​🏡 The Perfect Home Match

​Charlie would thrive best with a female owner or a lady-led home where someone is around a good chunk of the day to share the sofa, dish out belly rubs, and hand over the plushies.

​If you’re looking for a goofy, devoted cuddle-monster to warm your heart (and your feet on the bed), Charlie is ready to meet you!”.

Charlie is vaccinated and neutered so can go a little further afield for the right home.
