Hi, my name is Charlie! I am an older fellow compared to some of my friends here at the shelter, but I am a sweetheart. I may be older, but I still have a lot of spunk! It has been a hard journey for me. My owner passed away and he was my only friend. I was alone in the house for several months all by myself, with a few kind people stopping in to give me food and water. When I finally got to the shelter, I was terrified and wouldn't let people near me for quite some time. But, with a lot of patience, and some really yummy treats, I have made friends with everyone here! I absolutely love to be outside and go on walks. I am also a chatterbox at times and like to chitchat with my friends. I am not the biggest fan of other dogs, but that just means there is more love for me (which, if you ask me, I deserve). Reach out to PHS and find out how you can make me your loyal, loving friend.
