Meet Charles — a gentle goofball with a heart as big as his paws 🐾

Charles is a just-over-one-year-old lab mix (with maybe a dash of Mountain Cur mystery) who’s equal parts playful pup and professional couch potato. Found as a stray alongside another dog, Charles has clearly decided that life is better with friends—and that includes dogs, cats, and kids. He absolutely adores children and is wonderfully gentle with them.

At first meeting, Charles can be a little shy, the kind of guy who likes to take a moment to read the room. Give him a little time (and maybe a squeaky toy), and his sweet, goofy personality shines through. He has happy bursts of puppy energy—especially when balls are involved—but he’s just as content to curl up beside you and supervise nap time.

Charles’ favorite things include:

Chews he can really sink his teeth into

Squeaky toys (the noisier, the better)

Balls of all kinds

Cozy couches and warm humans

If you’re looking for a loving, kid-friendly companion who can keep up on play days and slow down for snuggle nights, Charles might just be your perfect match. He’s ready to trade stray life for forever life—preferably one with toys, treats, and a spot next to you on the couch. 💛

While undergoing a routine veterinary evaluation, we learned Charles is heartworm positive. We are currently having him treated, and as long as his adopters are okay providing him a few months of rest and continuing his treatment (covered by the rescue) with the current treating vet, Charles can go home. He does not pose a risk to current animals in the home, and we’d be more than happy to go over heartworm and treatment with you, should you have questions.
