Congratulations to Charlie, our February Dog of the Month!
Charlie entered this world with his 7 brothers and sisters on Valentine’s Day, February 14, 2019. His mama was rescued from a hoarder situation in Washington and gave birth to her babies in the care of a foster family in Portland, who nurtured them until they were ready for adoption. Charlie (formerly known as “Dwight”) is a shepherd, lab and terrier mix. He met his adopted family at 6 weeks while romping around in the backyard with his litter. He stood out as a curious, gentle, and independent little guy and had the cutest eyes and markings around his face, not to mention a very sweet disposition! Ida, Wes, Zach and Robin (his owners) fell in love and by the end of the playdate were well on their way to welcoming him into their family. He still gets to play with three of his siblings who were adopted within the human circle of friends.
As the dogs at No Bonz can attest, Charlie brings his playful spirit to anyone he encounters. He is sweet and social, and respectful (mostly) of the wishes of others around personal space -- so long as you let him know with a snarl or an ‘uh-oh’ that he needs to chill. Mostly he loves to be with his humans snuggling on couches and beds, running Forest Park trails, or playing with his buddies at No Bonz.
