About Charlie-AussieDoodle
Say hello to Charlie! He is our new 11 month old, just under 40lb Awesome Aussiedoodle!
Charlie was rescued from a rural kill shelter as he had escaped his owners home 3 different times and the last time he went to she shelter, was going to be his "last time" until the shelter contacted one of our volunteers. He is one lucky dude, as he is now in a foster home with a secure above ground fenced yard and plenty of supervision and has not one time tried to escape, as he is in a home where he gets plenty of attention, love and the companioship of another playful dog. They have filled us in on some info about Charlie and he is really doing all he can to be a good boy so he can find his forever family as soon as possible!
"Charlie is an adorable snuggly, super friendly puppy (at 11 months old, he IS still a puppy) looking for a home that can offer him the exercise and direction he needs to grow up to be a good boy. Charlie has PLENTY of that puppy energy, and needs a home that can offer him a good energy outlet. He loves to play in the yard with our Doodle as they go flying through the yard side by side racing to see who can get to the end the fastest! It would probably be best for Charlie to go to a home with a younger dog who can keep up with his activity level, but he could be ok being the only dog as long as he can get lots of attention and exercise. He needs some work on his leash manners as he does pull some while on walks, but he enjoys his daily walks just the same. As far as toys go, he loves tennis balls and nylabones. We've moved Charlie to sleeping on the floor in our bedroom and he's doing great with that and sleeping through the night most nights and has had no potty accidents at all. We use the crate only when we both leave the house and he is happy about this!
Charlie is a great work-from-home companion. Although he has puppy energy at times, he is also a great daytime napper. He naps in my home office throughout the day and when he comes to me to make sure things are going well with work, I take him outside for potty breaks and playtime in between meetings.
He loves riding in the car. We've taken him on a few visits and he's well behaved in the car and always excited to go somewhere new! We took him to a Derby party where he met lots of new doggie friends and people and around kids and he was a good boy. He had the time of his life! We kept a close eye on him with all of the new surroundings, but he was super!
We feed him separately from our girl right now as he is underweight and seems very hungry all the time, but he and our dog share a water bowl and toys with no incidents.
Charlie loves attention from dogs and people just the same. One of the pictures of Charlie is from the Louisville City soccer game where dogs were invited to attend and he did GREAT! We are proud to say he now has his own LouCity bandana and he wears it proudly! He is incredibly sweet and quite the snuggle bug. This guy gives the meaning to velcro dog as he loves to lean against people and just snuggle up. Belly rubs??? OH YES! He will just roll on his back with his paws in the air basically inviting us (or strongly suggesting with those beautiful blue eyes) to bring the belly rubs on"!
Charlie's new family will need to have the time and patience to work with an active puppy, and remember, a tired puppy is a good puppy! Aussie's and Poodles are both very smart dogs, and with the work a family is willing to put into Charlie, should pay off for sure! We will update more on Charlie as we learn, but if you would like to meet this cutie pie, please fill out an app at GRRAND.org
