Charlie

About This Dog for Adoption

Charlie's ideal home

Charlie is looking for a calm and comfortable home where he can truly thrive. He would do best in a quiet location with minimal foot traffic and a private, secure garden where he can play and relax.

Walks should be in peaceful areas with plenty of space to create distance from things that might worry him, such as bikes or fast-moving objects.
Homes with active lifestyles are absolutely fine, as long as these environmental needs are met.

Charlie currently lives with teenagers and has been friendly toward them. He may also be suitable for homes with primary school-aged children, following successful introductions at the centre.

A family committed to ongoing training and confidence-building exercises would be ideal, as Charlie loves learning and growing.

Charlie is very sociable with other dogs and enjoys playtime, though he can be a little excitable and vocal when meeting new friends. He will need to be rehomed with his best friend, Pluto. These two share a wonderful bond, and Pluto gains lots of confidence from having Charlie by his side.

Could you be Charlie's perfect match?

Charlie is an affectionate one-year-old Poodle cross Maltese who is currently in our care through our Homestay scheme with his friend, Pluto, while we help them find their perfect forever home together.

Charlie is a happy, curious little chap who loves exploring, sniffing, and playing with toys. He adores cuddles and spending time with people, especially his sibling Pluto. He’s friendly with other dogs and loves playtime.
Charlie is housetrained and loves being part of family life. He’s looking for a calm, reassuring home because loud noises and fast-moving things like bikes can make him feel a bit unsettled.
Charlie will need a family who can be around most of the time at first, as he finds being left alone difficult. With patience and support, his confidence will grow, and leaving hours can be built up gradually. A strong support network—whether that’s multiple people in the household or family and friends—will help him feel secure.
He’s not the biggest fan of car travel yet, so a home that doesn’t need frequent journeys would be ideal. With short, positive experiences, he’ll learn that car rides can be fun too!
Charlie and Pluto share a wonderful bond, and they’re looking for a loving home where they can stay together and bring double the joy.
