CHARLIE Shepherd Cranston, RI

Charlie will require an experienced owner who will continue to show him the ropes. He is very smart and wants to learn. He is best suited for an adult home with a fenced yard. He is about 10 months old and loves to run and play.

*Restricted breed rule: unfortunately, due to the stigma surrounding multiple breeds, particularly Bully and Germans Shepherd, we are unable to adopt dogs/puppies to potential adopters that rent. Many have been returned to us in the past when the owners are unable to find appropriate housing for themselves and their dogs. We understand that many adopters rent from family/friends but unless the adopters name is on the tax bill we are unable to adopt dog/puppies listed as a restricted breed.*

*PLEASE NOTE: DUE TO STRINGENT OUT OF STATE HEALTH CERTIFICATE REQUIREMENTS WE ARE NOW ONLY ADOPTING TO RHODE ISLAND RESIDENTS*. We apologize for the inconvenience.
