Charlie Poodle Council Bluffs, IA

Charlie (b. Nov 2017) is a 15-pound miniature poodle who is seeking a home with no kids, no dogs, and preferably female only. Charlie has some quirky fears and would love an experienced pet owner who is willing to help him gain confidence. He doesn't like to share his favorite things, but he has improved so much while in foster care! Also on Charlie's wish list is an active person who enjoys lots of walking and going on adventures. He is up for anything, any time and is the perfect co-pilot when his foster mom has errands to run. In fact, Charlie loves car rides so much that he'd be a great companion for a truck driver!

Charlie does well with most people and dogs in open social settings, but can become nervous in enclosed settings, especially with strangers. These settings should be avoided to keep from overwhelming this sweet boy. Charlie is solidly potty trained and doesn't chew things he's not supposed to, so he's safe to roam the house while you're gone up to 4-5 hours. When you get home, he'll greet you with an excited happy dance and when it's time to settle in for some TV time, he's a perfect cuddler. Charlie can be a talker at times, so no apartments where neighbors might be disturbed. If his adopter works from home, it should be a job that won't be impacted if Charlie barks occasionally. Charlie has SO many positive qualities and is such a smart boy! He simply needs that special, patient someone to help him become the best Charlie he can be!

The suggested adoption donation for Charlie is $315. Muddy Paws is a 501c3 non-profit organization which means that part of your donation MAY be TAX DEDUCTIBLE. We are a 100% volunteer rescue committed to giving animals a second chance at life. All donations go toward that mission. Adoption fees are the primary source of funding for the cost of veterinary care for our animals. In 2020 alone, we were able to provide animal Healthcare costing over $241,000 covered mainly through adoption fees.

Information about the adoption process: All adoptions require a completed ADOPTION APPLICATION. Once your application is approved, we will put you in touch with the animal's foster to see if you and the pet are a good match. If so, we will arrange a meeting for you and the animal. The adoptions for all of our animals will take place in the Omaha, NE area and must be done by the adoptive family in person. We do not ship or deliver.

Please Note: We are a RESCUE, which is different from a shelter. We conduct veterinary and personal reference checks during the application approval process. We always select the right applicant for each animal, based on the animal's needs. If you and the animal are not a good match, we will help you select another animal, or we will keep your approved application on file for 6 months.
