Charlie Sleepypaws Family Dog Staffordshire Bull Terrier & Boston Terrier Mix Richmond, VA

This adorable boy is named Charlie. Charlie would make an amazing family dog, or a great loyal and loving companion dog to anyone ready for some silly sweetness in their life. Charlie has so much to brag about, hes easy on leash, great in the car, a canine-socialite that loves his doggy-friends, great with kids, and so friendly. Hes so fun and silly, a really great companion dog. He knows basic commands, hes good in his crate, playful and snuggly, and super gentle!

We believe that Charlie is a Pittie mix, maybe AmStaff and Boston Terrier, around 11 months old. He weighs in around 50 lbs right now, the perfect size for snuggles! Charlie is a rescue, so his exact age and breed are a bit of a mystery and cannot be guaranteed.

Charlie has GREAT manners, hes easy on leash, good in the car, and great in the house! No indoor accidents, no marking, no counter surfing, and not too jumpy or mouthy! This boy is solid, and ready for his forever home!

Charlie is a solidly medium energy boy, with a love for adventure that can only be matched by his penchant for comfy naps. Hes a huge fan of leash walks, and a connoisseur of comfortable sleeping spots.

Charlie takes treats gently, and hes very treat-motivated. He knows a handful of basic commands already, and he eagerly shows them off for snacks! He loves toys too, especially Nylabones! Hes good about sharing them too. Charlie is currently fostered in a home with a foster puppy, who he gets along well with and plays with often. They share beds, toys and treats without issue. Charlies foster dad reports that hes also a champ at bath time, super patient and gentle.

Charlie is great with other dogs, here at the rescue he played with some other dogs of his size and age. Heston did great with them! He politely greeted them, and he wasnt too pushy with his play. Hes a socialite and his social skills are amazing! Hell make a wonderful friend for your pup! Charlie did well meeting small scruff dogs as well, were proud to call him small-dog friendly.

Here at the rescue, Charlie was cat-tested by our behavior team. Unfortunately Charlie was a little too interested in the kitty, so we do recommend him for a cat-free home. Otherwise, Charlie could likely do well in just about any animal lovers home. Charlie was also kid-tested here at the rescue, and he did wonderfully meeting a three year old boy. We are recommending Charlie for a home with older, dog-savvy kiddos, he will make a great family dog!

Charlie is such a sweet, loyal and fun dog. Hes easy-peasy, he just needs a little affection, a little adventure, and a couple treats daily. We are willing to test Charlie with anything you need us to in order to ensure hes the perfect match for you! We can make anything happen! Just let us know.

https://g.co/kgs/UQ5Pyai We care deeply about making the perfect match between dog and family for long term success.

Our rescue has a 2 acre property in Texas where we assess every animal with trainers on staff, we modify behavior as needed, and create individualized behavior plans to help prepare dogs for their future families including crate training, potty training, leash walking, etc. Our fosters are able to attend group trainings and socialization play groups to keep dogs adoption-ready. Our on-site trainers support the positive growth of our dogs and we enjoy seeing their progress!

Our commitment to comprehensive medical care sets us apart. We've received glowing feedback from veterinarians who commend our dedication to ensuring the health and well-being of every animal in our care with treatments that often go above and beyond.

Our adoption fees reflect the extensive care and resources that go into each animal we save. The adoption fee is a donation to the mission and goes far beyond getting a fully vetted pet.

The rescues hard costs alone for a healthy dog to go through our program typically range between $412 to $859, which includes boarding, food, medications, vaccines, and spay/neuter. For heartworm-positive dogs, hard costs are upwards of $1,120. Additionally, dogs requiring extended boarding, extra training, or extra medical caresuch as dental work, vision care, or orthopedic carecan lead to expenses running into the thousands. Also, included in the fee are costs to cover transport up to the Pacific Northwest or East Coast.

Did you know that the Greater Houston area faces some of the highest stray and overpopulation rates in the nation? We are a non profit charity. Our goal is simple to reduce the homeless pet population through community outreach, free spay and neuter services, and by rescuing animals from the streets or overcrowded shelters where euthanasia due to lack of space is often the only option. The dog you've found online is not only lucky to be in our program, but also incredibly fortunate to have caught your eye. Thank you for considering adoption and for joining us in our mission!
