Charlie the Bordoodle

Description: Lets talk about Charlie.  His owner got him from a puppy mill in Ohio.  Paid good money and had him shipped here.  Thats always a recipe for disaster :(  His owner was already sick and within the 8 months of Charlies life the owner died.Charlie has had no exposure to ANYTHING :(   We have started working with him exposing him to people, bicycles, walks etc.  Charlie is a super smart dog and is learning quickly but he will need a family that understands there is still much work to do.  An adopter MUST be willing to work with our behaviorist for at least 3 sessions.Charlie requires a fenced yard Click for more information...
