If you’ve got some high energy in your family home, then I am the perfect pet for you. My name is Charlie, and I am a 20 pound, black and white Australian Shepherd mix. I’m not sure what my birthday is, but they tell me I am about 1 year old. Second Chance Small Dog Rescue took me in after I was found exploring Kosciusko County all by myself. They have made sure that I am up to date on my shots, have micro-chipped me and in December they had me neutered. Although I like to be the top dog in a house, I do get along with most compliant dogs and I am good with children. I am crate and house trained and could probably use some obedience training. Currently, I like running and playing with my friends in my foster home so a fenced yard would suit me just fine. I am friendly, happy and, as you can see, awfully cute. Call Second Chance or go online today to set up my adoption, you won’t be disappointed.
