Charlie

Meet Charlie, a sweet and soulful two-and-a-half-year-old Pit Bull from Fullerton, CA, whose black-and-white coat is just as striking as her heart is tender! At around 60 pounds, Charlie is a medium-sized bundle of affection who’s ready to give all her love to a family that will enjoy her joyful, gentle spirit.

Charlie is a people pup through and through—she absolutely adores humans, including young children, and greets each new friend with wagging excitement and a soft heart! She thrives on companionship and would love a family that’s active, attentive, and home to spend time with her throughout the day. Whether it’s a walk through the neighborhood or a hike on a trail, Charlie is all in. And don’t forget the tennis balls and pig-squeaky toys—those are her absolute favorite!

She’s already mastered basic commands like “sit,” “stay,” and “lay down,” and she’s crate-trained and well-behaved when left alone for short periods. Her daily routine includes a morning walk, playtime and zoomies in the afternoon, and a cozy bedtime routine after a final evening stroll. She’s got just the right balance of playfulness and chill, making her a great match for both active households and those that love a little quiet cuddle time.

Charlie hasn’t shown signs of stress or anxiety, and while her interactions with other dogs have been neutral, she’s mostly content to do her own thing. Her thoughts on cats are still a mystery, but with slow introductions and patience, she may be open to sharing her space. Grooming is low-maintenance—just a bath every few weeks and some wipe-downs in between, plus her trusty dental chews to keep that smile gleaming!
