Meet Charlie | Rehome With Love

Charlie is a black pit mix, about 5 1/2 years old. We live in Escondido. He is neutered, microchipped, electric fence trained. His shots are up-to-date.

Charlie is a loyal, affectionate dog who loves people and forms strong bonds with his family. He's great with my 6-year-old daughter and loves being around his people.

Charlie is naturally protective and will let you know when someone is at the door. Despite his alert bark, he's very friendly with people. Even when I'm not home, he's done well with workers coming to the house and enjoys making new friends.

Unfortunately, my daughter and I are moving across the country and are not able to take him with us because of my new job and housing situation. This has been an incredibly difficult decision.

Charlie would make a wonderful companion for someone looking for a devoted, people-oriented dog.
