Hi, my name is Charlie and I'm an eleven year old black lab. Everyone keeps telling me that I'm a senior but I don't believe them; eleven is the new 7 you know.
I am what you would call a bit of a gentle giant, I just love everyone and everything including these two new things I've learned about living with my foster family: belly rubs and doggie beds. At first I didn't understand what they were but now that I know - Wow! Are they awesome!
I enjoy walks and do really well off leash in the park where I love playing fetch with tennis balls. I am also an excellent food critic if you ever need some critiquing, though I'll be honest, I have yet to taste something I didn't like. I especially enjoy roasted veggies. Yum, yum.
Being a wiser and more experienced doggie, I like to reflect and philosophize when I'm at home (just because it sounds like I'm snoring doesn't mean I'm not pondering the meaning of life) and I especially like to hang out and be near you. Now that I have been learning all about this crazy thing called love, I can't get enough. It means so much to know that you love me just the way I am. And while I am definitely young at heart, I have a couple of parts that aren't as lively - my vet said that I once had a torn muscle in my leg that was never treated so some days it's a little hard for me to sit down. Also, while my bladder can make it 6-8 hours if you are out, I really feel much better if I'm able to go every few hours.
My foster mom keeps telling me that I have an amazing forever family out there looking for me where I will be showered with love. I sure hope it's you! I can't wait to be home with you.
If you are interested in adopting this part time food critic/full time love machine, please email adopting@hopefulhearts.ca and ask for an application for Charlie!
If you are a foster and would like to see your foster as Dog of the Week, please email us.
UPDATE: Charlie has been adopted!
