If you are looking for an older dog who’s a pup at heart, look no further.  Charlie is an 8 year old, 68 lb love bug.  He is house trained and knows basic commands like sit, stay, and paw.  He loves toys and he loves to dig, so rather than putting him in a fenced yard with your begonias, he would be happier going on long walks–he does very well on the leash. A canine of refined taste, Charlie is picky about the dogs he likes, but he loves all humans.  Because he’s an older gent, Charlie is showing some kidney and thyroid issues, so we recommend he get regular vet visits to monitor him and be kept on a special diet.  Charlie is a great dog, and he’s ready to be a grateful and faithful companion to you!

If you are interested in adopting Charlie, or any of our other available pets, please visit the adopt page at www.dcspca.org. To meet one of our pets, you must have an approved adoption application on file. Those with approved applications can visit the shelter Wednesday through Sunday from 12pm to 5pm.

Founded in 1871, Dutchess County SPCA is celebrating 150 years of helping the animals of our region.
