Charlotte is 3-4 year old former “yard dog” that is learning that the big-wide world can be a kind, loving and not-so-scary place. She is learning about living in a house and walking on leash. She is totally house-broken. She is crate-trained but doesn’t seem to need it.

She’s submissive to the two grumpy-granny dogs in the foster home. She was a little alarmed by a standard poodle who just wanted to play – that might have been due to the size difference. Mama C is a ‘pocket’ Aussie – only 30-35 pounds of pure adoration for her people. Her favorite place is at her person’s feet or snuggling on the couch.

She does have a strong guardian instinct that will need to be managed with a firm, but gentle direction. She is devastated by strong correction. She is uncertain and a little fearful around little kids. She has shown an unhealthy interest in small furry critters.

Charlotte is a fairly low energy girl. We walk 4-5 miles a day and that seems to be enough physical activity for her. Charlotte does not have access to toys in her current foster home, but was starting to show interest in a former foster home.
