Urgent: Charles Desperately Seeking a Loving New Home
Charles with Victoria James
Charles's Story
This is lovely, lovely Charles, a 4 year old male Cocker Spaniel Cross. Charles is on a doggy mission to find his new life companion, someone who can take care of him, give him lots of cuddles and nice walks!!
Charles is full of energy, enthusiasm and just wants a secure home where he can be happy!!
Charles came from Lebanon where he was found abandoned and tied up in the city of Beirut in 2010. As an Animal Trainer and Behaviourist I was called in to work with Charles when he was brought over to France by Chiens d’ici et d’ailleurs.
Charles has been staying in a lovely ‘pension familiale’ that I found where he is very much loved, especially by the husband of the owner of the pension. While her husband practices playing the guitar in the afternoon, Charles very much enjoys sitting with him and they both enjoy a lovely afternoon and relaxing siesta!!
I have continued to train and work with Charles and since he arrived in France he has blossomed. He is calmer, feels more confident and assured in himself; you can see how happy he is just by looking into his eyes. He really is a different dog! He loves his walks, he learns very quickly, is very eager to please and has mastered so many different behaviours and skills.
Charles has improved in his sociability with other dogs and has improved two fold with his heelwork. He loves his off the lead walks and loves to come back to do some ‘sits’, ‘twist’s and ‘roll -overs’ and he absolutely adores the tunnel too!!
Charles is toilet trained, obedient, loves his baths and is fantastic around the house, enjoying lying in his bed and playing with toys. Since being here his play behaviour has really increased, he now has experience of toys and knows how to play.
I wanted to tell everyone a little bit about Charles as we have been looking for a home for him for a while now without success and he really needs to find his new ‘forever’ home so I wondered if anyone out there may be able to offer Charles the home he truly deserves!! He has so much to give and would provide great companionship and I together with Chiens d’ici et d’ailleurs would love nothing more than to find him his perfect home!!
We are looking for a home that has no cats and no young children. A home could be considered that has a small sociable dog. Essentially Charles would require a home where someone can spend the time training him further, taking forward what he has learnt so far and taking him on nice walks.
I will provide all aftercare (assistance with training, guidance on routines, advice etc) so Charles’s new owner would have all the support they need. All the training foundations are there, Charles just needs a home and someone who can be there with him each day.
Charles is a very loving dog; all he needs is love and someone’s time!
Charles is Microchipped (Microchip Number: 958000001471723), fully vaccinated up to date and castrated.
