Steve got a call from the former owner of Clyde, who asked if the Sanctuary would take Charlie, a four month old Rottweiler mix. At such a young age, Charlie had already killed a chicken and a cat, and finally his owner decided she couldn't afford to take care of him anymore. Charlie had spent a great deal of time chained up in the yard, even being such a young puppy, and he was already exhibiting some very aggressive and defensive behaviors. Being placed into a stable pack environment has been the best possible thing for him, and he has lost most of his fear of people and all of his fear of other dogs. Charlie is a happy, noisy boy, and he loves playing with his best friends, Clyde and Lupe.

Charlie doesn't like to sit still; this is the only picture of him that turned out.
