About Charlie

Adoption Fee: $150
Lab / Rhodesian Ridgeback
Age: Young Adult
Sex: Female

Charlie was adopted by us through a shelter, who told us she was a Lab/German Shepherd mix. As she has grown, it was apparent she has Rhodesian Ridgeback or some kind of hound in her. She displays typical Ridgeback characteristics of being a somewhat difficult dog in terms of obedience and getting into trouble but is also very sweet, smart, and athletic. We have worked with a specialized trainer and are still having issues. Our family is very attached to her but she is very mouthy and has bitten my children, although she has never broken the skin on anyone. She loves to jog and run and play. She has anxiety riding in a car but responds well to anxiety meds on days when a car ride is necessary. Someone familiar with Ridgebacks or hounds, an experienced dog owner would be ideal. She was easily crate trained and potty trained very early. Because she is not good with a group of dogs, boarding or dog day care have not been good situations for her. She does get along with a family member's dog, he is 10 years old, dominant male and unaltered. She is 72 pounds, tall and lean and long, and blonder than in the picture. The shelter says she is 'unadoptable' because of her biting so they won't take her back but we do not want to euthanize her. She is microchipped.
