My story

Alpha human wanted! Hi! I’m Charlie, and I’m seeking a strong guardian who will keep me on a short leash. Here’s the thing about being on a short leash: It means I get to be close to you. Did you know that AmStaffs have a reputation for being friendly, affectionate, loyal, and eager to please their guardians? This describes me perfectly, but here’s the thing — I’m not a fan of other dogs getting in my face. If they ignore me, I’ll ignore them, but I prefer they stay 6 feet away. I’m a lover, not a fighter. That’s why I need you to fight my battles and keep me safe. If you have my back, I’ll give you my heart. When the volunteers take me out, so many people comment on how handsome I am, but I haven’t found the right guardian yet. It’s hard for dogs like me to find the right match. Some people might be scared (or maybe jealous) of my muscles, but they say my strongest muscle is my heart. I love to ride in the car, so professional drivers, road trippers, and adventurers are strongly encouraged to apply. I recently went on a road trip with some volunteers, and they said I was the best boy the whole time. During the trip, I even stayed in a hotel, and the volunteers said I have great respect for other people’s territory. I’m obsessed with water, so bonus points to any applicant with a kiddie pool, sprinkler, bathtub, or hose. I’m a native Angelino, but for the right guardian, I’m willing to relocate. If you are interested in meeting Charlie, please download the Adoption Questionnaire, fill it out and email it back to us at info@farescue.org or fax (310) 362-0321. You can also meet this and/or other available dogs at our weekend adoptions. [Charlie is about 8 years young and weighs 55-60 lbs.] (2304)

If you have any questions or would like to adopt Charlie, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
