Who wants the best fetch partner ever?   Charlie is your guy!!  He always has a ball with him and is ready to fetch!  You wouldn’t guess this guy to be 9 years old!   He is a Lab/Beagle mix that was picked up as a stray in rural Missouri.  No one came to the shelter to claim him.  Charlie obviously had a loving family at one time, he is the perfect gentleman in the house, following all the rules.  He will go into a crate if you want him to, but why when he has earned the trust to enjoy the full range of the house!   He is potty trained, knows basic commands (sit, down, stay, and most importantly FETCH!). Charlie would play fetch 24/7 if he had a buddy that could handle his fetching stamina, lol.  Charlie has a good visit at the vet, only a couple minor notes at this time.  He does have mild cataracts, no treatment is needed for them.  He also has some arthritis in his back legs.  Glucosamine supplement was recommended for him daily.  This is a very inexpensive supplement, costing only $6 for a two month supply.  Charlie enjoys other dogs as long as they don’t want to wrestle and jump on him, he believes that is nonsense and only for the young ones to partake.  Charlie don’t mind cats and kids, he probably wouldn’t want younger kids that may get rough with him, he just wants a fetching buddy!  Is that you?
