About this Dog
Animal Profile: Charlie is an estimated 4 to 5 year old Lab Great Pyrenees mix (DNA confirmed) who was taken in by a good samaritan after she was abandoned at a property when her "owners" moved away. She was an undersocialized, underweight, fearful outdoor dog but showed great resilience and capacity to bond and love with her new caretaker. She is now healthy, vetted, and ready to find a family to call her own. Charlie has been very receptive to training and currently lives with 5- and 9-year-old boys who she adores and two other dogs who have helped her learn the ropes. Though Charlie enjoys the company of children and is friendly meeting them, we will be seeking a home with adults or older dog-savvy children due to resource guarding behaviors stemming from her history of abandonment and breed tendencies that will need management in a home environment. Charlie should be fed in her crate and high value objects should not be taken from her without warning/command or she can be protective of her resources (growling/snapping). She has made great strides in this department and we are confident with continued relationship-based training these behaviors will continue to diminish. Charlie is well suited to an active lifestyle and it's apparent that she wants a primary person to bond with. She walks very nicely on leash and is well attuned to her handler; she'd likely make a great running companion. That said, she isn't "high energy" and does settle well in the home, even without a ton of daily exercise. Charlie is now house trained, crate trained, and does not exhibit separation anxiety. Charlie will thrive with a large guardian breed savvy family with a secure yard, with or without canine companions, and older dog-savvy children; she has not been tested with cats. Adoption Info: The adoption fee is $400, which includes spay/neuter, core vaccinations per AVMA standards, flea/tick treatment, deworming, and microchip with lifetime registration. Your adoption fee may be tax deductible as DGS is a 501c3 organization. Apply Online: www.doggoneseattle.org/adoption-application Animal History: Charlie was acquired as a puppy (unknown history) by an individual who had her as an outside dog, and then abandoned her; she was taken in by a good samaritan on Bainbridge Island in January 2025 and is now available for adoption in the greater Seattle area.

Adopt Charlie and Receive Charlie's Fund
Adopting a pet can be expensive, and we're trying to help by fundraising for each individual in need of adoption. After verifying the adoption, Charlie's new family will receive the funds that their pet has raised.
$0.0 is Charlie's current balance
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. If you adopted the Charlie, thank you for providing a home and a loving family!
Please begin the process of claiming Charlie's contribution here.
For adoptions in which nokillnetwork.org was the matchmaker and we have contact information for both parties, we make every effort to contact the adopting family. For adoptions that were not facilitated by nokillnetwork.org, we still encourage the adopting family to claim the contribution by submitting the necessary information.
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. The adopting family will be required to provide proof of adoption between 4-6 weeks after adoption. This is to ensure that the home is a good match and Charlie was not returned. After we have verified the adoption, Charlie’s balance will be sent to the adopting family. Our staff provides instructions and help throughout this process.
We want the Charlie’s balance to go to the adopting family as a way to say thank you for providing a loving home and to help with pet care expenses. In the unfortunate event we cannot contact them and verify the adoption, Charlie’s balance will remain in our general fund. This fund may be used to match contributions made to other adoptable pets, incentify other adoption-related actions, promote our mission, or support the operating expenses of nokillnetwork.org. If you would like to make a direct contribution to nokillnetwork.org to help us help other pets in need, you can go here. We appreciate your generosity and help!
