Charlie Bean is a border collie-boxer mix with a sleek black coat and white tips on her paws and tail. She has the softest ears and a very expressive face with big brown puppy dog eyes.

Charlie Bean is a sweet, people-oriented pup who loves to play and cuddle! She also loves to run around with her toys and chew on her bone. But she is happiest when she gets to play and interact with her humans. Charlie Bean loves to charm all of the visitors into being her new best friend!<p>She is crate trained and house trained, and is learning her leash manners quickly. She knows "Sit," and “Down” and is working on learning other basic commands, and is generally a well-behaved pup. She gets along fantastically with other dogs. Charlie Bean has been doing well with her kitty housemate; but she can be very curious and should be closely monitored around cats until she is fully acclimated to them.<p>When Charlie first came to her foster home, she was a shy little pup; but she has been doing great coming out of her shell! She now loves going on long walks around the neighborhood and hiking with her friends. New places and cars passing by can still be a little scary. She would love to find her forever family to adventure with!<p>Follow Charlie on her adventures on Instagram! https://www.instagram.com/theabsoluteboy/
