Charlotte S Web has soft black fur with a white undercoat and various white splotches on her chest and tummy, perky ears, a foxlike tail (with just a hint of a white dip on the tip), and paws that are white dipped.

Say hello to Charlotte S Web (AKA Charlie). Charlie is a lovebug who likes to be close to her pack, and once she gets to know you, enjoys giving kisses. She is a sweet, friendly, playful, calm pup who enjoys going for walks, and her leash skills are steadily improving. Charlie gets along wonderfully with her foster brother (a 1.5-year-old male pit mix), and she is good at sharing her toys with him. When we encounter other dogs on our walks, from afar she is curious; as we get closer, she gets a little nervous with excitable dogs. But after being properly introduced, she does well. We have been working on crate training—she doesn't mind sleeping in her crate, as long as she is in the same room as the rest of us and has a chew toy. When we leave, she does well in the crate. We haven't been around any cats or children to gauge her reaction (other than passing them on the sidewalk, during which she has not reacted negatively). Although Charlie occasionally chews on something soft that isn’t hers, she is easily redirected to trades with an appropriate chew toy or bone. She loves filled dog bones and peanut butter seems to be her favorite flavor. Charlie is a curious girl who likes chasing squirrels and birds, and exploring new places.
