Charlotte – 10 year old female Labrador Cross


Charlotte (ref 69d) is a 10 year old shy but extremely lovable smooth-coated female Black Labrador cross. She arrived at Derby RSPCA Centre when her last owner, who owned a very large number of dogs, found herself no longer able to cope with so many animals. She is essentially a gentle and friendly dog who really loves being stroked, but she is still a tiny bit timid when faced with new experiences. She simply needs to gain a little more confidence.

Charlotte doesn’t have much experience of going for walks, so she needs to get the hang of it gently and quietly so that she doesn’t get alarmed. She finds heavy traffic and sudden sharp noises a bit unsettling at present and can sometimes look a little worried when strangers pass near her on the pavement, but she is already so much more confident and intrepid than she was and should adjust very quickly as long as she gets plenty of walks.

Charlotte would be suitable for a calm, gentle and loving household where she would be allowed plenty of time to adjust to life and where her new owners have experience and understanding of dogs.

She will require plenty of exercise, so an active but non-rowdy home would be the right place for Charlotte. Any children living in the household would need to be aged 10+ and very kind to animals, because she doesn’t yet know how to play and noisy, rough behaviour would frighten her.

She is used to living with dogs but seems to ignore cats altogether at present. She has had precious little training, but is a pleasant and intelligent dog who should be reasonably swift to learn. Charlotte is a very, very likeable dog who deserves a long and happy life in a loving new home surrounded by patient, loving, caring, dog-friendly people.
