Charlie the Famous Shelter Dog Has Finally Been Adopted By An Old Friend

The seven-year-old Mastiff lived with his doting fur mom in Chula Vista, California, since he was just an adorable pup. When his owner passed away, he was left with no other family members to take him in, the Mastiff ended up in the local shelter.

He was eventually transferred to the Encinitas-based shelter called Rancho Coastal Humane Society, where he had been staying since December 2019. The shelter staff did their very best to find Charlie his next new home. However, plenty of people would immediately get intimidated by the canine’s massive size.

That was why despite him being a huge sweetheart and a friendly pup, not many adoption applications came for him in the past several months, making him the shelter’s longest resident. To help the sweet dog, CBS News 8, decided to cover his story and feature him in their news program.
