Name: Sir Charles Winston Cox-Melanson III ... but we just call him Charlie

Nickname: Charlie Bean, Charleston, Charles Barkley, Teefer Sutherland, Old Man, and Bobo.

Species/breed: Marvellous Mystery Mutt with American Staffordshire Terrier tendencies.

Age: The shelter we rescued him from figures he’s about 8-years-old.

Fave food: Anything edible that is not a vegetable and most things that are not edible. He is partial to pizza crust and peanut butter toast.

Special tricks: He builds nests out of pillows and blankets around the house for the ultimate snuggle puddle. He is uninterested in learning other tricks.

Best quality: Despite being a stray and in a kill shelter, Charlie is the sweetest dog alive. He loves to snuggle with his people and in the nests that he builds.

Social media platform or handle, if available: Charlie is on Instagram at darksidecharlie. His feeder lady and account manager is not always great at updating it, and pictures are often of him napping.
