I present to you... Charlie!
My "new" dog - he's not actually that new, more on that later.
He's a Belgian Shepherd. I got him from a foundation that got him from a shelter. He's probably been through a lot, judging by his behaviour.
I'll tell you some of his story. Some family left him in a shelter because "someone is alergic to him" (after around 2 years of having him in your home you realized that???), then the foundation took him.
Someone took him from the foundation for a week or two saying that "The dog is too agressive" (yeah, sure buddy, I totally belive that) and now he's in my hands.
And as I said, he isn't really new anymore. I've got him since March of this year. He's an awesome dog, really friendly and curious but easily scared of every-single-thing.
