Charlie is a 7 month old German Shepard Cross  and has been apart of Heather's family since he was 3 months old. Charlie loves going on long walks, playing with other dogs, fetching a frisbee and snuggling with Heather's two kiddos. 

Charlie is always up for an adventure, whether it's hiking a mountain or going for a car ride. He loves leg massages, giving high fives and receiving hugs. Whether you are going through a hard time or celebrating a big moment, Charlie is your pal who will be right by your side through it all!

Since Charlie is currently in training to become a therapy dog, he isn't attending Inner Wellness Therapy quite yet. If you or your child have allergies or are scared of dogs, don't worry, as Charlie can always use a day off at home to play with his kitties, George and Willow.
