*Housetraining - he is pretty darn good at that stuff.

He would likely be fine with older, tolerant children - as long as they food boundaries were explained & respected. *Kids: Charlie has made buds with two 12 year old boys. Charlie camped a few days with a home with male dogs & while he was tolerant, he clearly preferred the female dogs. Charlie has 3 female foster sisters & does not mind them at all. *Coincidently, Charlie likes female dogs more than male dogs. We are hopeful to find a home where Charlie will be able to be an actual manвЂ™s best friend. He simply prefers men & is drawn to them. While CharlieвЂ™s fosters parents are a husband/wife couple, Charlie has proven to be hopelessly devoted to a male. Now, what Charlie really really wants: *A male best friend. If you find this unacceptable, you should pass on Charlie.

This may settle as he grows to trust his new family, but respecting those boundaries will be necessary. *BUT CharlieвЂ™s new family needs to understand that insistence on removing items from his mouth will lead to a bite. *Charlie has not shown any other aggressive behavior. *Charlie has not shown typical food aggression such as guarding in front of other dogs. *It seems that once Charlie has an item (food or not) in his mouth, a sudden effort to retrieve it (with good intent or not) is unsettling for him. We are aware of two prior incidents where something was taken from CharlieвЂ™s mouth & an attempt to move his bowl while eating - and it just did not go well. *Charlie has some resource guarding tendencies toward items in his mouth. Before we cover every way he is perfect, letвЂ™s cover his needs first. Charlie has some dachshund that maybe had a party with a beagle or a basset (around 20 pounds)- who knows, but he got the cute parts of all! Surrendered to a rural shelter because his family moved, Charlie found his way to DBPR & is now ready to become an alum. Charlie is a mid-aged dude (6ish years old) with an old soul. feature=youtu.be This Happy Friday brings us Charlie. More information about how we score this metric can be found here. Resources to help nonprofits improve their DEI practices can be found here. Charity Navigator has developed a plan to iterate and expand upon our preliminary DEI ratings and will be rolling it out gradually in order to provide charities ample time to incorporate, report, and potentially improve their equity practices. Our preliminary assessment of the nonprofit's DEI practices was developed with the expertise and advice of dozens of leaders in the nonprofit and philanthropic sectors and is based on the Equity Strategies information collected through Candid's Demographics profile. The National Council of Nonprofits has compiled several resources and studies that document how effective DEI practices can help organizations cultivate staff belonging and motivation, improve management and governance practices, and spark innovation that can help nonprofits achieve their missions. There is a growing body of research which shows that effective DEI practices can promote a more positive organizational culture, which can influence the nonprofit's ability to achieve impact on the people and communities they serve.
