🌟 Meet Charlie, the spirited red dachshund who's here to remind everyone that heroes don’t always wear capes—and sometimes they come on wheels! 🚀 This 11-year-old, 18lb gentleman has faced life’s challenges head-on with an unbreakable spirit. After his previous owner faced a tough situation and couldn’t bring him along, Charlie had a chance to rewrite his story and embrace new beginnings. ✨ As a true IVDD survivor, Charlie has shown that resiliency is in his DNA. Though he wobbles a bit when he walks, he doesn’t let that slow him down! With mobility wheels now part of his adventure toolkit, he’s ready to explore the world with a cheerful heart. Plus, he thrives on a relaxed lifestyle and enjoys short strolls around the yard—but don’t let his calm demeanor fool you! His humans should always keep an eye out for signs when he’s ready to take a break. 🏡 Charlie's home requirements are flexible! He doesn't need a fenced yard and prefers gated areas over a crate. This makes him the perfect companion for a variety of living situations. Now, let's address the potty business—our brave boy wears belly bands and is diligently working on his potty schedule. A small adjustment for such an extraordinary bond! ❤️ Charlie adores his human pals and is the ultimate snuggler! He may not have met children yet, but he certainly has a warm greeting for all adults he encounters, albeit with a little barking. When it comes to furry friends, he’s selective. A calm dog who respects his space would be ideal, but Charlie is also perfectly happy to soak up all the love as the only pet in his forever home! 😊 🐶 Health-wise, Charlie is a diabetic superhero! He takes his insulin shots like a champion and thrives on a special diet—all part of his routine that he handles with grace. Although one of his eyes is losing sight, let that not deter you! This resilient little guy still finds joy in playing with tennis balls and loves munching on cucumbers. His spirit remains unwavering, proving that his medical needs are merely a part of his fabulous existence. ✈️ Charlie is currently available for adoption from Chatham, VA. Remember, to adopt this incredible dog, potential adopters must apply through the Buddy App. Don’t miss the chance to invite this hero into your home! 💖
