About Charlie

They are waiting with paws crossed! Apply now! Charlie came to the rescue at just three weeks old alongside five littermates, bravely enduring a difficult start marked by severe upper respiratory infections. Despite losing two siblings, Charlie’s resilience shone through as he and his sister underwent eye surgery to remove a third eyelid causing vision trouble. He now lives with a chronic upper respiratory infection, which means he will need ongoing supplements and high-quality food to keep him comfortable. Charlie’s special needs status arises from his persistent symptoms, including runny eyes and nasal stuffiness, but these challenges haven’t dulled his sweet and loving personality. If you have a big heart and are seeking a loyal, affectionate companion, Charlie is hoping to find a safe, understanding home where he can flourish. As the sweetest boy ever, he will reward your care with endless affection and gratitude. Start your journey together! Apply now.
