About Charlie
Charlie may be tiny at just 5 pounds, but this charming 8-year-old Chihuahua has a heart ready to grow. Rescued from a troubling hoarding situation with over 130 dogs, he arrives with some understandable shyness, yet curiosity often draws him out. Charlie quietly observes the world, taking small but brave steps toward trust every day. To help him thrive in a forever home, Charlie needs another friendly small dog by his side. A confident canine companion will help him build courage, showing him that life outside the hoarding environment is filled with love, soft beds, and gentle hands. Charlie is crate trained and potty pad trained, and he rides well in the car. He’s learning to navigate life on a leash, so his new family should patiently continue to introduce him to this new experience.

A patient family and a confident little dog friend are all he needs to blossom into the loyal companion he's meant to be.
