About Charles Barkley

Meet Charles Barkley, a charming seven-year-old Chihuahua mix with a gentle spirit and a fondness for cozy couches. Found as a stray with a collar bearing his name, we decided to keep it. Though he’s estimated to be seven, it’s possible he’s a bit older. Charles is laid-back and would thrive in a quiet home, grateful for leisurely days filled with love and comfort. Initially cautious with new people, he quickly warms up, showcasing his sweet personality. While he enjoys his couch potato lifestyle, he also has a playful side, especially when squeaky toys are involved. Charles arrived from the county’s E-list needing medical attention. He had kennel cough, a slight heart murmur, and significant dental issues, but after receiving care, he feels much better, with his cough gone and eight troublesome teeth removed. Now, he’s ready to embrace life with renewed energy! Charles seeks a peaceful home where he can relax and enjoy gentle playtime. If you can make room on your couch for this delightful senior gentleman, Charles Barkley would love to meet you! His adoption fee is sponsored, covering essential services like neutering, vaccinations, and a wellness visit at Phoenix Mountain Animal Hospital. Take the first step towards bringing Charles home by reaching out for an appointment or visiting during walk-in hours. Click apply to start the adoption process.
