About Swiss Charlie

Meet Swiss Charlie! This delightful little senior is packed with personality. He enjoys playing with toys, often carrying a squeaky ball around the house and nudging it against your feet for a game. Casual walks through the neighborhood are right up his alley, too. In his foster home, he’s been living with two 50lb dogs and gets along peacefully with them. He has spotted cats before but prefers a slow introduction to avoid his terrier side coming out too strong. With a current weight of about 15lbs, he’s on a mission to shed some pounds and get closer to his ideal weight of 10lbs. Despite being a senior, he sure acts like he’s full of youthful energy and loves to chase after toys. Swiss Charlie is an easygoing and cheerful companion who would fit beautifully into many different kinds of homes. Make this charming little guy a part of your life. What are you waiting for?
