About Charlie

Meet Charlie! Charlie is a stunning Heeler mix, weighing in at 82 pounds of pure love. At 9 years young, he carries quite a tale. He first came to us in 2018 with severe skin issues, but with lots of care, we nursed him back to health. Just look at that beautiful coat! Charlie once found happiness in a loving home for five wonderful years. He was so cherished that he even returned for spa days, always the happy boy. Unfortunately, his owner’s health began to decline, and Charlie had to search for a new family. In 2023, he was adopted again, but when circumstances changed, he found himself back with us. This sweet senior boy is hoping to finally find his forever home. It's not about shame; it's about love. We want to ensure Charlie spends his golden years feeling safe, loved, and cherished. He adores people, is eager to please, and has plenty of love left to give. He deserves a family that will appreciate him throughout his golden years. Charlie gets along wonderfully with dogs but does not share well with cats. This gentle giant is ready to find his true forever home. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
