About Charlie

Charlie is a delightful 2-year-old Shih Tzu who is looking for a loving home after being surrendered with his brother, Crowley. Weighing in at around 22 pounds, he’s the perfect size for cuddling and going on walks, though he’s still working on building his confidence in a world that can be a bit loud for him. This gentle boy gets along well with other dogs and enjoys their company, but his favorite spot is right beside his humans. There’s something special about how he offers his paw when he wants to cuddle. It’s hard to resist such charm! Charlie is fully house trained, vaccinated, and neutered, ready to bring his affection to a new family. He dreams of a cozy home filled with love and snuggles, and he's eager to leave Texas behind. Could you be the one to offer him a happily ever after? Click apply to start the adoption process.
