My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

COURTESY LISTING
* CHARLIE IS BEING FOSTERED IN FRESNO *

Charlie is an adorable 10-yr-old Maltese/ShihTzu mix. Dogs lose their homes for many different reasons... most of which have nothing to do with the dog: death of a guardian, not enough time for the dog, change in work schedule, new baby, need to move to a place where dogs are not allowed, kids going off to college, change in lifestyle, prospective spouse does not like dogs, or the novelty has worn off and they just no longer want the responsibility of taking care of a dog. All of these reasons are taken from real case histories, but whatever the reason given, the bottom line is the same: an innocent dog has been abandoned by the humans he once trusted and he doesn't understand why. In an instant, his world has been turned upside down.

Charlie is being surrendered by his owners because they are moving and, unfortunately, cannot take him. He is very healthy, current on vaccines, and has had a recent dental cleaning. He's a bit overweight right now at 18 lbs (due to being free-fed), but that's easy to fix -- just feed a low-cal meal twice a day and take a daily walks and he will be in great shape in no time! Charlie is very friendly and a great companion.

With Charlie you really have the best of both worlds. Charlie is healthy and young-at-heart. He's way past everything you dislike about puppyhood, and he has plenty of energy without being hyper. He loves to go for walks, gets along great with everyone (including kids), and rides well in the car.

Small dogs such as Charlie can live up to 20+ years, so you still have the opportunity to give him the best years of his life!

Charlie's adoption fee is $125.
