My name is
Charlotte Grace!

If you are looking for a wonderful, sweet girl, who is greatly in need, please read on about Charlotte Grace. Although not a little, fluffy, Shih Tzu, which most of our clients seek, once you learn about the difficulties Charlotte Grace has endured, you might open your heart to this terrific terrier. Charlotte Grace was abandoned on the streets and came to us over 2 years ago. She was about 8 years old, unspayed, had burns on some of her paw pads, and had heartworms. We were able to spay her, and her paw pads healed nicely. The heartworm treatment was eventually successful, but the disease left her with a bad case of pulmonary hypertension. She is comfortable at rest, but coughs if she gets too excited or exercises too much. Her last check up at the cardiologist was good in that her condition had stabilized.

 

          Charlotte Grace is a friendly, fun, silly girl, who will make a devoted, loving companion. She adores being with people, receiving belly rubs, going for short walks, and just hanging out. Most of her time will need to be inside, out of the heat, and calm. Charlotte Grace is now about 10 years old. She is overweight, but should be about

15-16 pounds at proper weight. She will be best as the only dog at home, or with another, mellow, male dog (no females).

   

     Despite her history of neglect, abandonment, and heartworm disease, Charlotte Grace is a beautiful, spirited, fantastic girl, who enjoys every day to the fullest.  She may not be the dog you thought you were looking for at Shih Tzu Rescue, but, if you want to love and support one of our dogs in greatest need, please consider Charlotte Grace, and put in an application, and/or call Harriet today. Please watch the video at the end of the photos to see sweet Charlotte Grace enjoying her people time and warming our hearts. She is amazing!
