Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Charlie is a (naked) Maltese who's about 7 years old and weighs 11 pounds. This poor guy has a heartbreaking story. His owner, an older lady who absolutely adored him, passed away last year. Her callous, inhumane daughter took Charlie and kept him in one room of the house the majority of the time. Then she said she couldn't handle Charlie barking (because he was lonely!) so she decided to get rid of him.
The completely bizarre thing is she shaved this poor dog to the skin! When asked why she shaved him like that, she replied that she didn't want hair on the furniture! He's NOT a shedding dog! Honestly, I hope her mother comes back to haunt her for the rest of her life! You can see by Charlie's "before" pic that the mother took excellent care of him.
Despite the last horrific year, Charlie's sweet temperament has not been damaged and he's still an affectionate, sweet guy which is a testament to the resilience of dogs. Charlie loves to go for walks and is great in the car. He's well-behaved and loves attention and cuddling. His favorite place is by your side or in your lap. Charlie gets along well with other dogs and is good with kids and excellent in the car. He's so sweet and easy and small he'll be the perfect companion you can take anywhere.
If you are interested in meeting and possibly adopting Charlie, the first step is to submit an adoption application. Please go to our website www.k9bestfriendsforever.com and click on "Adopt" which will take you to our online application form.
