My name is Athena!

Thank you for choosing our rescue to apply to find your new best friend! We have requirements set in place to ensure our dogs find the best homes suited for their needs. Please note that applying does not guarantee the ability to adopt one of our rescue dogs. We reserve the right to deny adoption to anyone. All applications must be fully completed. Any applications missing information will be deemed invalid. If a question does not apply to you, fill in “N/A”. Before proceeding please keep in mind dogs can be more than a decade-long commitment. You must be ready to commit to that dog for the rest of their lives. Dogs need consistent companionship just like human toddlers.

WE DO NOT HAVE A SHELTER LOCATION! We are entirely foster based. Tabatha has a small boarding sanctuary in her home with limited space. Appointments must be scheduled.

Let me introduce myself! Hi, My name is Tabatha! I am the founder and CEO of Charlie's Corner Animal Sanctuary INC. My mission is to rescue and vet unwanted, abandoned dogs in Central Florida.
If you asked me when I was a little girl what my dream job would be, I would have told you "To rescue animals!" As I grew up I basically did that exact thing by adopting my own dogs but I yearned to create a bigger impact. I always daydreamed about owning a dog sanctuary. A safe place where dogs experience endless love and care. My friends and family always encouraged me to pursue my dream but it seemed so big. The rescue industry was already so overwhelming. Could I handle that? I thought more about it and concluded I already have my dog sanctuary and it just needs to be made official. So I did my research and filed for my 501(c)3 nonprofit. We are a small rescue but even being small, helping one dog at a time is worth it.


I got the name Charlie's Corner from my very own dog Charlie. Charlie is a very special dog named after a very special human. Charlie is very sensitive and sweet. He is always in someone's corner. I rescued Charlie from Georgia 8 years ago. Charlie technically started it all, so it's only fair I honor him.
This is just the beginning of a beautiful but hard journey. Thank you to those who have already shown your support and stayed to watch us grow. We will be accepting fosters soon, but we still need to get a few things done before that.

When I’m not rescuing, I am a proud owner of a children’s character entertainment company called Fairytales by Tabatha, LLC. I can assure you even as a princess, I will get on the floor to greet a dog.
