Here's what the humans have to say about me:
If Charlotte could speak, here's what we think she would say . . . Hi. I’m Charlotte, and my new friends tell me that I’m just a baby at seven-months-old. I told them that for a baby, I sure have been through a lot so far. Ok, I’m not 100% sure of what happened to me every step of the way, but I do remember some mean person twisting a rubberband around my ear. He said he was trying to “crop” them - whatever that means. I cried and cried because it hurt so much. And, I don’t think it worked because he only destroyed
one of my little ears. Maybe the coward couldn’t stand my crying and chickened out.
Then, I remember him dumping me in a crowded, scary NYC shelter with a whole bunch of unwanted cats and dogs. I was soooo frightened and my ear was infected so I didn’t feel so good. The nice people at the shelter took me to their doctor who made it feel better. But I was still very scared. I couldn’t figure out what I did to deserve all of this. After all, I’m just a puppy and haven’t seen very much of life at all. Then, after being very lonely in my cement kennel two women took me home for a few days. They brought me back the same week because they “wanted something a little smaller.” I tried to explain that I was just a baby and not a pair of shoes. But they didn’t care at all.
Luckily, as I was being returned for a smaller size, I met two new friends who picked me up in their arms and told me not to be frightened any more. They held me tight and gave me kisses -I had never had anyone kiss me before! I fell asleep in one of my new friends' arms the whole way back to Long Island! I finally felt safe. The great folks at Save-a-Pet gave me my own clean room I have a lot of friends now.
Hey, maybe life CAN be good!
Now, all my new friends tell me that I am sweet as sugar. Yeah, that’s - sugar. They gave me a very pretty name and are teaching me things that all new puppies have to learn like, sit, stay, down . . . I’m pretty darn smart:)
OK, so EVERYBODY loves me. I am very affectionate, friendly, and also very much a puppy.That means I like to play and run and do all of the things I never had the chance to do before. I really, really want a home with a loving human guardian of my own. I see kitties and doggies get adopted by nice people all day long at Save-a-Pet.I am patiently waiting for my turn. Could you love me forever and never, ever dump me for a different size or a different color? Will you give me big kisses and stroke my head? That’s all I want. In return, I will give you everything I have - my whole heart and soul. I will love you until the end of my life. Luv, Sweet Charlotte XXXOOO
