HI! My name is Charlie…And, this is my story
When I was just 8 weeks of age, I was purchased by an elderly couple that had always had a Shih Tzu in their home and family. The person who had possession of me advertised me as a Shih Tzu/Yorkshire Terrier mix. That person, didn’t allow for people to come onto her property to view us…we met at a gas station instead. She wouldn’t even give my new parents her name, just took their money and handed me over. No breeding paperwork, just a scant veterinary log of my vaccines and worming schedule.
Fast forward 14 months…I am too much puppy for my aging family members. They are in their 80’s and I need direction, routine, and structure. I need to play. I need walks. I need adventure. I need an active family that will take time with me, teach me, and let me be a member of their family.
I am 22#. I play well with other dogs. I am indifferent to cats. I love my humans and after a good day of active play, I can be the best lap warmer that you have ever experienced. I am still a puppy and I still love to chew.
My potty training was very unstructured. I would go to the door, but if they didn’t notice me, or couldn’t get up to let me out fast enough, I would have accidents. My parents would just put down pee pads for me instead.
I am fully vaccinated. I am neutered, and I am microchipped. I am ready for my furever home and family. If you are interested, please visit the rescue’s website: almosthomefoster.com
