Charlie

Hi, this is Charlie, a loving, active pooch 4 yo that loves to play, carry and chew his toys, yet quite the cuddlebug when it’s time I am a friend of Charlie’s Senior hospitalized guardian, she’s had him approx. a yr. from Hanford Animal Services. He was found on the streets. Their vet estimated him to be 3 so he’s 4 now. so I'm sure he was up on vaccinations as of 1 yr. ago, but as yet we cannot find those records in our office & they have closed down so we can't call & get them. We'll keep looking. We will give him new vaccines if can’t find. His guardian has been in/out of hospital and long term nursing multiple times so she can’t stand to consistently house train him. Currently he is living with, her caregiver, wearing belly bands AND in training by me, her younger friend, during rehoming process. I do ask that his new home would have a secure back yard to romp in & may I see photos before we met/greet? We’d really like to see him in a home with a dog buddy. because is now enjoying romping with mine.Your life be filled with more cheer with our happy go lucky Charlie loving on you.
