Charlie is an approximately 8–9-year-old Dalmatian who was found as a stray in 2019. Since then, he has shown us just how wonderful, loving, and loyal he is. Charlie is great with children, good with other pets, friendly, affectionate, and an all-around amazing dog. He is a sweet companion who deserves a family that can give him lots of love and attention.
This is an incredibly difficult decision for us, but our family’s circumstances have changed. With two little ones at home and both adults working full-time, we simply aren’t able to give Charlie the time and attention he deserves. This is not because Charlie has done anything wrong—quite the opposite. He is an amazing dog, and we love him dearly. That’s exactly why we want to find him a home where he can receive the companionship, walks, love, and attention he deserves.
