Charles's Story

Don’t let his small size fool you - Charles has a big personality and knows exactly what he likes! This charming senior Chihuahua may be a little nervous in new environments at first, but once he settles in, he’s more than happy to take on the role of king of the castle. Charles enjoys the simple things in life: leisurely sniffing adventures, cozy spots to relax, and long, peaceful naps in the sunshine. He’s the perfect companion for someone looking for a laid-back buddy who appreciates a calm and predictable routine. While Charles enjoys affection from his favorite people, he prefers it on his own terms. He does not enjoy being picked up or restrained, so he is required to go to an adult-only home where his boundaries can be understood and respected. With a slow and thoughtful introduction, Charles may do well with other calm dogs who can match his relaxed lifestyle. If you’re looking for a small dog with a big presence and a love for the quiet life, Charles may be the perfect addition to your home!<br/><br/>Adoption Price: $150
