Charli - Urgent Foster/Foster to Adopt/Adopter needed

**Charlie is located on Long Island and available to surrounding areas**<br/><br/>CHARLIE DOESN’T NEED SOMEONE TO “FIX” HER. SHE NEEDS SOMEONE WILLING TO SHOW HER THE WORLD ISN’T SO SCARY. <br/><br/>Many of you may remember Charlie. We previously posted looking for a foster or adopter for this beautiful girl, and thankfully, several people reached out wanting to help.<br/><br/>But since that post, we’ve come to understand Charlie better—and we now know that she needs a very specific kind of home.<br/><br/>Charlie is a beautiful 3-year-old, 60 lb girl who currently lives with her owners, children, her sibling sister and another dog. She has struggled with sibling syndrome, but we have also learned just how fearful and timid she is. Charlie is scared of unfamiliar people, new situations and much of the outside world.<br/><br/>This level of fear can happen when a dog isn't properly socialized as a puppy and doesn't have enough opportunities to safely experience different people, places, sounds and situations.<br/><br/>But that does NOT mean Charlie cannot learn. <br/><br/>We believe there is a sweet, loving girl underneath all of that fear who simply hasn't been given the tools or confidence she needs to navigate the world.<br/><br/>What Charlie needs now is a patient person or couple willing to meet her exactly where she is. Someone who won't rush her or expect too much too soon. Someone willing to slowly introduce her to new experiences, celebrate the smallest victories and give her the time she needs to learn that she is safe.<br/><br/>For now, we are recommending a home without other pets so the focus can be completely on Charlie and building her confidence. That doesn't mean she could never live with another dog again—it simply means we believe this is what she needs at this point in her journey.<br/><br/>Charlie also has an allergy to grains and requires a grain-free diet. Thankfully, there are many food options available for her, so this is very manageable.<br/><br/>Charlie has so much potential. We just need to find the person who sees that potential too and is willing to put in the time, patience and love to help her become the confident, happy girl we know she can be.<br/><br/>If you have experience with fearful or undersocialized dogs—or simply have the patience, commitment and heart to give Charlie the chance she deserves—please reach out to us and complete an application at www.rthrs.com.<br/><br/>And PLEASE SHARE. Charlie’s world has been very small for three years. Help us find the person who can gently show her how much more there is.
