Charlie

Charlie may be tiny at just 5 pounds, but this handsome 8-year-old Chihuahua has a heart that's ready to grow.<br/><br/>Charlie came to us from a heartbreaking hoarding situation involving 130 dogs. While he's understandably shy in new situations, curiosity often wins out. He's one of the braver little survivors, quietly watching the world around him and taking small, courageous steps toward trusting people every day.<br/><br/>Because Charlie has always found comfort in other dogs, he needs another friendly small dog in his forever home. A confident canine companion will help him continue to build confidence and discover that life outside the hoarding house can be full of love, soft beds, and gentle hands.<br/><br/>Charlie is crate trained, potty pad trained, and rides nicely in the car. He's still figuring out what a leash is all about, so his new family should be prepared to continue introducing him to the world at his own pace. Cats are unknown, and due to his timid nature, he's looking for a home without small children.<br/><br/>And did we mention he's simply adorable? With his tiny size, expressive eyes, and sweet little face, Charlie has a way of melting hearts without even trying.<br/><br/>Charlie isn't searching for excitement-he's searching for security. A patient family, a confident little dog friend, and a peaceful home are all he needs to continue blossoming into the loyal companion he's meant to be.<br/><br/>If you're willing to let Charlie move at his own pace, you'll discover that the sweetest friendships are sometimes the ones that take a little time to bloom. <br/>Please apply here: <br/>https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/DBSR/Dog<br/><br/>His minimum adoption donation amount is $275.
