Charlie's Story

Meet Miss Prissy (aka Charlie)<br/><br/>Don't let her fancy given name fool you—Miss Prissy is better known as Charlie, or our sweet Charlie Girl! <br/><br/>Charlie is a 2 1/2 year old sweetheart who had a rough beginning, but you would never know it by meeting her today. She has such a happy, loving spirit and is simply grateful to be surrounded by people who love her. <br/><br/>Charlie absolutely loves other dogs and would be thrilled to have a canine companion to play with. She also has a serious love for toys! In fact, if Charlie has a favorite toy, you can pretty much count on it going everywhere she goes. It's her little security blanket and best friend all rolled into one!<br/><br/>She adores people and loves nothing more than being with her humans. Charlie is eager to please, a quick learner, and loves showing off her adorable “sit pretty.” She still has plenty of puppy-like fun in her, including the occasional zoomies that remind everyone she's only 2 1/2! <br/><br/>When the day winds down, Charlie knows exactly what time it is: bedtime! She loves being tucked into her own cozy bed, but she's also perfectly happy to wait patiently until her people invite her into theirs. Really, she just wants to be wherever her people are.<br/><br/>Charlie is the kind of dog who doesn't need much to be happy—a loving family, a few toys, a cozy bed, and someone to call her own. She has so much love to give and is ready for the forever family she deserves. <br/><br/>Charlie Girl is proof that a difficult beginning doesn't have to define a beautiful future. <br/><br/>Apply at www.animallifelinepgh.org<br/><br/> <br/><br/>Animal Lifeline Pittsburgh is an all volunteer, 501c3 non-profit foster based rescue.

Animal Lifeline Pittsburgh's Adoption Policy
1. You must live within 30 miles of Animal Lifeline’s Thrift Store in Homestead, PA. Because we are an all-volunteer organization and we require a home check before approving an adoption, we limit our radius to 30 miles from our store in Homestead. We realize this will rule out some wonderful dog owners, but our valuable volunteers have families and full-time jobs and we need to set a limit. 2. You must own your home. One of the top reasons dogs are surrendered or abandoned is due to a move. While your current landlord may allow pets, a future landlord may not. We realize this will rule out perfectly good applicants, but in rescue we’ve seen this situation far too many times to take that chance. We will require home ownership verification upon finalizing your adoption. 3. An applicant with a fenced in yard will be given priority to an applicant without. For the safety and health of our dogs, we require an appropriately sized, secure space for them to roam and play and run. We do not consider an electric fence an adequately fenced yard. 4. We will verify employment and income. A sudden illness or injury can incur hefty vet bills. Many people opt to euthanize or surrender an otherwise rehabilitative dog. Too many people gave so much love, sweat, tears, time, and money to get these dogs to you to have them surrendered or euthanized because they become financially burdensome. 5. We will not adopt to a home with very small children. Our top priority is to find the perfect match for your family and our dogs. Far too often we are asked to take in a family pet because a child was injured, whether from an overly rambunctious dog or the child’s interaction with the dog. Your top priority will be to protect your child, ours is to keep your family safe and give our dogs the best chance for a lifelong loving family. We cannot with 100% certainty guarantee the safety of your very young children and we won’t take that risk. 6. You cannot have 5 dogs or cats or combination of dogs and cats in the home*. As this is the guideline for many municipalities, we will not approve an applicant that already has reached this limit of 5. Though your municipality may allow more, we will give preference to another applicant. A home-check will be done before approving an adopter. *If your municipality allows less than 5 we will adhere to the limit your municipality has set. 7. You must be at least 25 years old to apply. A valid license with your current address must be submitted upon finalizing adoption. 8. Vet records must be made available and current and show your dogs and cats (past and present) have been spayed/neutered, are up to date on all their shots and preventative measures, and have regularly been seen for wellness visits. An adoption contract will require continued wellness visits, preventative measures (flea/tick, heartworm, vaccines, etc.), heartworm testing, and a scheduled spay/neuter* before the age of 6 months. *Animal Lifeline will cover the cost of spay/neuter at one of our partnering vets. We know our application guidelines may be strict and you may not agree with them, but our number one priority is a successful lifetime placement of our dogs, many of whom have been wronged in the worst way by humans. We made a promise to find them the best home and life possible. Please respect our process. Thank you!
