Adopted: Charlie's heading home


I think this may be a record for the shortest time we've had a foster dog. Charlie had an application when she transferred into our home from another foster home and it ended up being a really great fit for her.


Charlie's new mom is retired so they can spend lots of time together. She was looking for a dog who liked to go for walks and who didn't mind meeting new people since she'll go for regular visits at a nearby nursing home. Charlie was just the girl she was looking for.

One thing about Charlie is that she bonds incredibly strongly with her person so I was hoping that she'd find a home quickly before she became too attached to me. Now she can get started relaxing in her new home and bond to her forever mom.

So happy life, sweet Charlie!

Most people are looking for a young dog but they miss out on some really great dogs like Charlie. Often older dogs are well house trained and have less of the frenetic energy of a young terrier. So don't skip over the middle aged or elderly dogs when you next look for a new furry member for your family.
