In the shelter’s words

Charlie is a 4-month-old puppy who has been through more in her short life than most dogs face in a lifetime. When she was only a few weeks old, she was attacked by another dog, and her front leg had to be amputated. Through all of it, Charlie has stayed the sweetest, most gentle puppy you will ever meet. She doesn't let anything slow her down. She gets around well on her remaining front leg, though she tires easily, so long walks aren't her thing. She's more of a "patio princess" who loves soaking up the sun outside, then settling in for a cuddle. Key Facts Age: 4 months Weight: Currently 11 lbs; expected to be 40-45 lbs full grown Health: Recovering from another round of Kennel Cough, but doing well! She can handle short stairs and short walks, though she'd rather cuddle on your lap or in her bed. Crate Training: Crate trained and sleeps well Potty Training: Still a work in progress, but she's learning fast! Kids & Other Dogs: Does great with all people and with other dogs. She is currently in a foster home with toddlers and another dog, and she absolutely loves them all! She loves everyone and is gentle and respectful. Personality: Sweet, calm, and happy to be wherever you are The adoption fee of $550 will include spay/neuter, microchip, age-appropriate/required vaccinations, treatment for heartworm, and any other necessary medical treatment to ensure a healthy new pup for your family. IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER: Although we do our best to describe the breed, since our pups all come from shelters, we can not and will not make any guarantee on breed or size. We can tell you that they are 100% RESCUED! And that is the BEST breed! *Please note that we are a foster home-based rescue and we do home visits as part of the adoption process - we are unable to adopt to families who live outside of the Chicago and surrounding suburbs. Thank you for your understanding.
