In the shelter’s words

Seeking foster, foster to adopt or adopter. Charlie was suffering from a blocked urethra and painful bladder stones, and his owner faced the difficult decision to euthanize him or surrender him. The amazing staff at @MedVet Emergency Clinic contacted us so he could get the lifesaving care he needed. We immediately stepped in. Thanks to our incredible vet team, Charlie was unblocked, had his bladder stones removed, and also underwent NARES surgery and a soft palate resection so he can finally breathe easier. He was also treated for double ear infections and allergies. If you're looking for a super chill, oversized lapdog that loves cuddles, Charlie is your boy! He is adorable, loves all people, and is great with dogs of all sizes. He patiently puts up with his 15lb three-legged puppy foster sister and has made doggy friends everywhere he goes. He is super affectionate and loving. He is just an easy-going dude that likes to eat, play, chew toys, and then take long naps. He is a hilarious, big-bulldozer-of-a dog who unintentionally rearranges furniture and snores like a grown man. We have a ramp set up so he can walk up to the couch, and he would happily spend all of his time with his head or most of his body on you while you relax and binge-watch your favorite shows. He is the definition of a couch potato. Charlie is an absolute big hunk of love! He has been shuffled around too many times in his life through no fault of his own, and he absolutely deserves a loving home to comfortably live out his golden years.
