Charlie

Description

Charlie was heartworm positive and has completed treatment! He’ll need to be retested in February to make sure treatment was successful. The adopter will be responsible for the cost of the retest. My adoption fee is $300 (card $309), because I am a medical case or am heartworm positive, which includes: ·      Annual distemper booster ·      Rabies ·      Spay/neuter ·      Microchip *** The rescue will pay for the injections for heartworm treatment at Shoreline Vet. Hospital in Jacksonville. My adopter would be responsible for the take home meds which average about $200, depending on size, over the 4-month span of treatment. Meet Charlie! Sweet, quirky hound dog with an old soul looking for a soft place to land in his golden years. Low-energy gentleman who loves lounging in his dog bed with the occasional stroll around the yard. Great with dogs of all sizes and absolutely adores kids ages 5–11. He’s wonderfully clumsy, so tiny toddlers may want to give him a little extra room. No crate needed! Charlie doesn’t like being crated but has done wonderfully left loose in the house while his foster mom runs errands. Mostly potty trained and will pace or give a random bark when he needs to go out. Ask, “Charlie, go potty?” and he’ll head for the door. Food is serious business! He should be fed separately from other pets, and the kitchen trash definitely needs to stay out of reach. Bath-time champ once you convince him to actually get into the tub. Terrified of fireworks, thunder, and other loud noises. His future family should be prepared to help him through storms and holidays and discuss situational anxiety medication with their veterinarian if needed. Charlie is a deeply loving, low-maintenance companion who just wants a peaceful home where he can feel safe, snooze in comfort, and spend his golden years being adored.
