December 9,2019 Adopted!
November 21, 2019
Love on four paws is the best way to describe this precious, long-coat Chihuahua. Charlie is a love-bug who is happiest when cuddling with his female human. He is a needy lap dog who is looking for a forever family where his main caregiver will be a woman who is home most of the time with him. He will take time to be comfortable with men in his home.
Charlie was surrendered to CCRT by his owners who dearly loved him but, due to their new commitments, could no longer give him the time and attention that he required. Charlie needs a forever home where someone will be there to spend lots of quality time with him and also give him the exercise that a young dog needs.
Charlie is very timid with strangers and is afraid of men. He is not at all aggressive; he just keeps his distance and avoids being petted. It takes patience, love and understanding to earn Charlie’s trust.
Charlie is a sweet, medium-energy, submissive boy. Besides snuggling, Charlie loves tummy rubs, going for his daily walks on leash and flying around the backyard at top speed to burn off energy. Zoom-doggie is his favourite sport.
When Charlie first came into rescue, he had no interest in the numerous dog toys in his foster home. Every day now, he likes to carry the toys, one by one, from the toy basket into his bed. Then he goes to sleep surrounded by almost a dozen of his toys. Sometimes there’s no room left for him in his bed.
When Charlie is left alone in the house, he barks for the first few minutes to protest. He also barks loudly whenever he hears a noise, so a condo/apartment would not be appropriate for him. His forever home needs to have a securely fenced yard where he can play and continue his house-training. He chooses to do his business outside and does not use pee pads.
Due to his very small size and the risk of injury, any children in Charlie’s forever home should be gentle, dog-savvy and at least 10 years old. If there is another dog in his forever home, Charlie needs it to be small, of similar sweet temperament and as playful as he is. He is not a fan of larger dogs.
Car travel is quite stressful for Charlie, so a long-distance adoption would not be appropriate.
CCRT’s veterinarian has given Charlie a wellness exam, updated his vaccinations, microchipped and neutered him. He has tested negative for heartworm.
If you are interested in adopting Charlie, please fill out an adoption application. You can also purchase a sweater and/or blanket for him or any of our foster dogs. Please consider becoming a CCRT Sponsorship Angel for any of our foster dogs by making a cash donation towards their care.

I have a 3 year old male chi, looking for a buddy. I have 2 school aged children, a loving home, and an open schedule. I’m very interested in this little guy!
I am retired and home all day so I could give lots of love to Charlie. I recently lost my toy pomeranian to cancer and miss her very much. She was small like Charlie and I took her everywhere I went so Charlie would never be left alone because I would be able to take him everywhere I go also. He would probably become a very spoiled little doggy with all the love I could give him and most of all, he would feel safe always being by my side.
Charlie is now available for adoption. Please consider completing an application form!
Very interested in adopting Charlie when he becomes available, I think he would be a great fit for our family and we would be able to give him a loving home!
I’m retired and have lots of time to play and groom Charlie who I have fallen in love with. I lost my teacup pomeranian to cancer. She was never left alone and went everywhere with me and so would Charlie. This would help to make him feel very safe, loved and protected in our home as he would always be by my side.
