Do you think I’m cute? All the boys say I am, but they might just be saying that so they can sniff my butt. I have never seen myself. I don’t have a mirror and when they took my picture, they left without showing it to me. So do you think I’m cute?

Shorty
Shorty is a male ten month old Chihuahua mix.
This is his story, as told by his Rescuers in Alabama:
This handsome young man is Shorty. He came to a shelter after a meth lab drug bust. We think he was high on meth on arrival and prolonged exposure has made him blind. He is around 10 months old.
There are some neurological issues. Sometimes he barks at his own tail.
He is underweight, weighing only four pounds. This is either from lack of food or from too much drug exposure.
Sometimes he walks wobbly and is unsteady on his feet. The veterinarian thought this is likely his brain not telling his body what to do, but he does get around fine.
He has sensitive paw pads so we are using washable puppy pads and paw balm. He is loving, sweet and deserves to live a life where he will no longer be in harm’s way, fed regularly, loved, and his very special needs are taken care of.
He will likely live in long term foster care if not adopted. He will have on going needs. Are you the person he needs?
I’m Shorty. Did they tell you about my life before I was rescued?
Well it was a little strange. A lot strange actually. But I still love people and I will love you if you will adopt me. Will you?
Heart
Heart is a female Labrador mix. She is four or five years old. She weighs about fifty pounds.
I am all heart! Maybe why that’s my name. I am very submissive and I’ll even crawl over to you, just so you will accept me and love me.
I’m very sweet and I love every person I have ever met.
Can you see the rings around my eyes?
I see they labeled me as “House breaking started”. That’s a little insulting. Maybe if they let me out when I asked there wouldn’t be any problems.
They said I’m going to Maine, wherever that is, in April, whenever that is. The thing is, whenever I get to wherever I’m going, I’m going to be adopted!!
Now that is wonderful! I can hardly wait!
If you will just adopt me, I will learn really quick and I will do my best to please you. Really. I mean it.
Friday, May 1st, 2020:
Charlie is at the Hospital fighting for his life.
He was fine, happy and playing last night. This morning he collapsed and was unable to stand or walk. We rushed him to the veterinarian who found that he was bleeding internally due to tumors on his spleen. Surgery is not recommended because the cancer has likely already spread. He is at the hospital now and they are trying to stabilize his blood pressure and get the bleeding to stop. If successful, we will bring him home later tonight and he will be on Yunnan Baiyao for the rest of his days. This is not a cure but it may give him a few more weeks or months of life. The veterinarian does not believe that he is in pain. We are sorry to say if his vitals won’t stabilize we will have to say good bye to Charlie. Please wish him well!

What people are saying
I adopted a puppy from Rescue Charlie’s Friends on June 2, 2018 named August. My thirteen year old dog had passed away the month before.
I renamed him. Bud Lite. Bud because he is my Buddy and Lite because he is the Lite of my life.
I am some what of a hermit, but Buddy gets me out walking everyday. We have met many wonderful people and other dogs on our walks.
He means everything to me.
PLEASE keep up the good work you are doing both for the dogs and the families that are fortunate enough to adopt them.
What people are saying
From our Foster now Adopter!
I have always been a dog person.
For as long as I can remember I have had a special bond with these four legged loves.
When my karma died I thought that my heart would rip in two. To me, and many other pet owners, a dog is very much a part of your family, another child. There is nothing like the love that a dog has for their humans.
For many years I have wanted another dog, but as we all know it’s a lot of work and I’ve got enough going on in my life, Ha!
Fostering has been wonderful, it helps teach my kids responsibility, it shows them the importance of volunteer work and helping other beings, we get to have puppies around, and we got to save all of these beautiful dogs who otherwise wouldn’t have it so great.
I would highly recommend it for anyone out there who is a dog lover. It’s hard, yes, because you do fall in love, but it also gives life so much meaning, and it’s such an amazing feeling to see these dogs go to a new special home after coming from not so great circumstances.
This dog right here came into our life by chance. We are going away and the rescue just needed help with her for the weekend so they asked us. From the moment she got into our car, something was different. There was an immediate bond with my oldest and when we took her home it quickly extended to everyone. It just felt like she was coming home. We were absolutely not thinking about getting another dog right now, but just like Hazel, we absolutely could not let her go. She just fit. Even Hazel is realizing that she has a new body. This poor sweet dog had a rough beginning, but we’re here to make sure that the rest of her life is a grand one! I am so thankful that this sweet soul chose us.
