Meet Buddy. Buddy is a 2-year old chihuahua mix. He weighs 15 lbs. Buddy is neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, and heartworm tested. He is almost house broken. We don't know about Buddy's history. He was found as a stray in Dayton, OH area. We rescued him from the shelter. Buddy is very skittish. He is timid to places where he is not familiar with and may show fear aggression. We are looking for a quiet home for him. The adopter needs to be patient with Buddy. Buddy is fine with everybody. He usually stays away from the crowd and very quiet. However he has food aggression. He always fears that someone would take away his food/treats. Hence a home with children is not suitable for him. Once he is comfortable with you, he would come to greet you and let you to pet him. Buddy's adoption fee is $250. Please submit the adoption application at https://charlieswishanimalrescue.org for scheduling a meet and greet.

Meet Lily and Daizy. They both are female chihuahua mix. Both are 2-3 years old, weigh 10-11 lbs. They both are spayed, vaccinated, microchipped, and heartworm tested. Both are not completely house trained. They use pee pads inside the house. Lily and Daizy are a bonded pair. They need to be adopted together. Lily is the black/white girl. Daizy is merle in black and tan. Both are timid and skittish. Lily is the boss of the pair. She may show fear aggression to strangers. But once she warms up, she is a sweet girl. Daizy is a shy girl but warm up quicker than Lily. She LOVES to give kisses. Both like to sleep with their foster mom under the blanket. Because of Lily's temperament, we think it is better for them to go to a home without kids. Both are food motivated. Both are friendly with dogs. We are not sure how they think about cats. LIly and Daizy's adoption fee is $500 Please submit an adoption application at http://charlieswishanimalrescue.org to schedule a meet and greet.

Story
Moe is a sweet and loving dog. He is shy and gentle with humans. He has never shown any aggression towards other animals or people. Unfortunately, he is having frequent accidents because he is scared of our other dog. We got him as a puppy and have had both dogs for 2 years. the issue has not resolved and it is not fair to him. He is energetic and loves to go for walks. He does potty outside every time he is taken outside. He would probably do best in a home that does not have other pets. He will not show aggression but he may be scared. We won't let him go until we know that he is going to be loved. He deserves to go to a family who can love him, be gentle with him, and respect his gentle nature. He is great around children! He can be timid around men at times but is fine once he trusts the person. He would do best with a yard to run and play. He is neutered and records can be provided. He does not have any health issues and just turned 3 (DOB 5/19/22).

Reacher is boarding at Celina Pet Center. Reacher was treated tick disease in February. Reacher is a fun boy who loves butt scratches! He is very friendly and approaches anyone with confidence.

Story
Pepper Jack is in a foster home. He is learning how to be a house hound. He is doing very well. Pepper Jack is a smart hound. Pepper Jack is related to other cheese named hounds. Munster, Copper, Feta and Brie are siblings to Pepper Jack. Pepperjack is 2 1/2 years old (born 12/9/2022) and weighs 75 pounds and he is now actively searching for a loving home. He was returned 12 days after his adoption through no fault of his. He is now in a foster home in Ohio for a week and he receives a stellar report! He loves his cushy dog bed and loves to ‘bed fail’. He loves his toys and plays with them regularly; he even cuddles them on his bed. Mostly he loves chasing squirrels in the backyard. He is house broken; we have not had an accident. He doesn’t mind getting a bath – a bonus! He also loves to go for car rides. He also sleeps in the crate all night without a peep. He is a sweet, loving, boy and doing a very good job learning doggie manners. No kitties for this boy and he definitely needs a fenced in yard as he loves laying in the grass and enjoying the sunshine. Pepperjack is heartworm negative and is microchipped. Pepperjack needs a fully fenced in yard. If you want to adopt PJ, please email the ALP: americanlurcherproject@gmail.com.

Story
Roxie is a 7 year-old Boxer/Doberman mix who weighs 67 lbs. She was surrendered to CHA when her owner could no longer care for her. Her previous owner reported that she lived with cats, children, and other dogs. Since being at CHA, she has done well meeting other dogs, but prefers to coexist rather than play. Though she is an older girl who enjoys those leisurely moments, she still has a lot of pep in her step! She loves to play with her stuffed toys, play bowing and throwing them around the room. Roxie also likes exploring and is a great walking buddy with wonderful leash manners. If you`re looking for a playful, affectionate, intelligent dog, come meet Roxie today!

Story
Meet Gamera! She was found as a stray...Or really, she found us! Gamera was running loose around CHA and she walked right through the front door. She is a 1 year-old mixed breed dog who weighs 43 lbs. We`re so glad Gamera found her way to us, because she is the sweetest girl. Gamera is very affectionate, and enjoys spending as much time with her people as possible. She is equally happy to curl up on a cozy blanket for some cuddles as she is to go for a long walk. While Gamera is super sociable with people, she does not love interacting with other dogs or cats. Due to this, she would do best in a home where she is the only pet. Gamera has plenty of love to give though, and will make a wonderful companion!

Hi, my name is Eartha! I`m learning to be a bold, playful puppy and am seeking an active family of my own! Currently, I`m a bit on the shy side. As with any puppy, I will need patience and understanding as I navigate and learn about the world around me! I`ll benefit from reward-based training as I learn about potty training and foundation manners. Although I`m small now, I may grow up to be a medium to large sized dog with moderate to high energy levels. I will also benefit from continued socialization with other dogs, people, sights, and sounds! I am approximately 9-10 weeks old and weigh 16 pounds.

Story
Beckham is an 11 month-old mixed breed who weighs 40 lbs. This rambunctious, affectionate girl came to CHA through our partnership with the ASPCA. She was originally transferred from a shelter in West Virginia that was affected by a natural disaster. Beckham is a sweet, wiggly pup who loves attention and can be a bit dramatic (in the most endearing way) when she feels she is being deprived of it. She also loves other dogs, and enjoys wrestling and running around the yard with her doggie playmates. Beckham still has lots of puppy energy, and can be a little mouthy when she gets excited. Because of this, we are recommending she goes to a home with more mature children who are old enough to participate in her training. As with any puppy, Beckham will benefit from continued positive reinforcement training as she learns her manners. If you`re looking for a goofy, affectionate dog to keep you company on your adventures, Beckham could be the girl for you!
