Here's what the humans have to say about me:
NOTE; the last picture of Charlie is on the way to his foster home the day he left the shelter.
This sweet and playful little guy is Charlie. He is a Shih Tzu mix (we think with a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel) - a Cava Tzu - who came to us from the Cleveland City Dog Shelter. He is only 3 of 4 years old, completely house trained and crate trained (although he doesn't need one). He LOVES riding in the car and enjoys his daily walks. Charlie is great with other dogs and loves everyone he meets. The only time we've seen Charlie not get along is with a cat. He is not cat friendly.
Charlie loves to play with toys, loves to chew on a bone and race around the yard. He plays with his two Shih Tzu, foster sibs and snuggles in bed at night. He is fine with respectful children 12 or older. Charlie weighs about 19 pounds but is a little chubby so 15 pounds is a more ideal weight for him.
How Charlie ended up on the streets in such terrible condition is a mystery. He had four inch long mats that hung off his back legs and his ears were matted to the side of his head. Even though, he was a happy boy that begged for attention from his kennel in the shelter and sat on our lap all the way home. He had been someone's pet, coming to us with perfect house manners. Charlie does have an old injury to his right eye and he appears to be blind in that eye. There is a cloudy center in that eye. He doesn't let that bother him in the least. In keeping with his excellent behavior, Charlie is not a barker.
Charlie's adoption will require a fenced yard or a fenced area large enough for him to run and play, that leads directly from a door into the house. He is not a candidate for an invisible fence. His adopter will need to be home more than a typical 8 hour work day will allow; someone that works from home, works very part time or is retired. Charlie would do best with another playful dog in the home and would be fine with older children. No cats. He is a devoted little guy with a lot of character and a playful spirit.
Star-Mar Rescue is a natural care provider. We use no chemicals on our dogs, no commercial flea products (oral or topical), do blood titer tests instead of randomly vaccinating. Our yards are without fertilizer and weed killer and our homes are toxin free. We feel that dogs can be protected without being harmed by harsh chemicals and unnecessary vaccinations and do best on a species appropriate, no grain, raw diet whether that be a frozen raw, freeze dried or dehydrated dog food. We are happy to talk with you about caring for your dogs in a way that keeps them happy and healthy long into their senior years. We place our dogs into homes that are already practicing natural care or homes that are eager to learn. We are convinced that natural care adds years to our dog's lives. We are happy to share with you ways to keep your dog healthy and happy for well into their teens and even into their 20's.
If you feel that your lifestyle and environment meet with Charlie's needs, please contact Martha at learymjri@aol.com or call 330-466-3667 or 330-262-0515 for an application or more information. Charlie's adoption will require an approved application and a home visit, with adoption completed at Charlie's foster home in Wooster, OH. Max's adoption fee is $275. We will work to place Charlie within a 1.5 hour driving distance from his foster home so that we can conduct our own home visit bringing Charlie with us.
