My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Adoption application at www.aberdeenstr.com ***MUST SUBMIT APP before we will respond to email or phone inquiries. Thanks for your cooperation!***
 WE ARE NOT A SHELTER, WE ARE AN ALL VOLUNTEER RESCUE WITH FULL-TIME JOBS. Please do not contact us to come look at a dog We will contact you once we have received and reviewed your completed application. A Home visit as well as a reference check MUST be completed before a meet & greet.
Charlie 33 lb, possibly Aussie Shepard mix, 1 year old, neutered, chipped, etc

He can clear a 4 ft easy so needs a home with a fence higher as he jumps a 4 ft easy.


Say hello to the sweetest, loving & such a joy of a sweetheart, Mr Charlie. Talk about love, love love.
Charlie unfortunately lost his home he had only known due to 2 deaths in the family within a 7 day period & needed help with finding his new forever family & are we so glad we were able to help this full of life & love fellow.


Charlie is neutered, possibly a Aussie Shepard mix, but what he is mixed with we do not know for sure. He weighs roughly just over 33 lbs, is up to date on his shots, heart worm negative, chipped, loves all other dogs, great with people, we have not had him around children & we have not had him around cats before.

It’s mandatory for Charlie to go to a forever home with another very playful dog in the home as he loves the companionship of other dogs.
Charlie’s foster mum said he is very affectionate & playful loves to be with you & loves to play with other dogs & rides beautifully in the car.
Charlie is thin & we are trying to fatten him up but this is definitely going to take some time but he sure does enjoy eating & making up for lost time.
Charlie needs a home with a fence higher than 4 ft as he can easily jump a 4 ft fence so this is required when applying for Charlie.
Charlie also enjoys a good walk & so far has not met a person he had not liked the company of.


Charlie has not been around cats since being in the rescue but it’s always up to the new family to be responsible with their animals together & we have not had him around small children so this would be up to the new family to be responsible with.

We do not know for sure what breed Charlie is & it’s always up to the new potential family to look at the pictures & decide what they think his breed is.


As with all of our rescues & Charlie friends he will need work on potty training & training, so this should be something the new family would be willing to work on & commit to. Please do not submit an application if you are not willing to commit to one of our rescues care for their whole life & that includes if they need training. We would also never say one of our sweet beloved rescues are potty trained. Our rescues need homes where the people are understanding of their past & what they have been through & what they will need in their daily lives & not willing to give up on them & if they do need training will in fact take them to training.


Please only submit an application if you are truly interested in adopting Charlie & going through the process and have read his listing fully to the end & are interested in adopting. If you are not responsive to our calls, emails or your references do not respond we will move on & remove your application from our system. You must be willing to go through our screening process which includes your references being checked, a phone interview & a home visit followed by a meet and greet & if it’s a good fit, up to our discretion. We will only be accepting applications for Charlie that meet all the requirements for this adorable little fellow.
Once we find the right home for each little soul we work fast, within days so the dogs can go to their forever homes in quite a timely manner. We do not hold onto dogs for people as our goal is to save lives. We also cannot respond to every application unfortunately.

Charlie has an adoption fee of $685 & is ready for his forever home.


An application must be filled out before consideration for adoption. Please do not apply for a dog until you are ready to commit a lifetime to him/her. We are an all-volunteer 501c3 non-profit group of animal lovers. Our adoption fee is non-negotiable as we need these funds to pay our current medical bills for our dogs as well as any future dogs we rescue as well.
As an adopter, you must be prepared to accept the fact that these dogs are rescues and, just like you and I, they all have their own individual personalities. In most cases, these little ones have been through a difficult journey that started when their family gave them up or they became lost. They may have been under stress, neglected or even abused in their past life or frightened by being left alone on the streets to fend for themselves. 
Our number one focus is finding these little loves a wonderful forever home with a family who is going to care for them and show them what it is like to be loved, a safe environment, a full belly and a warm bed. These sweet babies do not ask for much from you but they may require a little patience and understanding.
WE ARE NOT A SHELTER, WE ARE AN ALL VOLUNTEER RESCUE WITH FULL-TIME JOBS. Please do not contact us to come look at a dog We will contact you once we have received and reviewed your completed application. A Home visit as well as a reference check MUST be completed before a meet & greet can be scheduled. Thank you for your patience and cooperation.
