My story

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

Charlie is a sweet 7 year old male chihuahua/pit mix who weighs 27 pounds. He came in as a stray but we were able to get in touch with a previous owner who had was no longer able to keep him. They told us "Charlie had been fine around their older kid (tween) but they did not think he would do well with a baby. As they were planning to have more kids, they decided to rehome him." He is doing his best to stay housetrained at the shelter and would love to be in a home soon.

On 3/11, a volunteer noted: He was sweet and easy to handle from beginning to end. He loved to be pet, walked nicely on the leash and pottied when taken outside. He was easy to return to her kennel and seems like a lovely pup!
