My story

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

!Adoption Fee Sponsored! Charlie (aka Charlie-ShihN), is a very special little guy who is house trained, quiet and obedient, low-keyed, and just wants that special person to love him. Yes, Charlie really does need a special person! He has diabetese and requires 2 insulin injections a day. Other than the two shots, which really becomes routine, Charlie is perfect and would make a great companion. He has had dental surgery; updated rabies and distemper vaccinations, that are not due again until 2028; full blood analysis, and a microchip.
This “special needs” guy will steel your heart!
